Hi Saunders, Sorry I didn't see this until now. Were you able to find Because of You? It hasn't changed titles or anything but it's not available overseas, unfortunately.

Hi Suzanne,
So sorry it took me so long to get back to you!
The series is lightly connected but I've tried to write every book so that you can read it without having picked up any of the other ones. The only books that does not apply to are Because of You and I'll be Home for Christmas. Back to You can be read as stand alone but it answers a cliffhanger (that I promise I will never do again) from Because of You.
xoxo

I don't know, honestly. Sometimes, things just come to me, like cool ideas or characters. And most of the time, they're not ready to start being worked on so I just let them marinate in my subconscious. I'm a firm believer in letting your subconscious work on things for a while. 9 times out of 10, that will fix a lot of problems for me.

Right now, I'm working on the next three Coming Home books. You can find out a teeny bit more on my website http://www.jessicascott.net

Read a lot. Study your craft. Don't be in such a rush to hit publish that you put a crappy draft out there (trust me, I know of what I speak). Craft will ensure you're still around writing in a few years.

That i have an awesome excuse for when the FBI comes and questions me about my search engine results.
In all seriousness, though, I love getting to tell these stories. They're so important to me in so many ways. It's truly a gift.

Well, to be honest, half the time, I'm bawling as I write them. I figure if I can get my own emotions worked up, then hopefully some of that emotion will turn up on the page for readers, too.
I have to admit, though, that writing is cathartic for me. It really helps me process everything, you know?

I go back and reread what I've already written to figure out where I've gotten lost

I wanted to write Major Patrick McLean's story for a while. Originally, his significant other was supposed to have been killed but apparently, Sam had other ideas. She's one tough army lady!
