I never thought I’d be a series writer. Do you know how much pressure there is on
writing a second book in a line? A lot. When I wrote Midwife to Destiny I
thought it would be a single book. And then my editor casually mentioned that I
should think about a second book.
Of course once planted, the idea sprouted and then grew. I
ended up with the tree of Destiny Mine. The story of Ora’s cousin, Esi. She was
so much fun to write in Midwife to Destiny. Spunky, adventuresome, and a tad
bit over the top. I paired her with Adam, Jason’s best friend. Adam is an alpha
to the core. Worse, he can’t stand being involved in relationships, in other
words he’s a player.
When I put these two characters together there were
fireworks. Enough for me to leave the sweet subgenre of romance and venture
into opening the door to the bedroom.
Writing the Destiny Series was one of the best things I’ve ever done and I’m glad I didn’t let fear
of being a flop stop me. In fact it spurred me on.The third in the series,
Entwined Destiny, is due to hit the bookstores soon. So keep a look out.
Are you a series writer?
Did you start the book knowing you would be?
