Two Crazy Ladies Love Romance #TuesdaySpotlight: Goddess of Forgetfulness by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff



Welcome to Two Crazy Ladies Love Romance
Tuesday Spotlight!


Goddess of Forgetfulness
by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff




“FORGET ME! PLEASE!”

The Goddess of Forgetfulness has spent seventy thousand years wishing for a man to remember her for more than five seconds. But when her wish is finally granted, she’s appalled. Távas is cocky, handsome, and seven feet of rude muscled man. He can’t possibly be her mate! But all signs are pointing to yes. Okay, at least a strong maybe.

Is this some sort of cosmic dating error? She darn well hopes so.

Determined to discover the truth, she agrees to one date. Just one! But the night is about to reveal that his real identity is crazier and more alluring than she ever imagined.

What initially inspired you to write Goddess of Forgetfulness?

Really, it was just her time.  She’s one of the fourteen gods in my IMMORTAL MATCHMAKERS, INC., SERIES and, of course, she’s always forgotten about.  Seemed only fair that she finally get her chance at love!

Tell us a little about the characters in Goddess of Forgetfulness.

In a nutshell, I can’t tell you about the hero because he is a HUGE surprise. But I can give you a small hint: He appears briefly in book #2, TOMMASO.

As for our heroine, the lovely goddess, it’s safe to say that she is a dating train wreck. No one remembers her, which makes it very difficult to get a date. But she’s hopeful he’s out there! 

What was the hardest part of writing this book?

Working over the holidays was not easy. We hosted Christmas this year, so imagine me cooking three times a day for eleven people for a week. I pulled off Christmas, but this book was not easy to get through. 

Could that be why it’s so silly?

What was your favorite chapter (or part) to write and why? 

My favorite actually contains a spoiler, so I’ll go with the moment FORGETTY is begging her sister, Cimil, to help her find a mate. Of course, nothing FORGETTY says or does is remembered, which makes it really hard:

“Dammit, Cimil! Focus. It’s me, Getty!”

“Hmmm…sounds vaguely familiar.”

“Just stop. Okay? I’m really trying here. I need to find my mate. Can you help me or not?”

“Not.” 

“So that’s it. You’re just letting the ship sink, and you won’t even lift a finger to help your own sister or the humans in our care.”

“Oh, it’s Forgetty! Why didn’t you just say so? And nope. It is as I’ve told you. There is no mate for you. You are destined for eternal misery and spinsterhood. Seriously, don’t even hope.” Honestly, though, who the hell knew? Without powers, Cimil’s ability to clearly hear all of the things the dead were saying was impossible, and she only knew of one man in the entire universe who was totally ape shit for Forgetty. 

But that guy is eviiiil. His soul was so dark that shadows feared him. This dude was so scary that the boogie man dressed up like him for Halloween. He’s so bloodthirsty that even vampires feel like complete pussies in his presence. All right, except for my pharaoh, Roberto, who only feels like a pussy on Saturdays when I dress him like a Sasquatch, which really looks like a big hairy vajay-jay. Hey, why the hell am I talking about this? Is anyone listening? Anyone? Testing, testing.

No one replied. 

“Sorry, Forgetty. Looks like you’re on your own,” Cimil said. 

What are your future project(s)?

I’m working on a secret project and SKINNY PANTS (book #3, The Happy Pants Café)

Is there anything else you would like to tell the readers about this book/series? 

Thank you for having me!  And I hope if you’re looking for a laugh, you’ll give FORGETTY a read!

Interview with Reut Barak

What did you enjoy most about writing these books?

It’s great to make something for the first time. Funny Fairy Tales are a new type of book. It works like an app and feels like someone is telling you a story. They are also a very quick read, a bit like a snack, something fun you read on the plane or waiting for the train. Kindle were very excited (and very helpful) when they saw it for the first time. We spoke on the phone twice a week to get the formatting right, and I love the results. So it’s a lot of fun.

What was the hardest part of writing these books?

I think each one of them was a challenge on its own. Definitely the hardest was Red Riding. It's my favourite fairy tale. I used to have wolf nightmares as a kid. When I first started writing, I would write for an hour, and then hate it and erase most of it, then start again. I love the results, and I love the wolf. I based him on two men I knew in my life who were such an inspiration to me. He's also based on so many myths I read about. I wish I could meet him for real.

Have you ever had one character you wanted to go one way with but after the book was done the character was totally different?

Cinderella surprised me. Right at the end, she suddenly did something so brave and unlike her original character. She stepped up and changed her life, seeking the help she needed to solve the problems I created for her. I didn't see that coming until the words came out of my pen (keyboard). I love surprises.

What do your plans for future projects include?

Next in the series is Hansel and Gretel. A couple of weeks ago, I asked my readers on Facebook which Fairy Tale they would like to have next. 200,000 people interacted with the post and the winner by popular demand is Hansel and Gretel. I'm so happy. I love it to bits (I'm a big fan of chocolate!) after that there are a few more I have in mind. It's going to be exciting.

Who are some of your favourite authors that you feel were influential in your work?

Hmm... that's a tough one. I have so many to choose from. If I had to choose two, my favourite book is Jack London's Call of the Wild, which is so good I can hardly believe it was written. It is so convincing and it's written from the point of view of Buck, the dog who releases generations of being tame and becomes a wild wolf. London taught me that anything can be written. Mark Twain taught me that anything can be written funny!

Born into the wealthy Simpson family, free-spirited Willow is determined to make her own way in life. Cooking is her one true love, and she is content to keep it that way.

With two gorgeous men vying for her attention, she vows to keep her distance from both, but the tantalizing chemistry is hard to ignore.

Unfortunately, it seems that someone wants to get rid of Willow, making her already tricky situation that much more difficult. One crazy night changes everything, and Willow’s life is turned upside down. Between thwarting her own murder plot, keeping her divinely tasty admirers at bay, and trying to stay on the good side of her finicky cat, Omelet, Willow’s plate is full.
