In Two Day Book Report
Questions:
1. Please give us a short introduction to what In Two Weeks is about
In Two Weeks is about a young woman, Ryan O’Connor who had a devastating childhood, but came out on time in spite of it, with the help of her older brother’s best friend, NY State Trooper Jared Blake. She’s had a crush on Jared for as long as she can remember, and while they are close friends, he’s never much noticed her and there is a ten year age difference. Jared’s heart was torn apart with the death of his newborn son and between that and the broken marriage, Jared is a broken man. And now he’s moving in two weeks. Ryan decides if she can’t have him forever, she’ll have him for one night. But now she’s being stalked and Jared has two weeks to find out who …show more content…
If a man has that right balance between chivalry and power (or being controlling and overbearing at times), it makes a woman feel loved and protected. Throughout the story, Ryan learns that while some of Jared’s actions seem controlling, they are done out of love.
6. Why do you like to weave some suspense into your books instead of doing pure romance?
I honestly believe its just because that is what I like to read.
7. Between juggling a career and your personal life, how do you manage to make time to write?
Now that I’m an empty nester, it’s a bit easier. But back when I first started writing I had three kids in travel hockey. I spent a lot of time at the rink! I brought my laptop and wrote most of my books during hockey practice or between games or in hotel rooms while hockey players played knee hockey in the hallway. The key is to be organized. I set daily goals for different things. I’m a big fan of to do lists.
8. In Two Weeks contains quite a lot of twists. Did you plan them all out before you started writing?
No. I had a framework for the story, but as you write, sometimes things just happen. I’d be writing a scene thinking one thing and then all of a sudden, something else
