Will I see you @ a reader’s event soon?

Candace @ a recent readers’ con

What’s so special about these events, you ask?

Well, of course, meeting new-to-you authors. Talking to writers about their books. Gift shopping ideas. Buying a book from an author who will sign it especially for you. And the upbeat vibe. Writers love interacting with readers. I write sweet contemporary paranormal romance and I got an excellent story idea during a chat with a reader at a recent event. That idea developed into a character in my book “Familiar Blessings: Book One in the Magic Potter Series.”

If you haven’t read Familiar Blessings yet, here’s the general story line.

~~~

Tired of being hounded by the greedy dead, gifted medium Dr. Theodosia Blessing, the wonder-child of historians around the world, yearned for anonymity. After renouncing her magic, she reinvented herself as Theo, the potter. She returned to her hometown of Cat’s Paw Cove, Florida, where she lives with her familiar, a mind-reading tortoiseshell cat named Aloysius. Former Army Ranger Ethan Cooper was content to live a reclusive life in his cabin in North Carolina. But as Christmas draws near, he agrees to repay a debt to an old man whose wise counsel brought him out of war’s dark shadow. Ethan accepts one last mission: to track down Theo. Ethan appears unannounced on Theo’s doorstep with an envelope containing the old man’s letter. If what it says is true, the reluctant medium, skeptical Ranger, and wiseacre cat must travel back to 1720 to save a young boy from the gallows.

I won’t spoil the plot for you. But I will tell you that after that chance meeting with someone at an event, I came home and brainstormed the whole story about a medium, her ghost clientele, and traveling back in time.

I’d love it if you were the one to give me the next great story idea!
