What I Loved About Writing Sweet Surprise
When you get to the fourth or fifth book in a series it can be easy to get burned out. Or so I’ve been told. Each book in the Sweet, Texas series has been completely different for me, and after I’ve finished each one I’ve always been anxious to get right back to the Wilder family and that magical little town in the Texas Hill Country.
Writing Sweet Surprise was extra special because Fiona Wilder—a single mom—finally got her own story. For me, it was difficult to watch her through the previous books because as the ex-wife of Jackson Wilder she had to sit by and watch everyone else get their happy ever afters—including her ex husband. Even though she and Jackson have a great, warm, and loving relationship as exes, I kept thinking it still had to be hard when you were the one who always had to go home to a cold, empty bed. Fiona didn’t feel that way though. She never slighted Jackson or his new wife because she knew they were really meant to be together. Still, it was a blast for me to help her find the path to happiness although it wasn’t an easy one. Fiona doubted herself every step of the way. But each rocky step was worth the doubt. Because she was rewarded tenfold with a hero who was perfect for her in every way. Fireman Mike Halsey is truly a man she will be able to love and count on even when she’s old and gray.
In real life we don’t always get to see someone find their perfect mate let alone live happily ever after with them. I was overjoyed to help Fiona find the love of her life.
Question . . . when you read a book, is there usually one bullet-point moment or emotion that you take away from the story?
