Inspiration can come from the weirdest places. My inspiration for Thirty Things was a YouTube video. Tasting Notes came from driving through a tiny town in Oregon and seeing a winery on the side of the road. Red Runs Through is based on a patient I met in real life. And Alaska came to me after seeing a bumper sticker.

Yep.

A bumper sticker.

I was on my way home from the grocery store and someone in an SUV cut me off. They had a bumper sticker that just said “Anchorage”. That was it. Black text on a white background, and in the time  it took me to get home from that intersection (which was only about five minutes), I’d plotted out the initial idea for the book.

Alaska is going to be coming out in a couple of weeks (the 26^th, to be exact!) and is the first in a brand new series set in a fictional little town in Alaska. The two main characters, Holden Prescott and Gage Emerson are both surgeons, but they’re not exactly on friendly terms with each other.

Here’s the blurb:

Nobody says no to a Prescott.
Not even one of their own.

Holden:
Living up to expectations had never been easy, but when I went after something, I got it. Success. Money. Victory. I was standing on the doorstep to having it all. There was only one thing standing in my way.

Gage:
Power and prosperity are overrated. Especially when they come at a price. When enough became enough, I walked away. Nothing had ever tempted me to look back, until one day the past showed up in my backyard.

I’m not so sure I can walk away a second time.
