Katie has been through Hell—literally—and discovered that it wasn’t as bad as she thought it would be. In fact, she kind of enjoyed it. She got to be with Josh, found out about her past, and discovered who she wanted to be as a person. Katie didn’t care that her actions went against social norms. She was happy.
But things are changing—again. Wes has come back into her life, and that can only mean trouble. His presence threatens to unravel her new-found happiness. She can’t allow that. She won’t let him back in. Yet, Katie can’t push him away.
Thrown back into a state of confusion and uncertainty, Katie is once again forced to pick sides, and in the process, she may lose herself.

GUEST POST
The Joy and Agony Of Writing a Series
by
Pembroke Sinclair
I enjoy book series. As an author, I
appreciate and enjoy that readers get lost in my series. I love that they are
invested in my characters and can’t get enough of their adventures. It makes me
happy that they anxiously await the next book.
Writing a series can be a magical and
wonderful experience. I enjoy that the world is already set up and that the
characters are already established. I don’t have to strain my brain coming up
with new ideas, I can expand on ones that already exist.
The thing that (I hope) makes my series
so wonderful is that I have fun writing it. I enjoy being in that world just
like you do, but at times, it gets tedious. Sometimes it isn’t fun anymore.
When this happens, I have to walk away. I have to work on something else. I have
to take a break.
Writing a series can get incredibly
exhausting. I have to spend a lot of time in this world and with these
characters. I’m there for months or years, and I know waaaaay more about what
happens than what is on the page. My brain is full of elaborate back stories. I
know minute details about the characters’ lives and the history of the world.
Sometimes these details are written down so they aren’t forgotten, but they
aren’t ever part of the final story.
Keeping track of all this gets tough.
And sometimes the characters don’t cooperate. Some days they don’t want to tell
me their stories, or I get bored listening to them. Spending too much time with
characters is like spending too much time with real people. We get tired of
each other. There is some truth to the phrase “Absence makes the heart grow
fonder,” even with fictional people.
There’s also the added pressure of
making sure the next book lives up to readers’ expectations. I want to make
sure the details are just right, that I’m staying true to what was written
before, and sometimes that means going back and rereading the previous books in
the series.
There’s a need to get the book out in a timely fashion so that interest isn’t lost. Nerves
get frazzled when I feel like I’m falling behind—even when I don’t have a
deadline. When this happens, it makes it
hard to continue to write. It becomes
difficult to overcome the fear that I’m going to fail, that people are going to
be angry with the book.
There’s a moment when I just want to
scream and tear my hair out, but then I take a deep breath and step back. I remind myself that this is supposed to be
fun. And if I’m not having fun, then
it’s not worth doing.
