Barrel of Whiskey

By this point, I think I'd been living without my kids or my family for about six years? I think so. I was trying desperately to find a path toward healing, and I was trying to figure out how I could re-pave a path to my girls.

Real life is hard for me. I don't relate to people in ways that make sense to those around me, but in books? That's different. So, this was my attempt to pave new pathways to my girls.

This was where I saw the wars starting. First with Sven and then the civil war. So, it wasn't all fueled by current events. Current events just happened to occur as I was writing and releasing Para Wars.

The interactions with Chuck, the alpha in that area, when waaaaaaaay different than I'd outlined. That guy and how he related and helped Dexx threw off the entire second half of the book.

But then, Rachel showing up did the same, too. So, these dang characters. I think part of the reason they're so real in the books is because they're real in my head. I wish I could say I controlled them. I don't.
