There were way more than three great moments for me when I worked on DALLAS. The book is part of the Guardian Agency/Brotherhood Protectors series. In addition to the series, the Guardian Agency makes appearances in many of my books–be on the lookout for those cameos!
My top 3 moments for Dallas include:
ONE: It’s a great beginning! Dallas was the start of a trilogy with characters who would return for readers in later books (Colin, Tyler, and Gamble). Making those connections deepens the story process for me, enhances the worldbuilding, and in general makes me a happy author!
TWO: Research! I have so much fun with the research for my books. The storyline for Dallas became a bridge to the geographical location of the Elle James Brotherhood Protectors world. That means a virtual road trip to Montana and a chance to explore the fictional town Elle planted at the foothills of the Crazy Mountains.
And there was more research required when Dallas goes off road to protect his charge. The hours spent sifting through stunning pictures and reports from the National Parks and various campgrounds was inspiring.
THREE: Camping! With all the gadgets. Finding the right sort of camper setup that would be both safe from bad guys and comfortable for a budding romance was a lot of fun. There are some nifty tricks out there when it comes to transforming a pickup into a comfy place to hang out.
While I’m personally not big on camping anymore, I did enjoy it when I was younger and, of course, it’s fun living vicariously through my characters who get out and enjoy nature.
Live the adventure,
