There’s More To The Story:
Did you know that Jake and Sophie’s adventure continues through some short stories and a second novel?
In case you weren’t aware, I have combined the characters from my award-winning YA mysteries, The Perfect Blindside and Into the Spotlight (formerly An Unexpected Role), in several short stories.
For those who are curious, here is the chronological order of all the stories:
- One Blessing at a Time – the winter of the characters’ sophomore year of high school
- Into the Spotlight – the summer between their sophomore and junior years
- The Perfect Blindside – the fall of their junior year of high school
- Extreme Blindside – the winter of their junior year of high school
- More Precious Than Gold – the summer between their junior and senior years
- Unlikely Witnesses – the summer between their junior and senior years
- Ultimate Blindside (coming soon) – the fall of their senior year.
- The Master Plan – the spring of their senior year of high school
Fun Facts
- I chose Jake to be from Kansas because I went to college there for a year. Many of the small town experiences are based on memories from that time.
- The story about how Breckenridge got its name came from an interesting fact my daughter learned in school.
- My son tried out the duct tape and cell phone scene to help prove it was possible.
