About Year of the Dog : A month or two ago, I remembered an old manuscript I had completed but which hadn’t sold. It was a contemporary romance meant for Zondervan, titled Year of the Dog . The book had gone into the pipeline and I even got another title ( Bad Dog ) and a cover for it, but eventually my editor at the time decided she didn’t want to publish it, for various reasons. She instead requested a romantic suspense, and so I cannibalized some of the characters from Year of the Dog and thrust them into the next book I wrote, which was Protection for Hire . Honestly, I didn’t take a lot from Year of the Dog to put in Protection for Hire , aside from character names and a few relationship ties. I was originally thinking I’d post Year of the Dog as-is on my blog as a free read, but then it occurred to me that I could revamp it into a romantic suspense and change the setting to Hawaii. It would work out perfectly as (yet another) prequel to the Warubozu series and introduce
Keeping in mind that my memory isn't that great since it has been awhile since I read these books, here we go.... I was thinking that Steve Thompson from Narrow Escape might spend some quality time with either Alicia or Elizabeth from the Protection for Hire series. Tessa could also make an appearance. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe my comment didn't post and I didn't notice until now! What I said was that unfortunately I can't give have my Protection for Hire crew in my Love Inspired Suspense noels because of contractual issues, but I can definitely keep Steve in mind for a book! Thanks!
