Margaret Locke
Back in 2011, my husband and I were driving home after a dinner date, during which I'd finally confessed that I really, truly wanted to write romance novels. As he drove, I mulled over story ideas. Suddenly I blurted out, "How about if a woman figures out the men she's dating are characters she wrote in stories long ago?" My husband's eyebrows went up and he said, "Sounds intriguing to me."
It wasn't a typical romance novel scenario, to be sure, but it hooked me, and the next day I sat down and wrote out the basic storyline. It's gone through a number of changes since then (especially thanks to my fabulous editor, Tessa Shapcott), but the essence is the same, and I truly love the story that emerged. I hope others who read A Man of Character feel the same way.
