Book 11 of The Deep End series is now in the editing phase. I love writing these books and the characters have become part of my world. Sometimes that's good... and other times that's bad.
In order to make a story interesting, beloved characters must experience hardship and pain at some point and work their way through adversity. I'm finding it more and more difficult to place my characters into troublesome situations and create strife and heartbreak for them. It sounds silly, I know... but it's true.
In book 11 - "Submitting", I have two characters who are very different people... with very different back stories. What they have in common... is they are both control freaks... and they are in love.
As you can imagine... this makes for a lot of conflict... and heartache as they struggle over who will submit symbolically... and who will submit in reality.
In the end... I think the only one who is truly going to have to submit to these two... is ME!
