Rock the Boat

Y’all, I wrote another book.

Jake’s story was SUCH a long time coming. I feel I owe this sailor an apology. When I started the Ballard Brothers, he was the one I really wanted to get to — I was in love with him, and the idea of him sitting on his boat docked in the Darling Bay marina, waiting for love.

But I got busy writing other things, and other genres trumped romance for a while.

Now he has his story, and his happily ever after. It’s funny to come to a book with the male half being the important one, at first. I usually start with my female characters. So for Jake, I had to think of someone smart enough and strong enough to be a good foil for him, but also someone grounded enough to provide him with the roots he’d always lacked.

Zora is that character. I love her passion for gardening, and for the kids she teaches, and most of all, her inability to zip it when other people might keep quiet. She says what she means, kindly, but without apology. I love that in a woman.

I hope you enjoy the story. I know I enjoyed writing it (no, THAT IS A LIE. It was a struggle to write. Some books come easy, some come kicking me in the face all the way through. But the revision was smooth sailing because then I knew what their story had to be).

Viva love!
