What's Next? You Tell Me

I'm happily working my way through Second Thoughts, which is the light, funny story of a personal assistant (Phoenix) and a movie star (Harper, introduced in my last book). I hope to have it for you in November if all goes according to plan. 

The thing that's a little odd is that, for the first time in my seven-year career, I don't know what I want to write next.

I'm very much a "write what inspires me" author. It just doesn't work for me to randomly plan ahead to write a certain character at a certain time. I need to have that spark, that "a-ha moment" where the next story clicks into place for me.

That's why it took me ages to write Gabriel's story. I had to wait for it to click, which it finally did when one of my readers gave me a great idea for his love interest (the result of that is Second Nature, my most recent release).

So, if there's a story/character/couple you've been wishing for, now is a really good time to throw it at me. You never know what might be the thing that makes me shout, "Yes! That's my next book!"
