Writing Update (and a giveaway!)

By

I initially conceived the Misty River Romance series when….

Genevieve and Natasha
Sebastian
Ben
Luke

And what if, miraculously… He did?

The series catches up with the “Miracle Five” when they’re all adults marked in different and irrevocable ways by the trauma they endured eighteen years before.

In Stay with Me, I told the story of the younger of the two sisters, Genevieve. [By the way, if you haven’t read Stay with Me now is the perfect time to snag it for your e-reader. It’s on sale for just $1.99!] In Let It Be Me, I tell the story of the foster kid turned pediatric cardiac surgeon. This is somewhat how I picture Sebastian these days….

And this is somewhat how I see Leah, the math genius he falls in love with….

The problem that stands between these two is a biggie. Sebastian’s best friend Ben, whom he met when they were trapped underground by the earthquake, loves her, too.

I’m so very excited to share Let It Be Me with you! Some of my books give me fits, but I think Sebastian and Leah must have known that I really, really needed one thing in my life to go smoothly in 2020. They behaved well and cooperated with me nicely.

I’m currently working on the third and final book in the series, Luke’s story!

If you have any comments or questions for me about the Misty River Romance series, I’d love to hear them!

  1. I love the way you just laid out the series. Maybe I missed that before, but thank you. So happy everything fell in place for you. Thanks for the giveaway.

  2. My, my, my…Sebastian looks good all grown up 🙂 I’m really enjoying this series and the unique connection these characters share.

  3. Congratulations, Becky, on finishing Let it Be Me! I hope May hurries up and gets here, I’m looking forward to reading it. : )

    What a wonderful giveaway you and CourtneyWalsh are doing, thank you for the chance to win. Take care, have a beautiful weekend!

  4. I definitely fell in love with this group of kids in the first book. I enjoy seeing pics of the way you imagine them to look like. I loved Stay With Me and have preordered Let it be Me.

    Thank you for the chance to win, and also for making it easy to enter the contest. Hope you have a wonderful and blessed day!

    • Thank you, Angie!! I love family series, but after writing two of those back-to-back I started looking for different ways to tie characters together. The earthquake connection has been a fun thing to explore.

  6. So fun seeing how you envisioned the miracle five as children! Thank you for sharing and I absolutely loved Stay With Me. So glad that writing Let It Be Me during 2020 went smoothly for you. I’m excited to read about a pediatric cardiac surgeon and a math genius.

    Are you enjoying writing about the romance between Luke and the heroine in his book? Also, I’m curious if you made a conscious decision to not have any of the miracle five fall in love with one another?

    • I’m so happy to hear that you loved Stay with Me! Thank you! Yes, I’m enjoying writing about Luke and his heroine. 💕I’m on the rough draft of their story at the moment so I have a lot of work ahead of me on that one. But so far so good!

      I did make a conscious decision not to have any of the five fall for one another. There’s a lot of merit to that idea! But, in this case, I always envisioned tying them together with friendship.

  7. I just finished Stay With Me, and loved Sam and Geneveives story. Looking forward to reading Sebastians story next.

  8. I loved seeing your kid inspirations and how they look all grown up. Such a fascinating idea, Becky! And I know it’s a relief to have those final edits finished. Congrats!

    • Thank you, Karen! Yep, it’s always a relief to send those final edits off. It’s the equivalent of taking a stack of manuscript pages off my desk and dropping them onto my copy editor’s desk instead. 😁
