Marina Peters Author Interview

Too Deep In With The Auditor is an exciting story that turns an otherwise mundane job into a steamy romance novel? What was the inspiration for the setup to this provocative story?

I have been working for 20 years in the audit industry and had a passion for writing (there are other, non-fiction, books available from me) all the time. Now after 20 years I thought that it was the time to free from dust the profession of auditors. While some actions in the book are – naturally – a bit exaggerated, there are always true storys behind, that gave me the ideas.

I enjoyed the relationship between Martin and Ellis. What were some ideas you wanted to explore with their relationship?

I can let the cat out of the bag here: I have already laid the foundation for further books to come. I hope I can explore this relationship later on an make references to it.

You’re an Audit Director for a large auditing company. How has your professional experience informed your writing?

I am able to look back at all I have experienced and can use this to write Martin Muller’s story. I have so many ideas at the moment, which makes it – at least from that point of view – really easy to continue with the series.

What is the next book that you are working on and when will it be available?

If all goes well, it will be the next Martin Muller Audit. As I had another idea in the meantime I combined audit & steampunk & cruise and wrote a short story “A Steamy Steampunk Cruise” which tells about Monica Jackson, an auditor working on an audit assignment on a cruise ship. So, if you like Martin, she will definitely shorten the time until the next Martin Muller audit appears. This should happen this summer.
