I wanted to share some thoughts and behind the scenes of the writing of Leopard's Scar.


When writing a book in a series I pretty much know which character I’ll write about next. For the Leopard series it was going to be Gorya. His book was in my head, and I knew his story. I sat down to write it and suddenly this total stranger shows up! She was loud in my mind and so vivid in her character that I couldn’t stop thinking about her. This was not Gorya’s woman. I knew that.

Then another stranger showed up. Handsome, smooth, sophisticated and wild. Lethal. I tried to ignore him and go back to Gorya but those two strangers had other ideas.



Meiling is such an amazing character. She’s strong, self-reliant, funny even. The more she spoke up, the more I knew I had to write about her. He was extraordinary and unique. And he was unlike other characters in this series in many ways. But he was certainly a leopard. I wasn’t going to be able to write Gorya’s book until I wrote the story of these two strangers. And something inside me said they had to come first, I just didn’t know why yet.




So, Meiling and Gedeon took over the position of Gorya’s book.

These two new characters went back and forth between New Orleans and San Antonio. And they stirred things up. It was tense and I worried that issues with previous characters, that I love, wasn’t going to end well.

When I got toward the end of the book I realized this had to take place first for Gorya’s book to be written. It couldn’t have happened any other way. And I’m excited for readers to find out why.
