Feeling nostalgic this morning, I thought about my book MARRIED TO MAGGIE and the characters I created -- Maggie Gray and Tysen Vincent. Something about those two clicked for me and so did the story that came together for them. My brain was on fire with the ton of conflict I threw at them. I smiled, laughed out loud, and admittedly gave into tears a time or two while writing their journey to happily-ever-after.
Because of the emotion Maggie and Ty evoked from me, I believe it also did the same for my readers. MARRIED TO MAGGIE became a best-seller in the romance category for a short time. I received a lot of amazing feedback, which gave me the confidence and courage to give the secondary characters their own stories.
Voila! My first series was born.
Kylee Steele and Quinn Randel became book two - KEEPING KYLEE
Tori Caye and Jake Garrison became book three - TAMING TORI
Nancy Reeger and Trigg Sinclair became four - NOT WITHOUT NANCY
Some folks absolutely love book series, some do not. With that in mind, I wrote each book as if it was also a standalone.
While it's been some time since I breathed life into these characters, they're still special to me.
If you'd like to get to know them, pop into Amazon and read a sample of each of their stories.
Thank you for sharing this nostalgic moment with me!
Have a great day!
Love,
Jan
