Who were Emily's inspiration for the characters of Jack & Cat Davenport please?

And, I've always had a thing for James Bond..." Whatever your inspiration was, I absolutely adore Jack Davenport, and Cat is his perfect foil. Their story is so beautiful I'm excited to start the group discussion about it.

Question for Emily. Where did all Celeste's words of wisdom come from? Were they from you, friends, or things you have read, etc. or all the above?

Thank you Emily. It sounds like you are surrounded by wise, interesting and fun people as well as being one yourself. Celeste is such an interesting person and everything she says is well, funny or wise or interesting or philosophical or all the above. ☺️ You developed an awesome lady that really make this series that much better. And I loved the Brazos Bend series. They got me started on Eternity Springs. Definitely more suspense and sexier is a very good description.

I love that!! I am so fascinated by the stories authors tell about their writing process, highs and lows...thanks, Emily!

That's it - I have to find a way to fit in Brazos Bend this weekend around Reflection Point and the 3 ARCs I'm juggling...isn't that a terrible problem to have? Too many books and not enough time? LOL.

Good luck getting those all in but I do have one question. Are you a speed reader?

I have always been able to read fast - especially if I'm absorbed in the story; but I like to stop and savor my special books so I tend to read them more than once. (I also tend to buy them in every available format!) The main reason I was able to read three books last week was that I didn't do laundry, cook anything more complicated than a baked potato, and kept the turned TV off. I rarely give myself that much time to read, but a woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do! LOL.

KK, I do the same thing when I love a story! But all formats and more than one copy. I am known to have extras in the car in boxes in case I need them at a moments notice to giveaway too!YES, Eternity Springs is one the list!
Paula And Cathy, I love you commitment to reading. I read all the time and do the other necessary stuff only when I have to. I use to love TV but these days I record my favorite shows and watch TV when I need a break from reading, which is usually when I am too tired to read or my eyes are tired from reading. I love to get lost in a good story. I also love my ereaders since I can carry them in my purse and pull it out whenever and wherever I want. I don't leave home without the. Unfortunately Paula I am not a fast reader. Quicker than I use to be but wish I could read faster. And keep on doing what you gotta do! LOL!

I started Reflection Point yesterday, tuned out the entire world until Ray came out to the great room to remind me to get dressed for our lunch date with our son and his girlfriend. I had to resist the urge to take the book in the car ... and I can't wait to keep going today. I love Zach even more right now. He's hilarious in the beginning of the book - I'm SO looking forward to the rest of his story.
Emily. I would like to know what came of the missing STOP sign and Aiden Marshall? I was a telling point in the book but no follow through. Did I miss something? Thank you.

I just finished re-reading Nightingale Way and I'm curious why neither Jack nor Cat received their Angel wings blazon from Celeste?
Mod
Emily I understand how that could happen when you have so many books in a series. I would think it is very hard to keep up with all the details that could crossover the stories.

In Reflection Point we learned that TJ didn't do it and Mandy saw Aiden and his brother Throw the sign on the side of the road. Mandy picked it up and took it home. When TJ's cleared we learn Aiden is on vacation and Zack will follow through when they return. That is the last I read on the subject. I have read all of the books at least twice. Where am I missing this. Thank you.
Emily wrote: "I have to confess that at this point in the series some of the plot lines run together for me. I'm pretty sure I tied up the Aiden Marshall thing in REFLECTION POINT. As far as Jack and Cat's angel..." ;-) Great insights, Emily! Thank you for telling us those little things that add so much to our discussions.

Emily wrote: "Ah, I see. I failed to give you enough wrap up for that plot line. So sorry! I see now I should have added a sentence somewhere about the consequences Aiden faced." We will just fill them in with our lively imaginations. I would LOVE to have seen his face when he saw Zach standing there with the stop sign...
