Brief overview of the Fire Series by S. A. Crow
The Fire Series by S. A. Crow is a nine-book series following a group of friends starting with the first novel Into the Fire where we are introduced to the core couple of the friends Travis and Raven. Tony left in the first novel to help his old Navy CO Admiral Haun when his daughter is kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend in The Fire Inside, we find Anna and Tony and his friends attempt to keep her safe from a deeper danger. Home Fires was a free novella offered to newsletter subscribers and is Travis and Raven’s story between The Fire Inside and If the Seas Catch Fire book three.
Setting the stage for "If the Seas Catch Fire" as the highly anticipated third book
If the Seas Catch Fire, we explore the anticipated relationship between Steve and Mallory. They’ve been flirting with each other since Raven met Travis and much hilarity has ensued at their expense. In this novel I’ve worked with the themes of the toxic side of the #metoo movement and subverting the toxic trope that only women crave a deeper relationship.
Introducing Steve as the intriguing male lead who will captivate readers
Steve starts If the Seas Catch Fire wanting to have a meaningful relationship with Mallory. He’s in a good place in his life, career, and hobbies. Hell, he was asked to be the speech writer for a local deputy mayor candite. He’s fascinated with Mallory’s personality, drive, and sense of humor.
Unveiling Steve's Background and Personality
Steve is the clown of friends or one of them I should say. He uses his humor to deflect from people learning too much about him. He moved to Los Angeles, CA to be an actor but found that kind of stage wasn’t for him when he and Travis tried out for the same part. They became fast friends and couch surfed each other’s couches in the early years while Travis started his acting career and Steve worked on becoming a freelance journalist. While living out of each other's pockets they found their shared love of music and with the addition of Mike their drummer they formed the rock country fusion band Home. The series opens with Home, an established band stationed in Seattle, Washington.
His physical appearance and distinctive features
Steve looks a lot like the actor Ryan Reynolds. Tall with brown hair sun bleached by the summer sun when he’s on his sailboat. Laugh lines crinkle the corner of his eyes to match the smile lines on either side of his mouth. C. Exploring Steve's personality traits and highlighting his strengths and flaws
