Hi, it's Yvonne here! :-)
I have a book out this month with Harlequin Desire, SOMETHING ABOUT THE BOSS…,
which is part of a continuity. A continuity is a fun project. Our publishing
house draws together a string of ideas and develops an overall story arc,
usually with some secret, mystery or question running through it like an unravelling
thread, and each book within the continuity brings the reader closer to finding
the answers or discovering said secret.
They can be a lot of fun to work on and
it’s a collaborative effort between a group of authors—in this case, chosen by
the publisher—who have to each flesh out the skeleton of their story and their
characters bearing all the other stories and characters in mind. Did I mention
that this can be challenging? Juggling balls has never been my forte and when I’m
working on a continuity I’m forever screening back through previous emails and
the story “bible” to figure out details like who looks like what and how where
they live is furnished.

The Texas Cattleman’s Club: The Missing Mogul continuity is
set in the town of Royal, Texas and while there have been previous continuities
under this banner this one sits quite happily on its own if you haven’t read
the previous series. To help me research SOMETHING ABOUT THE BOSS… I bought the
whole previous series to get a taste of the world I’d be writing in and I loved
it!
You can get your own taste of Texas with the current
continuity, or just with SOMETHING ABOUT THE BOSS…
So, do you guys have any questions about continuities? I’m
working on another one now (juggling, juggling!) All questions will go into a
draw for one lucky winner to receive a copy of a book from my backlist of their
choice (stock permitting.) Ask away!
