If you read Heather’s post last week, you know that Mother
Nature’s been taking her own sweet time moving spring into the Warwick Valley.
While the snow melted fairly quickly, the temperatures aren’t moving in the right direction. We’re all hoping spring will make an appearance before too much longer. Thank goodness I don’t have to wait on Mother Nature for my book ideas!
The truth is I get ideas for stories everywhere—books,
movies, song lyrics, television shows, people watching, dreams. It’s amazing
how one tiny thought can spark the idea for an entire book or series.
My problem isn’t getting ideas. My problem is deciding which
ones to turn into books, and once I’ve decided, sticking with the project until
the end. I tend to suffer from shiny object syndrome. I’ll start working on one
project and then…squirrel!!
Some other couple is begging me to drop everything and tell
their story. It’s hard telling them no, but I’ve learned from experience that
if I start a new story every time a fresh idea springs to mind, I’d never
finish anything.
The good news for my readers is that this means I’ll have
plenty of books in the works for years to come!
And speaking of good news…if you haven’t had a chance to grab Christmas with the Billionaire, the first book in my Holiday Encounters series, you’re in luck! It'll be free on Amazon from April 12-16.
Find it here: Christmas with the Billionaire
Happy Reading!
