The Itzel Library [TIL]: ¿Cuando nació Victoria Michaels como escritora? / When born Victoria Michaels as a writer?

Victoria Michaels [VM]: Empecé a escribir hace como 3 años y medio. Fue algo que hice principalmente como un hobby en mi tiempo libre y me descubrí que realmente lo disfrutaba. Creo que inició desde ahí.

--I started writing about 3 1/2 years ago. It was something I did mainly as a hobby in my spare time and found I really enjoyed. I guess it grew from there.

TIL: ¿Cuándo surge Trust in Advertising? / When did Trust in Advertising born? 

VM: Trust in Advertising comenzó a bailar en mi cabeza, hace unos dos años. Acababa de terminar de escribir Boycotts and Barflies que fue ligero y muy divertido, y quería tratar de escribir algo un tanto diferente, al extremo. A partir de ahí, nació Trust in Advertising! Fue muy divertido escribirlo y desarrollarlo, y estoy muy orgullosa.

--Trust in Advertising started dancing around in my head, about two years ago. I had just finished writing Boycotts and Barflies which was light and a lot of fun, and I wanted to try and write something a little different- with edge. From there, Trust in Advertising was born! It was a lot of fun to write and develop and I'm really proud of it.

TIL: ¿Puedes contarnos sobre Boycotts and Barflies? ¿A qué público va dirigida? / Can you tell us more about the Boycotts and Barflies? What audience is aimed?

VM: Boycotts and Barflies es lo que yo llamaría una "beach read". Es divertida, ligera y ojalá consiga que los lectores se rían a través de las páginas. Se trata de un grupo de amigas que juran que estarán sin hombres por un tiempo y, por supuesto, de repente se cruzan con chicos de los que no pueden tener suficiente. Pero la apuesta está hecha, alguien podrá jactarse del logro, y se convierte en un desafío ver quién puede aguantar más tiempo y ganar. Sólo tienen que decidir que es lo que más desean ganar, la apuesta, o el chico.

--Boycotts and Barflies is what I'd call a "beach read." It's fun and light and hopefully will have readers chuckling your way through the pages. It's about a group of girlfriends who swear off men for a while and of course, they suddenly cross paths with guys who they cant get enough of. But a bet was made, bragging rights are on the line, and it becomes a challenge to see who can hold out the longest and win. They just have to decide what they want to win more- the bet, or the guy.

TIL: ¿Puedes decirnos 3 razones por las cuales la gente debe leer tus novelas? / Can you tell us 3 reasons why people should read your novels?

VM: ¿Tres razones para leer mis novelas? Creo que son divertidas, coquetas y llenas de personajes disfrutables. B&B es un paseo de locura para los personajes a medida que se ajustan al amor y las risas. Trust in Advertising se trata de ir tras lo que se quiere, lo que te permite a ti mismo crecer, y en última instancia, confiar en alguien con el corazón.

--Three reasons to read my novels? I think they are fun, flirty and filled with characters you can enjoy. B&B is a crazy ride for the characters as they navigate love and laughter. Trust in Advertising is about going after what you want, allowing yourself to grow, and ultimately trusting someone with your heart.

TIL: Si pudiera ser uno de sus personajes por un día, ¿quién sería y por qué? / If you could be any one of your characters for a day, who would you be and why?

VM: ¡Qué gran pregunta, y difícil! Tendría que decir, Lexi blanco de Trust in Advertising, porque me encantaría tener la oportunidad de cruzarme con su némesis, Jade.

--What a great question, and a tough one! I would have to say, Lexi White from Trust in Advertising because I would love to get the chance to cross paths with her nemesis, Jade.

TIL: ¿Hay algún proyecto en curso del que nos pueda hablar un poco? / Is there an ongoing project of which you talk a little?

VM: Hay algo en lo que estoy trabajando, pero me estoy tomando mi tiempo. Me gusta probar cosas nuevas cuando escribo y este libro tiene más acción y misterio que en lo que he escrito antes. Trata de dos personas que se conocieron en el pasado y se encuentran tiempo después para trabajar juntos en un caso. Sus vidas están en la línea y los viejos sentimientos comienzan a crecer en los momentos más inoportunos. Peligro, amor y misterio ... todo en uno!

--There is something I am currently working on, but I'm taking my time with it. I like to try new things when I write so this book has more action and mystery in it than anything I have written before. It's about two people who knew each other once upon a time and are thrown back together after a number of years to work on a case. Their lives are on the line and old feelings start to grow at the most inopportune times. Danger, love and mystery... all rolled into one!

Lexi White finds herself at a crossroads. After putting everything on hold to care for her ailing father, it’s finally time for her to start living her life again. An exciting new job holds the promise of a fresh start, until she comes face to face with someone from her past who has always stopped her dead in her tracks, and who evidently still has the power to make her forget her own name. This time around, Lexi’s a grown woman who refuses to back away from her dreams, even if it requires working with her old high school crush. Side by side. Every day. Will he end up being her downfall or exactly what she needs? 

Vincent doesn’t even remember Lexi from high school, but he begins to take notice when the fiery young woman is hired as his new assistant. Quickly, Lexi turns his world upside down and becomes an invaluable addition not only to his team, but to his life. Having learned a few hard lessons about trust in the past, Vincent is reluctant to let down his guard, especially when it appears that someone is out to sabotage his family’s advertising agency. Professionally, they are dynamite together, but when sparks fly between them personally, will Vincent let lies and jealousy ruin everything between them, or will he finally learn not only how to love, but ultimately trust…in advertising?
