<p><strong>Guest:</strong></p><p>Mimi Francis</p><p><a href="https://mimifrancis.com/" target="_blank">https://mimifrancis.com</a></p><p>In Part 1 of the interview, host Jenn LaBuzz introduces spicy-romance author Mimi Francis, who writes across Hollywood second-chance romances, small-town love stories, and her bestselling mafia-romance series. Francis shares how her breakout novel Taken by the Mobster began as Supernatural fan fiction before evolving into an original contemporary tale of a bank teller kidnapped by a handsome mobster. She discusses her energetic, idea-driven writing process, her preference for “pantsing” over outlining, and her unique chapter-by-chapter drafting method. Francis also previews The Mobster’s Daughter, an age-gap, on-the-run romance connected to her shared-universe series.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>About Mimi Francis</strong></p><p>Mimi Francis is a sassy romance writer known for her steamy tales of passion that leave readers breathless.
