So I was trying to make more cute kinds of titles that were clean and wouldn’t create any advertising issues. I’ll probably make a post talking about that whole situation soon, too.īut my early drafts of titles and covers were all with the idea of pitching the series to Montlake. I also didn’t realize Anyone But Rich and Anyone But Cade weren’t exactly going to be bestselling hits. The part I didn’t realize is that Montlake can’t advertise BDSM books.
If they liked my pitch, it would mean a contract for another group of books I’d do with them.
Problem number one was that I originally planned to sort of “pitch” this series to Montlake. The path from there to here wasn’t exactly smooth, so I thought it’d be fun to talk a little about the issues I ran into with getting this book off the ground. I knew it had been forever since I’d dabbled in the world of BDSM, and I wondered what it would be like to write a BDSM book as a romantic comedy. I saw William coming in her shop and “stealing her cherry.” That was pretty much all I had when I started writing the first chapter, but an exciting idea like that can really power the story for me. I’ll have an image, like I did for Her Cherry. No pressure!Ī lot of my stories pop in my head with the meet-cute moment.
Every little decision could be one that ultimately comes back to bite you and tanks your series. As fun as all of that is, it’s scary, too. It means coming up with a “brand” for your new books. It’s always an exciting and daunting prospect to finish a series. I finished Anyone But Nick about four months ago and was faced with the wide open unknown.
