I finished writing Sushi and Suspicions and turned it in! To celebrate, I ate my favorite peach jelly from Minamoto Kichoan ! I was a bit surprised to realize at the end of the book that there wasn’t as much romance as in some of my other books, maybe because there were a lot of characters in this book compared to other romantic suspense novels I’ve written. Sushi and Suspicions will be releasing in June in the multi-author box set Summer Suspicions . Even though it’s a box set, each Christian Romantic Suspense novel in it is a full book, so it’s a great deal! Preorder Summer Suspicions for only 99 cents!
I know that sounds weird, but think about it: Burger King rolled out some new menu items that are a lot like McDonald’s because surveys showed that consumers wanted items similar to McDonald’s.
When the Chick Lit and Amish genres were peaking, publishers put out their own books in those genres because readers wanted more than just one or two Chick Lit or Amish authors to read/devour.
I see nothing wrong with BK (and publishers) running with their own similar versions of items that have proven to be popular. It means that if I’m traveling and need to stop in fast food, if there’s a BK nearby, I’ll stop since I know their menu will have what I want. Similarly, when I want to read something Amish, I’m not limited to just Beverly Lewis—there are lots of other Amish books to choose from.
