Story Behind The Book
"Strange Bedfellows" originally had a different plot. It was supposed to be a story about the widow of a senator who is assassinated. She finds out he had an illegitimate daughter (he left a bunch of stuff to her in his will). The widow and the daughter would eventually end up together. Then it kind of transitioned into an ex-gay group leader who has a one-night stand with someone who doesn't know who she really is – and who later finds out and blackmails her. Then it transitioned into a story about an artist wanting to paint the portrait of an ex-gay group leader. Obviously, none of these attempts quite gelled, and I wish I could remember how I finally got on track with the plot I did. "Strange Bedfellows" does have some elements in common with the very first idea. There's a politician with an illegitimate child. And, uh… ;-)
The important thing is, the plot finally gelled!
