(view spoiler)[My most recent book, Undeniable Desire, was inspired by a character in Grey's Anatomy. I don't watch Grey's Anatomy religiously, but from time to time I binge watch it. There was an episode with Kyle Chandler who played a bomb squad guy (I don't know the technical term for what his role was, I call it a bomb technician in my book) but anyway I shipped him and Meridith but as you know (if you watched the show he died during the explosion).
Now how Undeniable Desire came about, I always wanted to write a story featuring a school counselor as the main character. I wanted to give my readers a humanistic perspective of school counselors (because we always think psychologists and counselors seem to have their shit together and therefore we expect them to listen to us and handle our shit. How do I know this? Because school counseling is my forte!
Anyway, I then put my main character (Kelsey) in a situation where she has her own demons to fight on a daily basis and prove that counselors like everyone are human too and make her sleep with her first one night stand (all the while in the middle of a divorce) and the rest is history. To be fair I initially planned on her ending up with bomb squad guy (Zeki Majer) but as I uncovered the relationship dynamics of Kelsey and her husband Gael, I felt just as conflicted as Kelsey was in choosing between both men in my story. Who does she end up with in the end and does Zeki survive or face the same faith as Kyle Chandler in Grey's Anatomy, you have to find out yourself! (hide spoiler)]
