Renewal Required by Mia Augustine

 Great stories matter. So does the freedom to tell them.

“Renewal Required”, a  contemporary romance, written by Mia Augustine, is part of the Summer Heatwave anthology, written by  eight talented, award-winning authors to benefit FIRE:The Foundation for Individual Rights and Free Expression.

About the story:“. . . we should start a movement—require renewal of marriage licenses. . .” So speaks Seattle based interior designer and home staging expert Magdalena Hartwell. Long time married to Maxamillian, they are empty nesters, after their son goes off to college and—surprise—is happy, healthy, and speaks to them on a regular basis. Point for their side. But there’s something off in paradise. And just maybe a monkey, in the form of local shock jock radio contest. And the fun—as well as a serious learning experience about themselves and the person they married—and the fun begins.

Our Review: Another terrific story by the ever-talented Mia Augustine. We have two long-time married professionals who seem to have lost that special something. Through a set of four challenges, flavored by fast-talking local DJs, Augustine shows her readers how two deserving people come together and suddenly recognize the why and how their life has turned upside down. All in front of watchful Seattle who is not afraid to share their opinions.

A hoot of a story on several levels.

Based on a scale of 1-5, Renewal Required merits a 7.
