Writers are always looking for inspiration; how to put a new twist
on an old topic, how to add the unexpected, put a lot of sparkle in what could
be just an okay story. I’ve always believed that to be a great writer, you have
to be a passionate reader, and that includes your own work! After publication
of Book One of The Accidental Series, Charlotte’s Restrained, The Accidental Stalker,
I realized that I had one character who, though a great contributor to
Charlotte’s story, was really quite unknown.
So, I looked at Kathleen as I would a person I’ve never really
gotten to know well. Why had Kathleen remained undeveloped? What wasn’t I
seeing? Was there something she was hiding? From there, Kathleen’s Undressed, The Accidental Enigma was born. In my coming
to understand Kathleen, I realized that I could create a character who still
meshed well with the intelligent, quick-witted, high-fashion, well-travelled,
group of women from book one – but I could make her so much more – give her
that sparkle, and add twists! So, she becomes an enigma. As book two unfolds,
readers quickly come to see that there is much more to Kathleen than Charlotte,
Tiziana, Hillary and Marian – her five closest friends – know. She has secrets,
some quite dark.
As for location, I write books that takes us travelling, help us
enjoy a side of life we might not get to otherwise know. Kathleen and cast are
a driven group of successful business women. Kathleen works for a well-known
company in Paris, The City of Lights, and is far enough up the ladder of
success to be invited to designer showing during Fall Fashion Week. What’s
better is that her friends join her for a week of food, fashion, and fun… just
as Kathleen meets a special someone.
Much like Charlotte’s
Restrained, this book is very much about the strong bond of friendship
between these five women. As in real life, there are highs and lows, love and
heartbreak, chipped nails and bad hair days, they just happen to take place in
some of the most glamorous settings in the world.
As an author, you get to steer your book in the direction of your
choice. I love strong, capable women, who make the lives they want happen. I
also love snappy, quick banter – sometimes snarky, sometimes loving, but
usually funny. So, come travel with me! We’ll laugh, we’ll cry, we’ll meet
women we wish were our friends, we’ll meet men swoon-worthy!
Book Blurb
In Book Two of the Accidental Series, the vivacious women from Charlotte’s Restrained join Kathleen in Paris, France for Fall Fashion Week! Pairing Prada with Armani, and Proenza Schuler with Betsy Johnson, playing dress-up with the most prestigious credit card in your purse is a whole lot of fun. Kathleen, Hillary, Marian, and Tiziana mingle with celebrities, royalty, and the fashion elite as they critique the next season’s collections.
