Spotlight & Giveaway: The Immortal Tailor by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff

Today it is my pleasure to Welcome author Mimi Jean Pamfiloff to HJ!

Hi Mimi Jean and welcome to HJ! We’re so excited to chat with you about your new release, The Immortal Tailor!

 
Hello to all my fellow mortals! Who’s ready for a fun, crazy series with a torturous, slow-burn supernatural love story?
 

Please summarize the book for the readers here:

When the gods need help, who do they call? Their immortal tailor, of course!
But Damien Greystone isn’t your usual tailor. Now retired and living a quiet life in his shop, he was once what they call a “fixer.”

He was the kind a guy you called if you’re a vampire who’s been caught on tape overindulging on a human snack. What video tape? What dead body? Nothing to see here!

Or, say, you’re a werewolf who forgot about the full moon. And you just happened to be grocery shopping. What witnesses? What security footage? No werewolf sighting here, folks.

But now the immortal world is in big trouble, and the gods are asking Damien to come out of retirement. It’s the last thing he wants, but they make sure he can’t say no.

Everything seems to be going fine until he meets a beautiful journalist, Sky Morales. She sets off a chain of events that will change his world forever.
 

Please share your favorite line(s) or quote from this book:

“…Oh! You have nice lips. Very pouty. Can I play in your mouth?” Pet asked.

“No,” Damien replied.

“How about a taint massage?” She wiggled her little finger at him in a scratching motion.
Gods help me. Sex fairies were known to be easily distracted and wildly horny, but this one seemed a bit much. He needed to get the info and send her on her way. “You are not getting anywhere near my taint. Now tell me why you attacked—”

“I meant my taint.”

Please share a few Fun facts about this book…

• This book is a spinoff of the Immortal Matchmaker Series. And the Immortal Matchmakers was a spinoff of the Accidentally Yours Series. While they’re all completely different storylines, I’ve been writing these characters for ten years!
• Damien Greystone is based off the character/show Ray Donovan in terms of his profession. A fixer. Only, Damien handles the supernatural world.
• While the cover looks dark and gory, the story is really light and zany. Yes, a few gory moments, but it’s mostly comedy.

What first attracts your Hero to the Heroine and vice versa?

This is a slow-burn love story, spanning over multiple books, so I won’t reveal the heroine yet (there are two possibilities at the moment), but I’ll say what I LOVE about the hero, Damien Graystone, is that he’s absolutely blind to his true nature.

For example, he repeatedly claims he doesn’t care about the creatures he’s helping. Yet he gives them homes, protects them, and even finds one a mate. He puts others ahead of himself in every situation.

But because he believes he’s evil and cursed, he doesn’t see himself for who he is. A hero.

Did any scene have you blushing, crying or laughing while writing it? And Why?

I personally love how all the creatures in the story are constantly getting up in Damien’s grill! No boundaries! It drives him nuts. Here’s the best, and funniest example.

Excerpt:
Pet crinkled her nose. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“You were touching me while I slept!”

“Nope. I was in your closet playing with your underwear. They needed more holes.” She popped something in her mouth and chewed.

She was eating his boxers? “If it was not you, then who?” he growled.
Pet swiveled toward the foot of the bed. Her little eyes went wide, and then she spit out whatever she’d been eating. “Oh, Sky. That’s pretty dirty.” She snickered. “You’ll have to teach me that.”

Damien looked in the same direction. Nothing there. “Are you…are you speaking to Sky?” he asked Pet.

Pet nodded. “She said she just watched you jerk yourself off in your sleep. She thought it was hot.”

“Get. The. Fuck. Out. Both of you!” he yelled.
Pet shrugged. “Want me to leave Gorgonzolina?”

“Gorgon-what?”

“The demon you rescued.” Pet pointed to a lump under the covers at the bottom of his bed.
What the hell? Rule number one about love-sucking demons: don’t ever let them sleep in your bed.

Readers should read this book….

They want a good laugh! Sexy drama! Quirky immortals. Something non-cookie cutter. Oh, and they don’t mind getting into a series that will take a few years.

What are you currently working on? What other releases do you have in the works?

I am about to work on either JUST MR. LOVE (RevoLUVtion, #2) which is my new adult superhero Rom-Com series. (VERY CRAZY AND FUN!) and I’m going to write the 3rd Suite #45 story: She’s Got the Time. It’s an Action/Thriller under my M.O. Mack penname.

Excerpt from The Immortal Tailor:

This has not been proofed so please excuse any typos!

The woman’s name was Sky Morales. Thirty-two years old. Dark brown hair. Very attractive face.
No. No. Not attractive. Especially her full lips and ample bosom. She was plain, unremarkable, and definitely not worth looking at. At least, that was the lie he needed to tell himself. His lust was a luxury she could not afford.

Keep it professional, Greystone, he told himself.

From her photos on social media, he’d say she was a size ten and enjoyed provocative yet professional clothing—tight tailored skirts, snug satin blouses, lots of cleavage. Not so unusual for someone in the public eye. An independent journalist and entrepreneur with a popular news site, coveted for non-biased reporting: Sky’s Fresh Air News. Transparent, nonpartisan, and independent.

What he found unusual, however, was how Sky had recently received national recognition for publishing a series of investigative reports exposing sex traffickers in California. Why would a woman just hitting her stride professionally go public with a wild story about a winged creature attacking her?

According to the police report and the interview she gave several weeks ago, she had been shopping with her sister at SouthPark Mall, near Cleveland, Ohio, when she was attacked in a sporting goods store.

Yes, that sporting goods store. Named after a penis.

It was a well-known fact that sex fairies were drawn to places with sexy names: Hand Job Nail Spa, Dirty Hoe Garden Supplies, and Master Bait Tackle Shop, to name a few. Then there were the towns: Climax, Colorado. Bald Knob, Arkansas. Mary’s Igloo, Alaska. Sugar Tit, Kentucky. If the name sounded dirty, a sex fairy could be found nearby despite the lack of anything particularly sexual occurring in these places.

No one ever said sex fairies were smart.

But back to Sky. She gave intimate details of trying on a swimsuit for an upcoming camping trip with her sister and nephew. She claimed she slid the bikini bottoms over her underwear and suddenly felt something moving around.

She pulled the bottoms down to find a purplish winged creature about the size of a hummingbird. She screamed, swatted at the thing, and fell down, only to have it dive into her panties, where Sky wrestled with the thing and managed to keep it from, well, doing what sex fairies did.

Interesting. Sky’s account of the attack sounded legitimate. Sex fairies were known to get aggressive when startled or afraid. Simply put, they looked for the nearest place to hide. If it happened to be a human orifice, so be it.

But had this been a fairy attack, or had the creature been frightened by something?

Book Info:

From New York Times bestselling author Mimi Jean Pamfiloff comes a new immortal series filled with dark humor, angst, and a brooding hero who loves a good tweed: The Immortal Tailor.

THE IMMORTAL WORLD IS IN TROUBLE, AND THE GODS DEMAND . . . THEIR TAILOR COME TO THE RESCUE?

Long ago, Damien Greystone hung up his guns, knives, and rope for the quiet life of a tailor. Sure, his clients now include the likes of bloodthirsty vampires, a hair-obsessed Bigfoot, and fourteen insane deities, but at least Damien doesn’t have to kill anymore. And, sure, he’s been cursed to live alone for all eternity, but nobody’s life is perfect. Right?

Unfortunately, his monk-like existence is about to come to a screeching halt. The gods’ powers are on the fritz, and they’re demanding his help.

But when Damien starts investigating, he meets Sky Morales, a beautiful journalist who’s up to her ears in danger (and one very aggressive fairy). He has no choice but to dust off his weapons.
Can he protect her without getting too close? Because his “curse of solitude” doesn’t negotiate, and bad things will happen to Sky if he so much as feels a flutter of affection.

And as if that pressure weren’t enough, his precious store is being looked after by a love-sucking demon and a punk chick who has a knack for insulting everyone. Bigfoot isn’t pleased.

The sooner Damien can get this job done, the faster he can get back to his peaceful life. If only he weren’t enjoying getting his hands dirty again. Just like the good old days that got him in trouble.
