9. What inspired you to write The Marine’s Secret Daughter?
The characters made me do it! J I used to belong to a small in-person group of writers. We’d meet every month and do writing prompts. One prompt (A friend calls and asks for help, no questions asked) resulted in a character named Riley, who came to the rescue of his best friend’s sister. That character stayed in my head and evolved until I had to write his story.

She has his eyes. Her mother has his
heart.
Years have passed since marine sergeant Riley Cooper last held his best
friend’s sister in his arms. Bound for Afghanistan, he believed walking away
from Meg McBride was the kindest thing he could do. Now that he’s home, he
doesn’t blame Meggie for hating him. But she hasn’t told him everything. And he
hasn’t met the little red-haired girl whose gray eyes so resemble his own…

A trip to Italy is definitely on my list and that will include Tuscany!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Sue! There's something dreamy and old world about Italy that appeals to me.
DeleteHow old are Ping and Mushu?
ReplyDeleteWhat's your favorite BBC crime drama? We have a lot of Poirot fans in my house.
ReplyDeleteI love Poirot too, but my all time favorite is Inspector Lewis. I love the banter between Lewis & Hathaway. I can watch those over and over. I'm also a big fan of Vera. Brenda Blethyn is wonderful as Vera Stanhope.
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
Oh my! Carrie I really hope you get to go to Tuscany! We went about 10 years ago and it was incredible! Looking forward to reading your book!

DeleteI really enjoyed the Marine's Secret Daughter! What's next for you?
ReplyDeleteDianne, thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the book. Next up is a story for Entangled Bliss about a sexy single dad sheriff hoping to convince a wary police widow to take another chance on love with a lawman. I'm hoping it will be released in the fall. The working title is The Sheriff's Little Matchmaker.
