Today Jodi Thomas is here with a quick note about The Comforts of Home, the third book in her Harmony, Texas series (Berkley, 11/1/11). The entire series is fabulous. If you haven’t read it yet, you really need to.
______________________
THE COMFORTS OF HOME will be hitting the stands on Nov. 1, 2011 and I’m very excited to see my people of Harmony, Texas come alive. In my mind they already are and sometimes I feel like they’re so real that I could pack my bag and go down for a visit any time I liked.
With writing it’s always been that way for me. I don’t really feel like I create characters, I feel like I just meet people and get to know them. If I’m lucky they tell me their story. When I meet people who read and love my books I always like to hug them. After all, we have friends in common.
Once in a while a characters plays at the corner of a writer’s mind for a long time before their story begins to grow. Ronelle Logan was like that with me. She was in WELCOME TO HARMONY as a girl who worked in the post office and eats alone every day in the diner. I knew she’d have her own story one day even from the beginning. As she wakes up to the world around her she sees what her life is really like and wants more.
I had a great time writing this book and hope you all will enjoy the journey through this story with me. Step into Harmony and enjoy THE COMFORTS OF HOME.
Thanks for reading.
