MR. FAMILY

MR. FAMILY was my first experience with writing a sequel. Mail-order bride stories give an author a fairy-tale world within to work, but there were also strong melodramatic elements. Erika, the sister of the hero from THE THIRD CHRISTMAS, had physical and emotional challenges and doubts; Kal, the hero, had lost his beloved first wife. I think this is my most sexually explicit book, but I don't find it to be the sexiest. Initially, the heroine really didn't believe herself to be sexy. I had lovely reader letters from men who had lived in Hawaii and found the representation of the islands authentic.
