Author of Her Favorite Brother
Tell us a little about yourself
Hi! My name is Magdalin and I write dark and sexy novels. I was homeschooled most of my life, I’ve been drinking coffee since I was eight, and I’m currently renting out my friends closet in New York. Life is pretty good!
What prompted you to write your upcoming or latest release?
I started writing the Mia Thorton series for myself, thinking I’d never ever share it with anyone. But after the first novella was finished, I realized it wasn’t as shameful as I originally thought, and decided to see if anyone else would like it too. Surprise surprise, it turns out I wasn't the only one who had serious daddy issues! So it motivated me to keep writing erotic stories, but I knew I didn’t have it in me to continually write different characters for each scenario I wanted. It takes me a little bit to create fully fleshed-out heroines that I can care about and grow with. So instead of writing a bunch of standalone erotic stories, I decided that Mia Thorton would just have to be the kind of girl who gets up to a lot of trouble. And so she became the main character of all these different sexy scenarios. Each book of the series follows her, but she gets a new love interest every time. This third book, Her Favorite Brother just happens to feature TWO new love interests. A dark and dangerous brother-in-law and her sweet and overprotective stepbrother, mixing the spice and sugar together in this cute little menage.
What genre and tropes are in your upcoming or latest release? Why these?
Her Favorite Brother first and foremost features the stepbrother trope, as well as the brother-in-law (through her husband) trope. It is a romantic thriller with femme fatale themes, messy characters that are still learning, alphaholes, as well as a sweet golden retriever boy. Bickering stepsiblings, soap opera appreciation, and the mafia. This one technically has a HFN, but if you’ve read my previous books you know to expect twists and turns till the last minute.
If your main character had a day off, how would they spend it?
Mia Thorton has every day off since she inherited all the money she could ever ask for. She likes to spend her days shopping, doing hot girl things, and watching soap operas. Her favorite soap is a fictional series called The Lives That We Live. Before she was married, she enjoyed her life and body by going clubbing and sleeping with half the city.
