Who's on First?

If you've read all four of my books, then you might have noticed that characters from one quite frequently show up in another. While not a series in the truest sense of the word, their stories do intertwine.


Several of my readers have asked for something that shows which characters show up in which novels, just to be sure they haven't missed a connection. To the best of my ability, I've put together a "character map" that shows the characters of importance from each novel.


Before you check it out, there are a few things I should point out:



I can, at times, be a scatter-brain. I could have completely forgotten a major character. In fact, I'd be surprised if I hadn't. If you notice someone missing, post it in the comments and I'll try to update the document.
In most cases, I have grouped characters in pairs. I say most cases – sometimes characters are grouped together because I was out of space, so don't read to much into it when Devon McAlister and Jeff Talbot are paired together.
Books listed as "tbd" are in various stages of completion. I can't say when or if they'll be published; they're just next in line in my head.
There are characters from some of the novels listed who will get their own novel, it'll just be later down the line. So don't be disappointed if a character you'd hoped to see doesn't show up. I can think of at least five characters off the top of my head who  are introduced in existing or upcoming novels but aren't listed yet because their novel isn't far enough along. (And again, the space issue…)
On the character map, you'll notice I have one book listed as "in-between the novels." It's a romantic comedy (most likely a novella) that will be offered up for charity. I'm collaborating with my new favorite author, Sylvain Reynard. His debut novel, Gabriel's Inferno, is racing up the charts right now. When you read it, you'll see why. Pairing a swoon-worthy male lead written by Sylvain with one of my tenacious female leads should be amusing. I'll post more about that as the time gets closer, but in short: there will be sparks and shenanigans a-plenty.

 


So, with all that said… if you want to see my attempt at explaining who shows up when, here it is: Character Map

Heather Huffman Thanks! I respect Sylvain a lot, so I'm having fun with the novella and can't wait to release it. I hope you like Throwaway!

Julie Natzke I just finished reading all four of your books... all within about 10 days. I couldn't put them down and was sad when they ended because I wanted each story to continue. I was even more sad when I finished the fourth one because now I have to wait for the next one to come out! Can't wait! I love how the characters from the different books pop up in others.

On a side note, I wondered where in Florida you are from since I was also raised there, and now live in the St. Louis area. In another odd coincidence, you actually used my name in Jailbird: my maiden name was Julie Russell.

Keep up the great work. Looking forward to Ring of Fire.

Heather Huffman Julie - thank you so much for your post. That is a pretty funny coincidence - several of them, actually. I am originally from the Fort Walton Beach area. My father was in the Air Force.

I am really excited about Ring of Fire; it visits some old characters and introduces some new. Hopefully I'll have news about a final release date soon!

Julie Natzke Heather -

I grew up in the Gainesville area. I'm kind of glad to find out that we couldn't have known each other because that means you're not someone from my past who hated me and decided to use my name as a villain in one of her novels. LOL

Hope you're enjoying this beautiful fall weather in the STL.

Julie

Heather Huffman I promise, I always choose villian names that have nothing to do with anyone I know. :o) The weather is amazing today - I hope you are enjoying it, too!
