Where do I get the ideas for my stories?
Now there's a question with no single answer.
Ideas for my stories come from any number of places. Sometimes, I draw from places and events in my own life. In fact, I made the
Sherbrookes, the wealthy family featured in my series, from Newport because I
got married in one of the grand mansions down there and always wondered about
the people who originally built them.
Another example of when I pulled from my own life can be
seen in book 3, The Billionaire Princess. When I started that book, I had just
returned from a trip to Virginia Beach with my husband. Then I decided that I
wanted Sara and Christopher to go on a camping trip, and since Virginia Beach
was so fresh in my mind it made sense to send them there.
Other times, I get ideas from pictures. While writing book 4, The Billionaire's Best
Friend, I found a picture of a male fitness model that fit the way I pictured
the hero, Nate Callahan. Since the model
had a tattoo, I just had to give Nate one too.
