Hi, Holly, and welcome to my blog. Let’s get started with
the questions.
RW: What’s your story/backstory? Why would someone come up with a
story about you?
HH: Hi Rochelle and readers, my name is Holly Hill. I am the ingénue
pushing my late-twenties and point-of-view for the London and Hollywood series
of Affairs of the Heart.
My story?
It’s a woman’s search for self and a life filled with meaning—and with any luck—make
a difference in the people in my life.
Does that
happen? We’ll see! The twist and turns as the story unfolds make my goals seem
beyond my reach as I willingly take a chance on love and follow my heart. But
that chance comes with high consequences, especially if I make the wrong
choices. They could lead to destruction and worst—the deaths of the ones I love
most.
The
reason for my story?
I think
there comes a time in everyone’s life when they want to break from the past and
create a new future of their own choice. I know I do. I suffered a great
tragedy in my early twenties and reacted badly. Trying to define myself became
impossible as my family and close friends became very watchful and protective
of me, and that doesn’t allow much space to grow and develop my talents and
ideas.
I work at
a high-profile criminal law firm with wealthy celebrity clients as a paralegal
and occasional investigator into the dark side of the law; however, I live in
the shadow of a childhood friend who keeps a watchful eye on me. That
relationship has led to an engagement, but I see it as another manipulation to
keep me close and watch me.
Now, I’m on
a new adventure in another country far from friends’ and family’s watchful eyes,
with two wonderful men who create situations where I’m able to make my own
mistakes and victories, and to revel in the joy and growing freedom I’m
encountering.
Another
reason for my story might be to get a behind-the-scenes peek at the 1980s rock
music scene. I’m unwittingly thrown into the thick of it, and others may enjoy
a snapshot of how rock musicians behave on and off the stage.
In my
case, to see how two very strong and determined men, who climbed to the top of
the 1970-80s word wide music scene, come to terms when they inadvertently fall
into love or obsession with me—the outsider, with my own wounds. I never would
have considered finding love in the fast-paced, dizzy, thrilling, and
unpredictable sex- and drug-drenched world of rock-and-roll with infamous
outlaw music men.
RW: Can you tell us a bit about your hero?
HH: My hero… Well … I have two. One is Luka, the other Kaine. They
are similar in that they are intelligent, self-made men, very successful, and have
amassed large fortunes.
They
differ as one, Luka, is a behind-the-scenes and blonde-haired, while Kaine is the
dark-haired front man in a rock band.
They both
are charismatic and unbearably handsome men used to getting what they want when
they want it. Women are plentiful, and the music business has caused both to become
very jaded. They’ve lost their belief in one true love.
And oh,
did I mention? They’re both interested in me and have entered into an intense
rivalry to impress me.
RW: Do you expect your heroes to help or are they the problem?
HH: At first glance, I don’t have expectations from my heroes. Each
lives in a world alien to me. Everything I’ve experienced with them makes
expectations difficult, as their world moves fast and I barely have time to
evaluate each twist and turn.
Looking
deeper, I can see I do expect their help—in regards to both of them treating me
with respect and honesty, so I’m able to make wiser choices for my future with
them. And that each will put my wellbeing and security on the top of their
list.
But as I
found out, sometimes they also become the problem as we ride the ups and downs
of the music business.
RW: Where do you live?
HH: I live in West Hollywood, California, high above the Sunset Strip
on a curvy tree-lined street in the hills of Laurel Canyon. My cottage is cozy
and surrounded with trees and a garden laced with a rainbow of blooming flowers.
However,
in the story, I also visit England staying in a five-star hotel, and other
times traveling first class in the American Southwest staying in executive
mansions. Finally, I conduct secret investigations on Briarwood Estate, an
historic castle in Surrey, England.
RW: During what time period does your story take place.
HH: My story takes place in 1989 London, England, the American Southwest,
and Hollywood.
RW: How are you coping with the conflict in your life?
HH: I’m exhausted, confused, overwhelmed, and sometimes falling
apart. Other times I’m exhilarated, and the happiest I’ve ever been. I’m up for
the new challenges this adventure has given me and very hopeful for a happily ever
after ending.
Thank you
Rochelle for having me, I’ve had a wonderful time.
Thanks
for stopping by our little backwater burb of the Windy City to talk with me. I
couldn’t exactly offer you a five-star hotel, but my house is Elizabeth Clean
this weekend. My daughter’s so meticulous, she ordered the limo for her wedding
early so she could clean it to her specs. I always say “There’s clean, and then
there’s Elizabeth Clean.” And you never have to sleep alone at my place. Acey’s
always accommodating, though he’s probably not as sexy as the two men you
described. But you lucked out. Tink slept on my lap in the recliner, and she’s
a chunky cat.

Bio:
KEW’s love of rock music began at a very young age when she
returned glass Coke bottles for change to buy 45 rpm records. Her interest
moved from the music to the musician, and living in Hollywood, she interviewed
the Beatles when they landed at Los Angeles International Airport. Acquiring a
taste for the funny Englishmen, she began dating one of the Rolling Stones, and
that exposed her to sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Later her memories surfaced
in the Affairs of the Heart Series where she weaves her behind-the-scenes
anecdotes with her long love of fairy tales and castles, mysteries, lightning,
and thunder into a romantic suspense story.
