Since writing DARE a couple of years ago, it’s been on my resolution lists to finally tell Candy’s story. But so far it hasn’t happened. Thankfully, it is a resolution coming true this year!!!!
I’ve had a lot of readers ask if Candy, as well as a couple other secondary characters, would get her/their own stories. I’m a writer who likes her characters to talk to me completely before jumping in to start typing. And to be honest, Candy has been one of the hardest women to work with. She’s nattered a bit, here and there, and just when I get a smidge of an idea on what she is up to, she shuts up, goes back to her modeling gigs and ignores me completely. It’s been difficult to say the least but she’s finally starting talking, which is good news. Well, at least pretty good news…though now she won’t shush up and let me think when I need to. Not even when I’ve been down with a cold. LOL
Candy has been up to a lot but in her story — not yet named — she’s just about at the end of her “peak” as far as age and what the modeling world is looking for nowadays. Enter a hot bartender — also not named. So *** are placeholders for him LOL — who isn’t too impressed with her wealth, her smart mouth or her desire to contract his sister to be the next “top model” for the world.
There’s a lot of dialogue so far, a lot of toe-to-toe arguments along with some very heated moments. Candy handles herself well, isn’t too crazy about the small town where everyone knows your name and won’t let a man dictate to her.
I think readers will love revisiting Candy and a few of the other characters. And I hope to have the story done in the next few wks. Yes, the hero will have a name by then!! LOL
I’ll keep you posted on the story’s progress, when it is submitted, etc.
If you’d like to enjoy DARE again, and meet the Saucy Candy, you’ll find all book links HERE.

There are three dates that I am looking forward to in 2015. First is next Wednesday when I am getting my MOM heart tattoo on my left arm (Mom passed in 2012). Second, sometime in July as the actual day is unknown to me when the first Great Gandchild will be born into the Striplin family. Finally, Black Friday when I can go to my tattoo shop and buy a 30% off gift certificate for myself for the next tattoo 🙂 (it will most likely be the Hufflepuff crest on my right shoulder/upper arm 🙂 ). laura.striplin@gmail.com
Sounds like a lot going on for you Laura. I love that you’re getting a Mom tattoo. I got one for my Dad when he passed away, it’s still my fave tat (of 3).
Have a great year ahead!
Which date I am looking for…… mmm……. my next vacation! ha!
when I am on vacation I can read and play on the net when I want and as often as I want
so no specific date but you get my point lol
mary

LOL Mary, I definitely do get your point. Sometimes we all need vacays to just take off and fly by the seats of our pants. I love those times myself.
Have a wonderful 2015!
I don’t have anything exciting planned for 2015 but I do want to get a date for my hospital appointment it was cancelled in December and I’m still waiting for a new one!
Hope everything is ok, Shirley! I dislike when major appts are cancelled.
Good luck!
Have a good year ahead.
