Barbecue and Bad News just came out this week, and I knew Sheriff Scott Calvin was way overdue for his love story. Readers were a little unhappy when Kasey chose Cody over Scott back in Pecan Pie and Deadly Lies, but I knew there was someone better out there for Scott.
I have to admit that some of the shock jock and no-filter creatives like Howard Stern and Chelsea Handler had a hand in creating the heroine for that book. I started to wonder if someone that seemed so crass in advice and comments might have baggage that they were hiding behind. Out of those thoughts came Savannah. She was not showing that side to the world, but even with it under wraps it nearly destroyed her chance at love. But thank goodness, we can recover from just about anything if we put our heart into it.

Hi Nancy! I'm an aspiring author and look to all of your Christmas novels for inspiration. The way you write is so captivating, and I find myself relating to almost all of your characters. The thing I struggle the most with, while writing, is coming up with plot ideas that are as complex as they are inspiring. How do you do it?
