Late Night with Andres is the latest work from author Debra Anastasia, an author I truly adore.  Well, Debra has done it again.  Her wit and fun personality shine through in this story and these characters!Milla Keirce is a rising star in the blogging world and is beyond thrilled to have an appearance on a late night TV show.  Getting ready in the green room, and appreciating the muffins in her welcome basket, she is horrified to hear gunshots down the hallway and inching closer to where she is.  So when the door bursts open, she was expecting a gunman, not rock star Gage Daxson.  Her star struck awe is short lived however.  The gunman has reached them and now they must work together to survive this almost certainly un-survivable situation.Don't let the length of this novella fool you.  For a short story, there is plenty of action, emotion and humor packed in.  The intensity of the situation is brilliantly offset with dark humor from Milla and I loved it!  Milla realizes she's screwed but refuses to go down without a fight.  Figuring she has nothing left to lose, she won't give the shooter the satisfaction of keeping quiet.  She has every intention to tell him exactly what she thinks of him and his actions, consequences be damned.  Daxson, bless him, is amazing through the whole ordeal and had hero written all over him from the minute he burst through the greenroom door.  I have to go back to the humor for a minute though.  Debra did such an amazing job with Milla and her unexpected humor was just perfect.  I freaking laughed out loud too many times to count!One of the things I liked best about this story was that Debra wrote it in small pieces of each person's experience through the debacle.  We saw it from Andre's, Milla's and Daxson's point of views and that made it all the more exciting. Oh, and the relationship that developed between Daxson and Milla? Loved it!So go out and by this funny and intense novella, because not only is it a great one-sitting-read, all of the proceeds go to fighting breast cancer.  Yep, two great reasons to enjoy it.Thank you, Debra! I've missed reading you!
