After many rejections, from publishers, I decided to write the book I wanted and
not the book I thought publishers wanted. Keeping in mind this was just before
the βexplosionβ of e-books and self publishing. It was a dangerous decision
because I had no idea what I was going to do with the book once Iβd finished it.
Against good advice from a prolific, multi-published author in the romance
writing industry, I went ahead and created Alex Jackson, a super star who can
sing and tap-dance.
My heroine, in
KISSES UNDER
THE SPOTLIGHT, had a best friend and I just loved writing the book. In the
final wedding scene, I couldnβt let the BFF go. She had to have her own story so
I wrote,
WANTING MR RIGHT.
I now had two books I loved, with two BFFs. Perfect.
But then one day when coming home from my corporate job I thought about a
character in the first book and wondered what happened to her. Sandwiched
between commuters, I sketched my ideas for a third book, which became
TOGETHER AT LAST.
I now had three books and was very happy with them. And then it was suggested I
write a story about the BFF in
TOGETHER AT LAST.
And thatβs how my one-standalone book became a four book series. Even though
each book can be read on its own, theyβre linked by my superstar, Alex Jackson.
Iβm very excited with the launch of
FOREVER MINE which is the
4th book in the Alex Jackson series as I had so much fun writing it.
I love reading series, especially when you get to see couples from previous
books enjoying their Happily Ever Afters. Do you enjoy a good series? Do you
read them?
