I know some people think I've made some sort of mistake with my IK books but, believe me I haven't. A long time ago, two and a bit years ago, I was happily writing away on Massimo's story and got stuck. Just plain old stuck. And with most things I get stuck on, I leave it, have a bit of cake, play with some boys (hehehe) and go back to it when I'm ready. That didn't happen until this year. In the meantime, Rocky started chattering to me about his lost love and the Luca wanted to have his past resolved with someone sweet and generous and loving. All the time, Massimo was sitting back, waiting, patiently. That surprised even me, since patience isn't a Da Canaveze trait by a long mile. So while Rocky talks about Massimo's marriage on his book, A Life Sublime tells you all about that wedding and what happened to even get to said wedding. This book pre dates the events of The Claim. I wish I could have written A Life Sublime two years ago, but I wasn't in that place. Neither was my hot muse Hank. There were things we had to experience, to go through, to understand, to feel before I had the maturity to write this book. Plus there's so much Fante in it, I needed my parents to wait a damn minute to get spelling. In truth, the IK order of books should be as follows:
- Windows
- On Caristo's Watch
- A Life Sublime
- The Claim
- Best Laid Plans
Any other story after number five will not cause timeline confusions. I hope. Depending on who shouts the loudest. Massimo was content to wait. I'll have to see who else is.

Ms London;
ReplyDeleteYou did it again. I love Belinda & Massimo's story. It was amazing. The fact that you used this book to help Paul & Nick deal with their feelings concerning Mary Alice was huge. Thank you for inviting me to Nick & Gina's wedding. Beautiful book by a beautifuk and talented author.
Wow, what an amazing review to wake up to! Thank you heaps and heaps!
DeleteI read them all and thoroughly enjoyed them. I honestly didn't think anyone could pull off writing such a romance, given that most of us have "problems" visualising that older people still do get hot and steamy in the bedroom as everything still works!. BUT, you did and I couldn't get enough and hope that the way you left it, speaks for a Fortsetzung?. Here's hoping!.
ReplyDeletePS: Is your publisher doing your editing?. Asking because some words were Americanised. I know, but I want the whole shebang of British wording. Petty?. I am!. :-)
Glad you enjoyed it. It was a bit of a trial writing but Hank and I endured. My editors are all American. I'm the only Brit in town. I do try to correct everything back if it has been but human eyes do fail.
