Debra has an idea for a new series set in the Caribbean.
I had a lot of fun using the cruise my hubby and I took on our honeymoon for the setting of Wild Wedding Weekend. As I basked in the sun on this year's cruise in March, I thought it would be even more fun to create a series about a cruise line. In the last four years we've discovered a plethora of new Caribbean islands that we love. And writing about places I've actually visited is so much easier. Plus I have about a million pictures to fill in any gaps in my memory. I even started making notes (including plots and characters) on the books I'd like to write for the series. I have the name of the cruise line and the names of the ships for each story. Characters I plan to use are the line's owner's daughter, a personal tour guide, a chef, a real estate agent, and various passengers. (This is FAR more planning than I ever do ahead of time, especially for multiple books.)
Some of the islands/countries I plan on featuring in the series are:
St. Thomas
St. Kitts
St. Maarten
Tortola
Honduras
Belize
Cozumel
Puerto Rico
The Bahamas
Now with all of these ducks in a row, I just need to find time to write!
Until next time,
Happy Reading!
