THOUGHTS FROM SEP:
Oh, I do love writing those characters’ names! It’s been ages since I’ve talked to readers about LADY BE GOOD and¾how do I say this modestly?¾I adore this book.
Lady Emma Wells-Finch, the proper headmistress of a British boarding school, arrives in Texas on a mission. To lose her reputation. Who does she meet up with but PGA pro Kenny Traveler? (One of my all time favorite jock heroes.) Kenny’s been suspended from the pro tour for bad behavior, and the only way he can get his suspension lifted is to be very, very good. (Maybe it doesn’t speak well of me as a person, but I love torturing my characters this way.)
Although every one of my books stands alone, I know readers will enjoy CALL ME IRRESISTIBLE that much more if they also pick up LADY BE GOOD. You’ll get to see Ted Beaudine, the hero of IRRESISTIBLE, as a hunky new college graduate and maybe understand why readers demanded he have his own book. (It only took me ten years to figure out how to write it.) I loved bringing Emma and Kenny back and seeing what they’ve been up to.
I also, as many of you have undoubtedly figured out, love writing about Texas. No offense to my Lone Star friends, but that state is a writer’s dream. You can make any dang fool thing happen in Texas and readers will believe it. Thank you Sam Houston and all your fine descendents.
Which brings me to my question… What’s your favorite setting and time period? Are you a Regency England kind of person? Do you love those small Midwestern towns? Or do you have big city Manhattan dreams? Tell all.
