Lauren Asher: I had a general idea of the main trope (second chance), which I had decided upon when I wrote The Fine Print, but I had no idea Final Offer would end up becoming a childhood friends-to-lovers-to-strangers plot featuring a small lake town. Did you always know that was how Cal’s story was going to be? For the other two books, it was much easier to decide on the colors and feature sketch on the front.Ĭulturess: Without giving away any details about Final Offer, I will say that it’s unlike the previous two installments in the series. Once I saw her draft, I knew we had our cover. Back when we were discussing ideas for The Fine Print cover, I told her I wanted it to be blue for blueprints and feature a castle for Dreamland. Lauren Asher: My designer, Mary, is the true mastermind behind the covers. Do you give an idea of what the covers look like or anything you want to be added?

While I’m a fan of Disney World, as I got older, I ended up really loving Islands of Adventure because of the rides.īack in 2021 before I wrote The Fine Print, I watched a ton of videos on theme parks, including ones about how they function behind-the-scenes and the history behind certain rides and lands. Lauren Asher: I grew up in Florida, so visiting theme parks with family during holiday breaks was always a fun idea. I’ve read so many sports romances over the years, and I really wanted to take a chance on creating my own racing world that focused on glitz, glam, and romance.Ĭulturess: Your upcoming release is Final Offer which is book 3 in your Dreamland Billionaires series so I have to ask are you a Disney fan and if so, what inspired you to write a series centered around a similar establishment? My love for romance books and my interest in Formula 1 was one of the biggest motivators I had for writing a book of my own. ![]() Lauren Asher: Time really does fly when you’re having fun because it feels like I just published Throttled last month rather than three years ago.

That’s why when I was given the opportunity to talk to Lauren, I couldn’t say no. Even though most of the series follows some harder topics and characters dealing with hard truths, the romances are great and the cast of characters is lovable. To me, there is something so comforting about these books. ![]() Both of these are widely popular and beloved, but the Dreamland Billionaires series holds a special place in my heart. If you don’t recognize Lauren Asher’s name, you might recognize some of the books she’s published including the Dreamland Billionaires series and the Dirty Air series.
