So let's see. There are two main reasons why BED OF FLOWERS ends the way it does.

The first is that it ends in a way that I find realistic--I think that a golden boy like Charles Gavin, who has wealth, influence, and maleness on his side, would be able to make the town see things his way. I think that families schism over smaller transgressions every day; Bonny's father's whole identity was tied up in his company and Loel literally burned it to the ground. That's a lot to forgive, especially at Mr. Reed's age. And I could go on, person by person.

But there's another, more important reason. Bonny and Loel aren't fighters. They don't have a cause bigger than themselves. They're good people who do the right thing when pressed, even if it causes them pain--that's admirable. It's a lot better than nothing and they deserve to be happy. But they're not lifting a shield for anyone else. Bonny pulls a few people into her circle, but it's a small circle.

It'll be more obvious once Cordelia's story is done--because Cordelia IS a fighter. She picks tougher battles and so she'll win a different kind of victory.

The romances in this series will remain completely distinct, but I'm thinking of the characters (and themes) more as a whole. I'm hoping the HEAs will resonate with one another in an interesting way. And the protagonists won't just fall away--you'll see more of Bonny and Loel, so their story isn't completely over. (less)

Wow, I only just now saw this question... sorry for the (really abysmally slow) response.

The answer is YES I am working on a new series, I've plotted a series arc I'm excited about, and the first book is almost done. I don't have a release date and I won't until I've got my production schedule set up, but I'm hoping to have it out by the end of the year.

And yikes, apologies again for being slow. (less)

Taking a Break

I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while, and putting it off so so long that re-writing the task every day in my planner finally annoyed me enough to make a start.

The long and short of it is: I am not currently working on a historical romance. I’m not currently writing for publication at all.

My ‘break’ started a while ago, which means I’ve had a lot of time to think about the decision. Do

Perfect book club book, because:
-I never would have picked it up on my own
-If I had, the torture and gore would have made me put it down pretty quickly
-But then I ended up really enjoying it, and finding it pretty fun.

Look, I hate Christmas and this

“I disappeared inside my love of him. I lost myself to it, and I didn’t want to come back.”

“And now?”

“I feel like a part of me has died.”
Erin Satie, The Secret Heart

“Breakfast was all about possibilities. No other meal allowed for so much choice—sweet or savory, light or heavy? Tea or coffee? And while enjoying the fruit of these decisions, the whole day waited, unsullied, to be filled up like a plate.”
Erin Satie, The Secret Heart

“Endurance isn’t victory. It’s just a very slow, very painful way to lose.”
Erin Satie, The Secret Heart
