If You Loved Me – IDEAS, from SPARK to FICTION

IF YOU LOVED ME - IDEAS, from SPARK to FICTION

Where do I get my ideas?

I first got the idea for Emma, the heroine of my novel IF YOU LOVED ME while searching for a heroine for the “other man” in my novel CATALINA’S LOVER. I was fascinated by the story possibilities of Ricardo’s origins as the son of a turbulent multi-cultural marriage and his career as an archeologist. But when I created Emma as his hero, the requisite spark didn’t happen in my brain, and those two characters’ relationship ended before it began. But I’d given birth to Emma, and she wouldn’t leave me alone. Watch the video to see how a brainstorming session sparked the events that sent my heroine into the wilderness searching for her son – and finding love in the last place she’d ever expect.

I hope you enjoy watching this video, and if you do, I’d love it if you’d subscribe to my YouTube channel and share the video with others. A “like” would come in handy as well.
