Warning: This story does contain scenes of a sexual nature and is the type of book your mama will have warned you about. This black woman & white man interracial romance is a 25,000 word novella and part of "the boy is mine" mini-series. LENA SKYE Q&A ABOUT "THE BOY IS MINE": Q: If a reader has not read “Pretty Fly For A White Guy” then can they still read this? Lena: I made sure to write this story so it could be read stand alone even if you did not read the “Pretty Fly” series. There might be the odd mention of events in the previous books but they are not going to be crucial to the new storyline. After all, there are plenty of spin off TV shows like Frasier where they stood in their own right and I feel that “Boy Is Mine” can also be good in its own right and not just a “spin off”. Q: So what made you decide to even do a Spin off rather then start a brand new series? Lena: Quite simply it was down to the demand! I had many emails from my readers actually wanting me to carry on with Nicole and Kenneth's story which I took as a compliment. It just showed me that the readers really loved all those characters so much that they did not want the story to end and so the only real logical way of keeping it going in some way was by changing focus to another character. Q: What made you choose Patrice for the spin off? Lena: Patrice was always everyone's favorite “secondary” character from the first series and with her being the only single girl left in the group it made sense, plus she is a bad ass! Who wouldn't want to read about Patrice?? Q: Will we see Nicole and Kenneth make a cameo appearance in this story? Lena: Well, I do not want to give any spoilers away now do I? I think it is best to scroll up and buy a copy to read for yourself!
