MY DASHING BILLIONAIRE - Katie Evergreen - One Free Ebook

Welcome back, Katie. What are some of the spiritual themes you like to write about?
I love to fill my readers full of hope. I think that hope is such an important thing to have. It allows us to reach for our dreams, to always keep striving for what we believe in.

Then there’s compassion. If we can be compassionate towards others and ourselves then the world could be a peaceful place. I think self-compassion is so important, especially in the age of social media where everyone looks perfect. Allow yourself to love yourself.  

That is so true. What other books of yours are coming out soon?
The next two books in My Billionaire A-Z series are due out before the end of the year: My Heroic Billionaire and My Idyllic Billionaire. I’m so excited for you to be able to read both of these books. Keep an eye on my webpage for more details.

If you could spend an evening with one contemporary person (not a family member of yours), who would it be and why?
I would absolutely love to meet Phoebe Waller Bridge, she’s an acclaimed screenwriter who wrote Killing Eve, Fleabag, and has been writing the new James Bond. She comes across as down to earth, immensely clever, and oh so funny. I think an evening with her would be magical.

What historical person would you like to meet and why?
I would love to meet Jane Austin. Her books were full of wit and so well written. I think she would provide an entertaining meeting and could help me craft my romance writing down to a tee.

How can you encourage authors who have been receiving only rejections from publishers?
To keep writing. Nothing helps us become better writers than practice. And try not to feel disheartened. Perhaps your book is just not right for that particular person. All writers receive rejections. Just as all jobs have an interview process, so does getting an agent or a publisher. I think as writers we don’t like to talk about rejection because it feels as though it is a failure, whereas in other professions it’s more openly discussed. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, it shows hard work and determination.

Yes, authors need to learn that rejections aren’t personal and aren’t really saying your writing isn’t good. So many things can cause the rejection. Maybe they recently contracted a book with a similar story and other things like that. Tell us about the featured book.
My Dashing Billionaire is set in the wonderful City of London. It features a royal, Edward, and a budding artist, Everly. There is intrigue, a splash of thrills, lots of famous locations, and of course the romance. I loved writing about Edward and Everly, they came to life so eagerly on the page.
Here's the blurb:
Naïve young painter Everly Simpson has won the chance of a lifetime—an opportunity to study at the most prestigious art college in London. Traveling alone, all the way from her home town in Kansas, Everly has to battle not only homesickness and loneliness, but also a fellow artist determined to sabotage her work. It’s almost enough to send her home, until she comes face to face with the dashing patron of the college—a man who admires her as much as her talent.

Thirty-first in line to the British throne, Edward Harrington has a problem. Every year, his charity finances an art scholarship to find an undiscovered new talent, but this year he has fallen for one of the artists. Can he remain impartial and distant? And can he convince the royal household that a poor American girl is worthy of his love?

A painter thrown into a world she doesn’t know, who finds love in the most unlikely of subjects. A man whose family have already lined him up with a suitable woman, who yearns for freedom. A secret romance that could rock the very fabric of the royal household. With everything to play for, and everything to lose, what kind of future will they paint for themselves?

The fourth in the acclaimed My Billionaire A-Z, a clean billionaire romance series, My Dashing Billionaire takes you to the heart of Britain—tea, scones, and plenty of romance.

I’m eager to read this book for a number of reasons. The top two are that my youngest great-granddaughter is named Everly, and I love to read about royals. Please give us the first page of the book.
Everly Simpson ducked her head against the rain as she ran toward the gallery. She had only been in London for a fortnight, but she still hadn’t worked out the maps for the underground, and she was battling against the time. She reached the grand flight of red brick steps and jogged up them as best she could in her sparkly silver heels, pushing through the revolving door at the top. Everly shook the rain from her jacket and took a moment to get her breath back. Nobody else in the gallery looked phased by the rain. They looked prepared for every weather eventuality.

And so they should, Everly thought as she smiled to herself. They’re British.

It was midwinter, the beginning of January, and in the last two weeks alone Everly had witnessed rain that made her normally thick, dark-brown, silken hair turn as stiff as a paintbrush, hail hard enough to knock her sideways, strong winds which had almost whipped her portfolio out from her hands, and sun bright enough to burn her already golden skin. It was a far cry from Colby, Kansas, whose weather system was as predictable as its road system.
