Kaia Misk and The Firstborn Son
Author Kaia Misk with her novel The Firstborn Son and a bottle of Barolo Galina by Crissante Alessandria
About the Book: Becoming a ruthless mob boss like his father is the last thing Frankie wants, but when Sofia’s father is gunned down, Frankie must become the very thing he loathes to protect the woman he loves. Sofia was a devoted girlfriend to Frankie until he stood her up, and she questioned his fidelity. Now that she’s alone and rich, mafia suitors slither around her. Marriage to him might be her only hope. They try to rekindle their love amidst a mob war. But can a hasty marriage withstand what the Mafia has in store?
About the Beverage: Kaia recommends pairing THE FIRSTBORN SON with a bottle of Barolo Galina by Crissante Alessandria because “it’s a fine wine from Northern Italy where many people had blue eyes and dark hair, like Sofia in The Firstborn Son and my grandfather.”
About the Author: Kaia Misk is a native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, otherwise known as a “Yinzer.” Her parents grew up across the street from each other in a small town where most people worked in the steel mills. Their Italian and Slovak families were a strong part of her childhood, which included food, holidays, and religion. Several of her characters are based on her family members and other Pittsburghers.
Kaia has a background in legal and technical writing, including training manuals, training presentations, and legal documents. She is also an excellent tailor and patternmaker, although she spent many years as a legal secretary and paralegal.
She is particularly inspired by the Hat Squad books of Karen Rose and Joe Lansdale’s novels. David Rosenfelt’s Andy Carpenter Series is also a favorite. Her first love was Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky. She follows numerous authors and reads every day. She currently lives in suburban Pittsburgh with her Norwegian Elkhound, Boss.
