My Inspiration for A Sandcastle Christmas
My inspiration for this series sprang out of the very first
novel, BAD MEDICINE. Readers fell in love with my hero, Rafael, which was
gratifying, since I adore him too. I immediately received requests…no, demands…that
I write about Zach, the very nice ‘other’ guy. So I wrote BAD KARMA, which has
not one, but 2 romances and a healthy dose of suspense with a stalker and a
hurricane. By then, I was totally caught up with all the characters and with
this setting (a real place where I often used to sail), so I threw them into
more trouble in BAD VIBES, with human traffickers and a hot new federal agent
to keep Darla on her toes.
A SANDCASTLE CHRISTMAS is set on the semi-tropical south
Texas coast, where you can enjoy a temperate climate. No dashing through the
snow at South Padre Island. No building a snowman in Port Isabel. But there is
a chill in the air when the wind blasts off the bay. The shrimpers and
fishermen have pulled into port until the weather is warmer. But murder doesn’t
take a holiday, so the sheriff and his gang continue to keep the peace and
bring evil-doers to justice, while trying to have a joyful holiday with the
ones they love. Lots of fun as all the characters sort out the holiday tension
and family friction. BTW: Germaine gets a new girlfriend and Rafael and Chloe
find an abandoned infant. In the spirit of the holiday, I only killed 4 people.
Merry Christmas…Ho Ho Ho…

lol cute post JD. Cutting back on murders for the holidays eh? I wish you great success.
So, typed one of your raving fans: your a master with dialogue - the back-and-forth conversations between all of your characters are so true to life - I can hear them teasing each other or, on the flip side, getting pissed off. The pacing in Sandcastle is "tight" - there's a wonderful flow for the reader as the different story lines ebb and flow much like the tides that smack South Padre Island. Really masterfully written - the "structure" is so beautifully buried in the story line that it "reads like silk draping across bare skin."
Hm. Better make that "you're a master with dialogue..." lol
"In the spirit of the holiday, I only killed 4 people. Merry Christmas…Ho Ho Ho…" Bwahahaha! Well, I'm in the holiday mood now, thanks ;-)
Hi Kaye...Yeah, I tried to hold myself back. I guess I was feeling mellow when I wrote Sandcastle. (big grin here)
Thanks so much, Rose. Yeah, I put myself on a murder diet for this book. Thank heavens that's over and I can get back to my usual style. hehehehe.
Thanks so much, Kathy. You're the reason I keep writing. Pleasing my readers is very important to me. As a writer, I know what I'm trying to put out there, and it's wonderful to know you're in sync with me.
Awesome, Kathy.
*hugs*
