Welcome back to my blog, Brooke. Your
books are full of humor. That’s what I love about them. Please
tell us about your new book, After the
Final Dandelion.
This book is the
third in the Dandelion series. It can be read alone, but it’s probably more fun
to read the other two books first. In the first book, we follow the story of
one couple. In the second, another couple. In this book, we get to see what
happens to both couples and there’s even a wedding. I won’t go into details,
but like in the other two books, nothing goes right…in a hilarious way!
This is a series of books called The Dandelion Series. What got your
interest in having a dating show for your storyline?
I really enjoy The
Bachelor TV show and I’ve often wondered what the show would be like if someone
like me was on it. Someone who doesn’t do things quite right…ever. Someone who
doesn’t like dressing up and wearing makeup. Someone who speaks her mind
instead of trying to fit in. So the storyline is based on that idea. A local
version of the Bachelor TV show with down to earth people who mess up…a lot!
This third book is about the two contestants
and what happens after they fall in love. What made you decide to do a follow
up on the last two ladies?
When I wrote the first book, “Accept this Dandelion,” I had
NO idea it would turn into a series. When it was complete, one of the
contestants started to bug me about writing HER love story. So then came the
second book. After that, I started having wedding ideas and I had to form them
into a book. These were the perfect characters to work with. They were already
in love and ready to roll!
Do you consider your female characters to be
strong and determined or meek yet spirited?
I’d say mostly
strong, determined and spirited. At least where Renee Lockhart is concerned.
Eva is a little more meek, but still has plenty of determination as well. I
often write stubborn female characters who know what they want, but aren’t sure
how to get it.
