When I finished writing Match Me, I was bummed when the story was over. Not Paul and Bonnie's story; although some people begged to know what happened next, I was very comfortable leaving that up to people's imaginations (including my own).
No, I was bummed because I wanted to see what happened to Jill, Bonnie's best friend. She was such a strong character and I wanted the chance to see her develop, to see how she handled love. And, I'll admit, I really wanted to find out more about Domenico, her date from the Match Me dating service.
Jill's was a fun story to write. She's strong and fiercely independent -- but she's not as strong as she thinks. And when Domenico becomes a little too important to her, a little too central to her life, she has to decide just how dependent she's willing to be on someone other than herself.
Love Me, Jill's story, is coming soon. And I can't wait to share it.
Hi! Just finished Match Me and loved it! Your characterization is so real it makes it so easy to read and believe!
ReplyDeleteI'm an audiobook narrator and wondered if you ever thought about this avenue for your novellas. Is there an email address where I can reach you?
