I’ve written thirty-seven published books. Yet, every single book is different. Some books seem to practically write themselves. In other books, the characters are shy and need a bit of coaxing before I fully get them and essential elements of their story line come together. Zarina Michaels, of When It Comes to You, has turned out to be one of those elusive, enigmatic characters for me. She’s been hurt and has a lot of layers—some of which reveal themselves the more I write her story.
I’m loving each and every surprise discovery and element of the story. Moments that make me cry or laugh or just want to dig even deeper into her and Dre’s story. But I’ve had to come to the hard realization that Dre and Zarina’s story refuses to be rushed. So When It Comes to You won’t be released next week. It’ll be coming out this fall instead. Stay tuned for the exact date.
If you pre-ordered Dre & Zarina’s book, I truly appreciate your support and eagerness to read their story. But you’ll have to wait a little longer. All pre-orders have been canceled. So I hope you’ll grab the book when it becomes available for purchase this fall in e-book and paperback.
In the meantime, if you’re new to me, you’ll find my full backlist of books here. And if you haven’t read my fr33 novella, Made for Me—also set in the Love & Music Suite universe—you can download that here.
Now, I’d love to hear how your summer is going. Drop me a line and let me know here.
