“Of all my life experiences,” Thad muttered, “I never once imagined myself wandering around in the Colorado mountains with only a pair of boxer shorts, my old Nikes, and a naked diva.” — WHEN STARS COLLIDE

Dear Readers,
A shocking situation! But it’s not Olivia’s fault she’s naked. Things happen. And this scene, by the way, was inspired by a real life situation that happened to friends of mine. (I have very interesting friends.)

Here’s just a sample of what I had to go through dealing with these two stubborn, talented, too-smart-for-their-own-good characters in my new novel, WHEN STARS COLLIDE.

First, there’s Olivia Shore, superstar opera diva, and one of my favorite heroines ever:

“You might be a great singer,” Thad said, “but you’re crap at making apologies.”
Olivia could only grovel for so long. “I’m a soprano. Sopranos aren’t supposed to apologize.”

Really, Olivia? Still, I forgive you. You’re a very good person who’s had a string of very bad luck.

And let’s talk about Thad Walker Bowman Owens, the Chicago Stars backup quarterback. He might be sexy, but he’s far from perfect.
Women had thrown themselves at him before, but he wasn’t used to getting an elbow to his gut when they did it. At his age, he should have known better than to ever tell a woman to calm down….

Yes, Thad, you really should have, which makes me wonder if any of you have ever had someone tell you to calm down when you’re upset? (I’m not naming any names, but feel free to email me with your stories. Or not.)
In my admittedly biased opinion, WHEN STARS COLLIDE is the perfect book to launch you into the heart of a wonderful fall.
