Reign of Pride
Dark Reign Book 1
by A.G. Kirkham
Genre: Contemporary Mafia Romance
Nero was born and raised to take over "La Famiglia". It is his destiny. Along with this power comes
traditions, one being marrying a dutiful wife to have dutiful babies and raise them to respect the ways of
the family. It is a severe handicap to fall in love. Enemies take those you love and use them to their
advantage. Can Nero resist the youth and charm of Felicia or will she be the downfall of his destiny?
Can he lose all he desires by letting his heart rule instead of his head?
Felicia always knew that she would be promised in marriage, but was assured by her father that her future
husband would be a man that she could fall in love with and would love her in return. Instead, when an
attack hits the school, Felicia grabs her friend's hand and they run for their lives. Her quick thinking
saved them both and her reward, Nero. Felicia understands tradition and the ways of the Famiglia but
was not prepared to marry the next Capo. How does she make a man made of ice fall in love with her?
I was born in a small town in Italy. My parents are loving people; and true traditionalists. I grew up being
a chatterbox of a child and evolved into a quiet and shy teenager. I was definitely not the life of the party.
As a matter of fact, I never wanted to go to any high school dances or any activities the school offered. I
was good with being alone. I had to grow into my own and I eventually became the fun loving, open-
minded and creative person I am now. I love the ‘me’ I have become and I am grateful that this is where I
have landed.
Writing is my release and I have escaped in my imagination to some incredible places meeting the most
awesome characters. I also wanted to be a rock star but anyone who has ever heard me sing kindly
convinced me that I do not have any talent. (In other words, I suck at it.)
Although I have been writing since I was in grade school, and I am a hopeless romantic.
Why I write romance? I thrive on two individuals connecting in mind, body and soul. The understanding
of wants and needs and placing them as a priority and not out of fear of losing them or because you feel
you need to concede; you do it because it feels easy and right in your own heart.
My other passion is cooking! I enjoy making meals for my family and friends and bantering around the
table. I have colourful people in my life and they all add to my rainbow. I love music! I like it all,
depending on my mood.
And lastly, I love to travel. I want to enjoy all that life has to offer. I want to meet people, learn from them
and create the most fantastic, sexy love stories. If I can do this overlooking the ocean and feeling the
breeze wash over me then I have my heaven on earth.
Can
you, for those who don't know you already, tell something about
yourself and how you became an author?
I
have been writing since I was a young 12 year old girl and always
escaped into my imagination. Life gives you a voyage and you
ride the sea, going through all the tempest storms and then one
day I hit calm waters and I noticed that my writing just started
feeling right.
What
is something unique/quirky about you?
I
love to kickbox!
Tell
us something really interesting that's happened to you!
I
have a tendency of attracting very interesting people to me.
Grocery stores, vacations, funerals, really odd places.
Each person I meet leaves me with a gift of learning. Pretty
cool!
What
are some of your pet peeves?
My
worst pet peeve is false promises. I totally get that
circumstances change but keep me informed! Long lines, rudeness for
no apparent reason are a couple of others.
Where
were you born/grew up at?
Born
in a room my dad rented in a little town in Italy called Monte San
Giovanni Capagna by a midwife.
If
you knew you'd die tomorrow, how would you spend your last day?
I
would spend my day writing letters to everyone who meant
something to me. Yes, I could tell them all, but a letter
in my handwriting will never be forgotten and they will always have
it to look at and read when they needed me.
Who
is your hero and why?
SO
MANY. My parents for taking a risk and starting a life in
another country, alone with a baby. They ate, fought, slept and
loved. Always together.
What
kind of world ruler would you be?
A
Queen! With my amazing King! I want to be fair, just and give
hope.
What
are you passionate about these days?
My
grandchildren. Bettering the world for those to follow.
What
do you do to unwind and relax?
READ!
LOL! and watch movies with my hubby.
How
to find time to write as a parent?
Well
I am in the grandparent stage, however I am also part of the
sandwich generation where both my parents and kids and grandkids
need me. How do I manage? I carve out time and that is my time.
Describe
yourself in 5 words or less!
Relentless,
driven, loving, loyal and adventurous
When
did you first consider yourself a writer?
When
I took my first paperback out of the box and held it.
Do
you have a favorite movie?

Candles with Molly Ringwald
Which
of your novels can you imagine made into a movie?
Right
now I would say Reign of Pride.
As
a writer, what would you choose as your mascot/avatar/spirit
animal?
An
eagle would be my guide. Always looking from above leading me
where I need to be.
