I could say that the
genesis of Second Chance and my Chances trilogy started when, at
the privilege of a family friend, I discovered Lake Tahoe over a decade ago.
But its conception probably occurred long before that. As an only child, books
were my default playmates. And if a novel ended abruptly or I found the conclusion
unsatisfactory, I would simply continue the story in my head. So I could
attribute the trilogy’s origin to fate, kismet, or the luck of the draw.
But it’s more seminal than that. It really started in my childhood
imagination.
In those days our imaginations
had little competition for our attention. There were only a few television
stations, no video games and the computer of today was a thing of science
fiction. My imagination could soar infinitely. Characters, layered in
observation and steeped in expectation were formed with each new acquaintance.
The framework of a story was subtlety built as innocence became experience and
naivety became discernment. And a serendipitous cross county trip in my
affecting teenage years started a love affair with California, a frisson that
continues thirty years later and provided the perfect backdrop for it all to
come together. I hope my Chances trilogy will take you there. And
you’ll leave a little piece of your heart behind too.
Martha O’Sullivan’s Chances
trilogy is available now from Red Sage Publishing. Second Chance, the
trilogy opener, is a reunion/love triangle romance that keeps the shores of
Lake Tahoe blazing hot long after the sultry summer sun has set. Chance
Encounter, the trilogy's second installment, heats up San Francisco’s
chilly days and blustery nights with white-hot passion and pulse-pounding
suspense. And in Last Chance, the conclusion of the trilogy, lifelong
friends-turned-lovers melt the snow-packed Sierras into lust-fueled puddles
despite the single-digit temperatures of the Lake Tahoe winter.
Here’s a blurb from Second
Chance:
Lindsay
Foster has convinced herself that marrying lifelong Paul Webster is the right
thing to do. But an inadvertent reunion with Brian Rembrandt rekindles the
unfinished business between them. And Lindsay finds herself torn between the
life she's always wanted and the man she'll always love.
Brian's
up for that fight; he's used to getting what he wants. And he still wants
Lindsay.
But this love triangle has an extra side. Lindsay's best friend Moira Brody has a game-changing secret. And she's not the only one. Even Brian is no match for what happens next. The chain of events set in motion on the tranquil shores of Lake Tahoe come to an astonishing end on a foggy San Francisco night. And alter the course of four lives forever.

Welcome, Martha. Love your inspiration. You sound a bit like me in my own childhood and the story telling bug. And hi to a former Chicagoan from a current Chicagoan.
