I recently posted about conversations I have with my characters and that sometimes, (who am I kidding – MOST OF THE TIME) they get their own way. I was happy to oblige Dutchy and ultimately, I know that the story for Blackstone Ranger Guardian turned out so much better than I originally thought.
But what about when your characters threatened to MURDER YOU?
YEP.
And of course, it was J.D. McNamara. Here’s how that conversation went:
Me, after finishing Chief (flexing my fingers): The End! Ah! Another series started and four more books to go!
A voice: Five.
Me: Excuse me? (looks around)
Voice: You have FIVE more books to write in this series.
Me: Who said that?
JD (jumps out of the laptop): FIVE MORE! You have to write MY book in this series!
Me: Whoa where did you come from? And what do you mean I have to write your book! You’re a plot device!
JD: Listen to me, you $#%@*& writer! You’re going to write my book, or else! (Flashes her claws and teeth)
Me: (slowly backing away from the laptop) Uh … all right.
JD: Good! Oh and make sure it’s a Christmas one.
D: Yeah, I love Christmas!
Me: You do? You never told me that!!
And that’s how Blackstone Ranger Scrooge came to be!
Since it’s almost Christmas, why not go ahead and give it a re-read on Kindle Unlimited (or get your own copy?)
