The Lying Game is Live!

by

The Lying Game is now live on Amazon! It is $2.99 for a limited time.

Amazon Bestselling Author Mickey Miller brings you the first book of a sexy new duet.

Living with a sexy-as-sin roommate in a luxury penthouse should be a fantasy brought to life, right?

Not when it’s Carter Flynn–my teenage crush–who hates my guts.

When I’m in town for a once in a lifetime dance camp, my living arrangements fall through at the last second.

I have no other option but to crash with my childhood family friend…turned millionaire athlete.

He still hasn’t forgiven me for the lie I told him years ago that shattered his heart.

But underneath it all, there are shades of the same boy I used to know, before his heart turned to stone.

I can tell myself all I want that I hate him, too. But deep in my heart, I know I’ve never wanted anyone more in my life.

When you’re playing the lying game, the most dangerous lies are the lies you tell yourself.

THE LYING GAME is Book 1 of The Game Duet. It is an enemies to lovers, steamy contemporary romance.

Book 2, THE END GAME, is coming September 27th.

Mickey Miller Audiobooks are live!

by

Ever since I started writing and doing Facebook Live Feeds where I would read my sexy stories, my readers have been asking me questions:

‘When are you going to get your books on audible?”

“Are you going to record the male POV of your own books!”

While it’s flattering, I have not yet had the time to dedicate to voice recording my own books, although I’d like to, soon. Coincidentally, I met a sound engineer yesterday and he gave me his card. I may very well get something cooking on that front before the end of 2018.

But for now, I had my agent do the casting and find full-time voice actors for The Blackwell After Dark Series, as well as Ten Night Stand!

I listened to Professor with Benefits the other night, and got lured back into the story! I’m a big audible fan myself, so I loved seeing the story brought to life. I will say Shannon Gunn did a great job with Professor Hanks, and definitely gets my style and sense of humor I wanted for the character.

Here are the links to the audible books:

 

 

 

 

One last note today. I’ve been doing some thinking, and I’m going to do another Facebook Live Acoustic Guitar concert. This will be a Thursday night event, If you weren’t there for the last one, it was EPIC! I am getting a list of songs together this weekend for you all! People really enjoyed the concert last summer, and I can’t wait for the next one!

Why I’m doing an #ImprovisedStory

by

A few of my readers have asked me what the deal is with my ‘Improvised Story’ that I’m doing in my Facebook Group. Allow me to explain.

Improvised Story is glorious. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday between 10 am and noon. I post a new chapter (sometimes a partial chapter) of the story of Jax and Harmony in my group. So, going chapter by chapter, it will take about a month to finish this book, updating a few chapters every week. You know, like how old periodicals used to deliver chapter by chapter stories of James Joyce novels.

Wait. Mickey, I don’t get it. What do you mean, the story is “improvised?”

Essentially, the ‘improvised’ part means I’m making it up as I go. Or, since I turn around and take suggestions from my readers after every chapter, WE are making it up as we go. It’s a fun, interactive way to create a story. And I definitely use the suggestions I get as much as possible.

 

How’d you come up with the idea?

In one of my nine lives before I started writing romance, I wanted to be a professional improviser. I live in Chicago so it wasn’t hard to take a class on the art of improvisation. It’s a little crazy, since sometimes we might get the suggestions ‘washing machine’ and have to turn that into a half hour show. But, the fun is really in the challenge. I wrote my book Ten Night Stand as an improvised story as well. I won’t write every story like this, because half of the fun of writing is surprising my readers. But on the other hand these stories can be quite fun to do. Writing is a solo activity–and this is one way to engage my readers regularly.

 

Does it get tough trying to come up with something?

I’m of the school that I don’t believe in writer’s block. What we call writer’s block is really just fear of what we’re writing, and of course I’m often afraid of what’s going to come out of me when I write! On the other hand, this is actually a great way to get out of my comfort zone as a writer and try some new things.

For example, for this book I had my readers help me with the character charts for Jax and Harmony. We even voted on the names! And it came out that Jax is a little standoffish and jaded, whereas Harmony is mousy and a fantastic guitar player.

 

Where are you in the story right now?

Jax was feeling really down, and he decided to head into this random bar on the outskirts of town. Harmony was playing guitar inside, and he felt lifted up hearing her voice. It was exactly what he needed to feel better. Then, Harmony’s ride ditched her, and Jax said he’d take her home. She was a little apprehensive about getting on the back of a stranger’s motorcycle, but she took her anyway. That’s where we’re at!

Want to join in the fun of the improvised story? Join my Facebook Group and leave your comments when the chapter is posted. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 10 a.m. (central time). I’ll also be having people vote on some of the outcomes and actions that happen, through the week!
