Writing a Series…
I’m currently in the
middle of books 3 and 4 of my Desert Secrets Series has recently been
released. Books 1 and 2 have already been released.
When I
started the first book (Confessions) in the series I had no idea that I
would have four books planned out within a month of the contract for
Confessions being offered. Actually, I never wanted to do a series at
all, so how did this all come about?
I started writing
Confessions with only one sentence of an idea. The characters in the
book seemed to bloom rapidly and I became absorbed in every part of the
story. I had recently moved to Arizona when I had started writing
Confessions so everything was so new and wonderful. I had decided that
Confessions needed to take place in a small town for it to ring true and
then came the fictional town Wilson, Arizona. I had a blast researching
the small desert towns around here and even more fun making up the
shops in Wilson. I was hooked on the location from the start. I’v
recently found an actual town that reminds me of what I picture Wilson
being like, which excited me to no end.
Anyway, back to the
series… While writing Confessions, Chelsea’s sister ended up being such a
strong character that I had a hard time keeping her in the background
while Chelsea was living out her story. As soon as I started editing
Confessions, I knew Allison had to have her own book. Instead of doing
only a sequel, I decided at that point that I wanted to base a series
around Wilson, Arizona. Readers would have the chance to watch the lives
unfold of the beloved characters around the town.
I knew that
Allison’s story would be next and Miguel made a wonderful hero for her.
His confidence provided an excellent balance to her self-doubt. I had a
great time mixing Allison’s larger-than-life attitude with Miguel’s
respectful personality. The combination made for some steamy scenes and
awesome chemistry between the couple.
The next two books
planned in the series is Lost and Found with the best friend, Lisa
Palmer. The series wraps up with the Montgomery sister’s enemy, Bailey
Roan.
Books in the series:
Confessions
Midnight Secrets
Lost and Found (watch for a future release date)
Untitled
