This month the question is: what book (or type of book) are you currently working on? Do you have ideas for future books?
I
have just typed THE END on Book 3 in my Berkeley Square Regency romance series.
When I started writing Book 1, I had no idea that it would expand beyond that.
It wasn’t even Book 1 at that point, just an idea for a Regency romance that
wouldn’t go away, but that’s what happens when characters almost jump off the
page and demand their own books.
Okay,
okay. Not literally, of course. It’s just one of those quirky turns of phrase that writers tend to bandy about.
Non-writers just don’t get the concept of having people wandering around in
your head and whispering in your ear from the inside out. My heroine in Book 1,
His Dark Enchantress is Emmeline Devereux, whose best friend is Lady Juliana
Clifton. Juliana intruded so much while I was writing His Dark Enchantress that
I gave her a book of her own, Book 2, His Ocean Vixen.
Believing
I had done with those characters, I started thinking about what else I could
write, but a reader query asking if Lady Rosemary Darnley, the villainess in
Book 1, ever got her comeuppance, started me on another path which led to Book
3, His Unexpected Muse. This involves the unexpected (as the title suggests)
romance between Lady Olivia Darnley (Rosemary’s daughter) and Lord Peter
Skeffington, both characters from Book 1. You’ll have to read the book, which
will be launched next month, to find out what happens to Lady Darnley.
So
what comes next? I have an idea for a new series on Regency belles (hmm, now
that could work as a series title) and already have a rough outline for Book 1.
It will mean more research, but that is the part I really like. Plus, why let
all the research I have already done go to waste?
