Katie (Jill) Etherington and Mark (Kelly) Etherington are a married couple who decided to write a book together on a dare.

The story goes that they were on a much-needed vacation, sipping on some Miami Vices on a Bahamian beach, while Katie was ensconced in her personal vice – the romance novel. After many hours of reading she put down the book, looked over at her husband and openly questioned why romance novels were so often about 20-year-old freshmen / former ballerinas that fall desperately in love with the dark, mysterious man on campus.

Katie meant it as a rhetorical question, but Mark responded nonetheless and asked her, “Okay, if you were to write a romance novel what would YOU write about then?”

Well, if you have read The Fire Down Below, you already know the answer!

The journey to write The Fire Down Below could be a book unto itself! Mark and Katie are both conservative business professionals in banking and investments in Toronto, so writing a steamy romance novel together was a surprise to them – as well as their friends and family

However, their backgrounds (and the fact they wrote it together) is the secret ingredient that makes this book so enjoyable!
