The Bond of Twins
A Chance in Destiny: Dark Choices follows a devastated woman who is on a mission to stop her cheating husband from killing her and stealing her inheritance. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?
My inspiration for the story is the fact I am a twin. I wanted to show how strong the bond can be in families. Some siblings are extremely close and some are not, I chose the stronger bond.
How do you balance story development with shocking plot twists? Or can they be the same thing?
When developing my stories, I do not always know where a plot twist will develop. It’s not something I plan, but when it fits the story, it fits, and I love my editor’s comment, “I didn’t see that coming.” I believe these can be specific to each author. Not all stories need a twist, but I sure enjoy adding them.
Charlie receives a life-altering shock when she discovers her perfect life is an illusion, and she has to find her inner strength to survive emotionally and physically. Do you think there’s a single moment in everyone’s life, maybe not as traumatic, that is life-changing?
Life-changing can be anything. We all have those moments, our first home, marriage, a baby, illness, loss ( personal, financial, or work), betrayal. Not every change is devastating, but the wrong trigger could set a direction you never planned to travel. My characters were lucky, it’s not always the case in real life.
What is the next book that you are working on, and when will it be available?
I have finished the next book in this series, the release date is January 2025. You won’t want to miss it!
