Release Day Blitz for Tease by Missy Johnson

Male escort.

That got your attention.

Some of the most powerful and well known women in the country pay to have sex with me, some of them married. Some are into more than just straight sex, which is why they call me. Bondage, power play, submission…nothing is off the table. I will do anything for the right price.

The stories I could tell you about a certain high profile congresswoman, or that innocent blonde actress. Trust me, she’s not so innocent.

Guys would kill for my job. I’m living the fucking dream. Meaningless sex, no relationship hang-ups and I’m rolling in the dough. Life is perfect, just the way it is.

Until I meet her.

She changes everything.

She makes me want more than I’ve ever wanted for myself and she believes in me. But she also thinks I sell insurance. I can’t stop what I do, but I can’t give her up.

Eventually, my two worlds are going to collide and when they do, shit will hit the fan.



Missy lives in a small town in Central Victoria with her husband, and her confused pets (a dog who think she's a cat, a cat who thinks he's a dog...you get the picture).

When she's not writing, she can usually be found looking for something to read.

Interview Questions

1.            What inspired you to write So Many Reasons Why?
            I've always enjoyed writing, and over recent years I have found writing everyday really helpful in dealing with my depression. I wanted to write a story that was not only enjoyable to read, but also dealt with some real issues.

2.        What was the best thing about creating the character of Emma?
        I loved creating Emma. I wanted a character who although had her issues, was strong and could still    laugh at life. The best thing for me was exploring her feelings for Simon.

3.     . Did you do any research before beginning to write?
     Many of my books incorporate some aspect of crime or justice, so there is research involved in tha

  How much of your inspiration comes from life and people around you?
           My mother pointed out after reading So Many Reasons Why that she can see parts of me in Emma, so I guess I do use people and experiences from my life in my stories. 

5.       There are several issues raised in this book. Was this deliberate or did the story evolve this way?
              From the beginning, I wanted to explore falling in love and dealing with life from an agoraphobic’s point of view, so it was always deliberate that Emma would suffer from it. As the story developed, so did some of the other issues (I won’t mention what they are so as not to ruin the story).
Book two, which will be released in May will further explore these issues, and Emma's struggle with overcoming agoraphobia. 
6.     How can Australians get a copy of your book?
             The book is available from Amazon, kobo and will also be available through my Facebook page in print form from early April
7.      What advice do you have for aspiring writers or artists?
               My biggest piece of advice would be don’t give up. Keep writing, and write the type of story you   would want to read.
There are plenty of wonderful writing groups out there too which can be a great way to improve your writing.

8.      What is your favourite book?
 The girl In Times Square has long been a favourite book of mine, and one I always come back to when I need a good read. Some of my recent favourites include Ten Tiny Breaths, by K.A Tucker, Easy, by Tammara Webber, and Slammed, by Colleen Hoover.

Book Review - So Many Reasons Why (So Many Reasons, #1) by Missy Johnson

 My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really liked this book. It has banter, Chemistry between a Student/Teacher , and a little drama all mixed in .

We meet 20 yr old Emma in the beginning , she is a college student who takes all of her class’ online and talks to her teachers/ professors through email. She was attacked when she was 10 yrs old and because of that she has developed a case of agoraphobia and has nightmares still 10 yrs later. Her parents are not your typical parents and they truly don’t understand how she feels fully. She does have 2 of the greatest best friends and they are a great support system for her. In the first few chapters we learn that her attacker is going to be released for parole and she becomes even more panicked then she was.

Emma sends out an email to her new professor to confirm some info on her assignment and she soon find herself having playful and back and forth banter with her professor Simon. Simon is a Part time Professor who is also the Assistant DA. I loved how he was an older man and not just another young guy in a book.

They go back and forth in email for some time and they both start to have feelings for each other. She starts to open up to Simon about herself and Simon starts to develop strong feelings for her as well. Can Simon help Emma to get over her suffering of panic attacks, and her agoraphobia ??

The relationship that develops between these two is great. The way the story flows and is written based on the fact that Emma does not leave the house is even better. There are a couple twists and turns and you will be surprised by them without a doubt. There is a kinda cliffhanger , but not one that makes you SCREAM I want MORE RIGHT NOW…. It just leaves you wanting to see how everything turns out for these two great people. I am looking forward to reading book 2 when it comes out.

Book Blurb:
Twenty year old Emma hasn’t left the house since she was attacked as a child. Now, with the impending release of her attacker from prison, Emma knows it’s more important than ever for her to regain control of her life. From her unrelenting nightmares, to her strained relationships, to her crippling agoraphobia, Emma feels as though her life is spiraling out of control.

When her professor, Simon Anderson enters her life, Emma must deal with feelings she has never experienced before.

Though both she and Simon know their relationship is bordering on inappropriate, neither of them are able to ignore the intense chemistry that is quickly developing between them.

What was supposed to keep her mind off the attack has left her more confused than ever. When there are so many reasons why you shouldn’t be together, is simply being in love really enough?
