This week, on the Romance Writers Weekly blog hop, we're asked to "Write a letter to one of your characters, either from yourself as author or from another of your characters."
Oy. Okay so, my characters haven't been speaking to me all that well recently. And they don't seem inclined to speak to each other very much either. So I guess I'll have to write a letter to them. In this case, I've chosen to reach out to Lucy and Dan Cavanaugh for reasons which will likely become apparent. (sigh) Anyway, here goes:
Dear Lucy and Dan,
Well, it's been awhile. I hope you've both been keeping well. I suppose you're wondering when I'm going to get around to re-releasing your book (A Taste of Honey) which I'd originally planned on releasing this month, ie April. Yeah. That's not happening. I'm hoping for May but we'll see how it goes.
Your book has always been one of my favorites (and no, I'm not just saying that) so I don't want to just things and make a mess with the annotating. Also, your playlist is a godawful mess--I have no idea why--and I'm having to deal with that now, too.
Remember those days, back when I was writing book two in the series, how you used to show up in my head late at night and pester me to get your story down right tf NOW, even though you were supposed to be book four and I still didn't even know how book three was going to turn out? Yours was the book I worried about the most. I loved the story so much and really wanted to do it justice.
Remember how (because you were both such PITA) that I ended up writing your story early (ie out of sequence) and then gave you really big parts to play in books three, five, and seven as well? And, yes, those big parts did involve you both almost dying, and I know I put your kids in danger several times as well...not to mention the Christmas short story where I messed all your lives up AGAIN...but along the way you got to dance and romance and everyone loved you...
But okay...I guess, now that I think of it, I can understand why you'd maybe be a little salty. Still. I wish you'd try and have a little patience and work with me. All right? Maybe go and have a talk with my muse or something and convince her to come back from vacation. Or maybe visit some of the other characters. There are a couple in New Jersey that are really holding things up right now. They could probably use a pep talk. M'kay?
Also, just so you know, I have another Christmas story in the works that features you both, so that's something to look forward to, isn't it? That's a good reason for why we should be working together, instead of working against each other...don't you think?
And no, it's the story that's coming out this year, but...I dunno...it could maybe be next year?
Just think about it, all right? It'll be better for all of us if we can work together like we used to...well, less the nighttime visits, that is. Sleep is important, after all.
All right. That's all I have to say at the moment. Love you, miss you, mean it.
Yours affectionately,
PG

Btw, if you'd ALSO like to read a very short (free) story in which I go to Oberon and interact with several of my characters (including Lucy) check out this link:
Going Back To Oberon
A Very Short Story
This story started out as a feature on Cabin Goddess’s “Fourth Wall Friday” blog. Authors were invited to put themselves into a scene where they interacted with their characters. I had a great deal of fun imagining myself returning to the scene of my very first series. It started me thinking about all the stories I hadn't told yet. And it really motivated me to start getting some of those ideas out there.
