Story Behind The Book
While writing another book in a different series, this red-haired young woman twirled into the cavern setting and refused to leave. I thought about working her into that story, but she just didn't fit. I sat her down and asked her to tell me about herself. She said her name was Kami, and that once I heard her story, I would want to write it because, after all, true love is what I do...
