This book has been part of my life for a long time, so it was interesting going back through it and watching my writing change over the years.

The first couple of chapters, for instance, were actually written several years ago. I started The Love Laws immediately after I wrote Lost & Found. But when I received several rejection letters from publishers for L&F I figured there really wasn't any reason to continue writing.

Then, when I finally self-published on Amazon I decided I should finish Kevin and Jamie's story. (Just a note here: I really wish I hadn't named my hero Kevin. The name really doesn't suit him but it was too late at this point. I was crushing on a bartender with this name at the time I wrote it and had no idea he was a bit unstable. Note to self - do not name characters for people.)

Unfortunately, when I got back into writing The Love Laws I found that I'd set myself up for failure. The premise was too big and there was too much going on. I wrote a few chapters and gave up again. I wrote another short novella, came back to The Love Laws again for a chapter, and then wrote something else.

Finally, I was ready to get serious. And my left breast went homicidal on me. This, of course, interfered with finishing this book. It was actually supposed to be done months ago. I'm really sorry for the delay. You have no idea how much pressure I felt to finish but some days just made it impossible.

Mostly I'm happy that the book remains light-hearted and fun despite the fact that I wasn't really feeling all that happy-go-lucky through the writing process. The last two-thirds of the book was written after my diagnosis and subsequent treatment and I'm very proud that my own personal demons didn't leak into the story at all. I'm saving that for the next book. (Yes, it's a new Kingston Brothers novella.)

The Love Laws, however, didn't entirely escape my personal issues. Something is missing from it. The sex. Don't get me wrong. There's still a few hot scenes in there but it's not as steamy as many of my other works. I hope you won't be disappointed, but looking like a giant baby didn't exactly put me in a sexy mood. 

In conclusion, The Love Laws provided me with an excellent distraction during a rough time. I hope it can provide the same for you. So please enjoy it and I look forward to your comments.
