WELCOME MAYA!!
MBA&M: Good morning, Maya and welcome to MBA&M. Please tell our readers, who may not know you a few tidbits about yourself?
MB: I live in the south with my husband, three children and several furbabies. I have six kitties and two dogs, a sheltie and an English Mastiff who is HUGE but still thinks he’s a lap dog. When I’m not writing (which isn’t often!) I love to travel with my family and hunt and fish.
MBA&M: “BURN” is book 3 in the “Breathless Trilogy”, what do you feel is the appeal of this series to readers?
MB:It’s hard to know what readers think, but I would assume that they enjoy the stories because they’re emotional, character driven stories. All of my books, no matter what genre are always emotional reads. They are what I love to read so it stands to reason that it’s what I would write. I love a really over the top, angsty, cracktastic story!
MBA&M: Using one word, describe the following these characters in the “Breathless” Trilogy….
Ash McIntyre : Intense
Jace Crestwell : Passionate
Gabe Hamilton : Brooding.
Josie: Creative
Bethany: Kind-hearted
Mia Crestwell: Loyal
MBA&M: Who was your favorite character to write?Why?
MB: Ash and Josie were my two favorite characters to write. I always knew that Ash would be more intense than Gabe and Jace even though he outwardly APPEARED to be more laid back and easy going. So it was fun to get to the heart of him and show readers the “real” Ash.
MBA&M: Do you feel readers should read the “Breathless” Trilogy in order, “Rush”,”Fever” than your latest release, “Burn” or can they be read as stand alones?
MB: Oh they can definitely be read as stand-alones, however, I think readers would ENJOY them more if they read them in order simply because you get to meet characters of future books in that very first one and you get to see them over the span of the three books and follow along with some of the secondary characters, like Caro, Mia’s best friend, and her progression in her relationship with her boyfriend, Brandon.
MBA&M: What is next for you?
MB: I have a new trilogy releasing in 2014 called the SURRENDER TRILOGY and it will follow a similar track as the Breathless trilogy so readers can expect all three books to be released in 2014. I’ll be posting covers and blurbs later in August.
MBA&M: What is your biggest accomplishment in your writing career?
MB: If you look at “performance” than I’ve hit several career highs in 2013 with Shades of Gray, the 6th book in the KGI series hitting #4 on the NYT bestseller list. And then when FEVER released in April, it hit #2 on both the NYT and the USA Today bestseller lists, so that was really exciting. However, for me the biggest accomplishment PERSONALLY is simply every single time I get to the end of a book I’m writing. There is no bigger sense of accomplishment than finishing a book because every time I start one I feel like I’ll never be able to write as good as book as the last one and that I’ll never get to the end.
MBA&M: Why writing a series/trilogy, do you get lost in your characters/stories?
MB: do. I get absorbed in them and they live in my head constantly. I’ll go to bed at night thinking about them and I’ll find myself thinking about during the day when I’m not writing and I’m always eager to get BACK to them.
MBA&M: What do you do to escape the world of writing and relax?
MB: I love to read and I find that reading is actually the best way to recharge the batteries after coming off a string of back to back deadlines. There is nothing more satisfying than reading a really yummy romance that gives me a happy sigh as I’m reading it.
MBA&M: Where can readers find you and where may they purchase “Burn”?
MB: Readers can find me on twitter (@maya_banks) or on Facebook (www.facebook.com/authormayabanks) or on my website, www. Mayabanks.com and they can purchase Burn at any online retailer in digital or print and at stores like Target, Barnes and Noble, Books a Million and lots of independent bookstores across the country.
Thank you, Maya for stopping by a spending time with us and our readers today!

Breathless Trilogy
Ash, Jace, and Gabe: three of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the country. They’re accustomed to getting anything they want. Anything at all. For Ash, it’s the woman who changes everything he’s ever known about dominance and desire…
When it comes to sex, Ash McIntyre has always explored his wilder side—extreme and uncompromising. He demands control. And he prefers women who want it like that. Even the women he’s shared with his best friend, Jace.
But Jace is involved with a woman he has no intention of sharing. And now even Gabe has settled into a relationship with a woman who gives him everything he needs, leaving Ash feeling restless and unfulfilled.
Then Ash meets Josie, who seems immune to his charms and his wealth. Intrigued, he begins a relentless pursuit, determined she won’t be the one who got away. He never imagined the one woman to tell him no would be the only woman who’d ever drive him to the edge of desire.

My name is cornellia, am from UK I live in Canada, I have been married for over 5years and no issue(baby) to show for it, I and my husband have gone to different places for help for me to get pregnant, but all our efforts where fruitless. My husband became tired of me and started accusing me of the cause of our problem. I tried to make him believe that I don’t know why I cannot get pregnant. But as a man he pays deaf ears to my words. It came to a time when he gave me an ultimatum to leave his house. I became more crazy and restless. I search for help including where there is no help. My husband finally sent me packing after 5years of our marriage. when I was in my parents’ house I was still searching for a solution until I met an old school friend whom gave me the contact of this spell caster Dr odion, she said he saved her marriage too. I contacted him for help. He told me that it is never too late that I will need two spell in one. Which means an ex back spell and a fertility spell. He actually cast a spell for me after 48hours of his spell; my husband came to my parents’ house looking for me. We got back together again. That made me so happy. Still with his fertility spell, I became pregnant after 2months of his spell. What a powerful man. I am the happiest person on earth. If you need any help, I recommend this great man to you, I am so sure he will help you the way he helped me.drodionspelltemple @gmail. com
