Hey there, fellow book lovers! Mandy M. Roth here, and I am beyond excited to share an exclusive interview with my bestie and fellow author, Michelle M. Pillow. As someone who has had the privilege of witnessing Michelle’s creative genius up close, I can tell you that her latest book, Merely Mortal, is an absolute must-read for fans of urban fantasy and paranormal romance. Michelle has poured her heart and soul into this story, and I can’t wait for you to dive into the magical world she’s created.
In this fun and engaging interview, Michelle opens up about the inspiration behind Merely Mortal, shares insights into her characters, and gives us a sneak peek into what’s coming next in the series. Trust me, you’re in for a treat! So grab your favorite reading spot, get comfy, and let’s dive into the world of Merely Mortal with the amazing Michelle M. Pillow. Enjoy!
1. What inspired you to write Merely Mortal ?
The inspiration for Merely Mortal came from my fascination with the supernatural and a deep-seated desire to explore what it means to be human. I wanted to create a world where magic and danger coexist, and a relatable character like Tamara who navigates this setting. The concept of belonging and identity, especially in a powerful supernatural family where she feels like an outsider, really drove the story. Plus, I’ve always loved blending romance with fantasy, creating that perfect mix of adventure and emotional depth.
2. Can you tell us a little about Tamara, the main character?
Tamara is an incredible character who embodies resilience and strength. She’s a mortal trying to find her place in a world dominated by supernatural beings. Despite being underestimated by her powerful family, she has an inner strength that shines through as she faces various challenges. Tamara’s journey is one of self-discovery, learning to embrace her uniqueness, and finding love in unexpected places. She’s relatable, tenacious, and her growth throughout the story is something I’m particularly proud of.
3. What was the most fun part of writing this book?
Oh, there were so many fun parts! But if I had to choose, it would be building the supernatural world that Tamara lives in. Creating the intricate details of the magic, the creatures, and the dynamics within her powerful family was incredibly enjoyable. I also loved crafting the romantic elements, weaving the tension and chemistry between Tamara and her love interest, Paul. Seeing their relationship develop amid the chaos and magic was a delight.
4. How do you balance romance and fantasy in your stories?
Balancing romance and fantasy is all about ensuring that each element enhances the other. For me, the key is to integrate the romantic storyline seamlessly into the fantasy world. The magic and supernatural aspects should enrich the romance, providing unique challenges and opportunities for the characters to connect. It’s important that the romance feels organic and integral to the plot, not just an add-on. In Merely Mortal, the love story is deeply intertwined with Tamara’s journey, making both aspects equally compelling.
5. Are there any recurring themes in Merely Mortal that fans of urban fantasy and paranormal romance will love?
Absolutely! Merely Mortal is filled with themes that fans of urban fantasy and paranormal romance will adore. The struggle between good and evil, the search for belonging, and the transformative power of love are central to the story. There’s also a strong emphasis on personal growth and embracing one’s identity, which I think many readers will find resonant. And of course, the blend of magic, danger, and romance provides a thrilling and heartwarming experience that fans of the genre will enjoy.
6. What can readers expect from the next book in the series?
The next book in the series, Mostly Shattered, is going to take readers on an even more intense ride. Without giving too much away, expect deeper dives into the supernatural world, more intricate magic, and higher stakes for Tamara and her companions. There will be new characters, unexpected twists, and of course, plenty of romance and adventure. Tamara’s journey is far from over, and I can’t wait for readers to see where it takes her next!
Thank you for the fantastic questions! I hope you all enjoy Merely Mortal as much as I loved writing it. Happy reading! 🌟📚✨

Tunes and Tales: Inside the Writing World of Mandy M. Roth
Welcome to an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the creative world of bestselling author Mandy M. Roth. In this interview, we dive into the heart of Mandy’s writing process, exploring how she effortlessly weaves intricate tales of romance, fantasy, and adventure. Discover the melodic inspirations that fuel her creativity, as Mandy shares her love for music and how it shapes her storytelling. Join us as we uncover the symphonic harmony between Mandy’s captivating novels and the powerful soundtracks that accompany their creation.
How Music Fuels Mandy M. Roth’s CreativityQuestion: Thank you for joining us today, Mandy! To start, can you tell us a bit about your writing process? How do you approach writing a new book?
Mandy M. Roth: Thanks for having me! My writing process is quite organic. I normally jump right in and start writing, getting to know my characters as I go. I’ve been blessed to naturally hit the story beats without needing to plot everything out in advance. In fact, when I try to plot, I often come to a standstill and can’t write at all. I trust the story to unfold as it needs to.
Question: That’s a very intuitive approach! I’ve heard that many authors listen to music while they write. Do you find music to be an important part of your writing routine?
Mandy M. Roth: Absolutely! Music has been a huge part of my life since as far back as I can remember. It sets the mood and helps me get into the right headspace for different scenes. I create extensive playlists on Spotify for each book I write, tailored to the themes, characters, and emotions of the story. You can check out my public profile to see what I listen to while writing.
Question: That’s fascinating! Can you share a bit about what kind of music you typically include in your playlists? Do you have any favorite genres or artists?
Mandy M. Roth: My playlists are quite eclectic. They range from classical music to rock, pop, electronic, and even some cinematic scores. It really depends on the vibe of the book. For intense action scenes, I might listen to something fast-paced and energetic, while for emotional or romantic moments, I prefer softer, more melodic tunes. Some of my go-to artists include Sleep Token, Two Steps From Hell, The Cure, NIN, and Florence + The Machine. Their music really resonates with the kinds of stories I write.
Question: How do you decide which songs to add to a particular book’s playlist? Is it based on the lyrics, the melody, or something else?
Mandy M. Roth: It’s a mix of both the lyrics and the melody. Sometimes the lyrics perfectly capture a character’s feelings or a particular moment in the story, and other times, the melody alone can evoke the right mood. I spend a lot of time curating these playlists to make sure they align with the narrative and help me stay immersed in the world I’m creating. The process is almost like casting a spell to set the scene and draw out the right emotions.
Question: That’s incredible! Lastly, do you find that your musical tastes influence your writing in any other ways?
Mandy M. Roth: Definitely. Music has a way of inspiring creativity and shaping my storytelling. Sometimes, a song will spark an idea for a scene or a character arc. It’s like a symbiotic relationship; the music influences my writing, and my writing influences the music I choose. Plus, music can be a great motivator. On days when the words aren’t flowing as easily, putting on the right playlist can reignite my inspiration and keep me moving forward.
Question: Thank you so much for sharing your insights, Mandy. It’s been a pleasure learning about how music intertwines with your writing process.
Mandy M. Roth: Thank you! It’s been great talking about two of my biggest passions. I hope it gives readers a little glimpse into the magic behind the scenes.
