Goodreads asked Shannon Nemechek:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Shannon Nemechek I started work on Warranted Pleasures in Fall of 2010 the idea actually came from basically observing soldier and relationships in the Army. The book is of course all fiction but does reflect some relationships I have seen in the Army. Those relationships that are against Army regulations but still occur sometimes people can't help who they fall in love with. As most have seen with some past very public relationships that have been covered by national media.

I worked on the book for about 2 months and put it down until April 2015 when I picked it back up after retiring from the Army. It is difficult to write a book while serving in the army mainly because it must go through an approval process through the chain of command before it can be published. Now that I am retired well I don't need that approval and can focus on these as well as other relationships. Love shouldn't have boundaries and my books will focus on overcoming the boundaries despite all the odds against them.
