Book Notes
Writing Note: I’ve always wanted to write a hotel farce, a story with lots of characters and slamming doors and mistaken identities along the lines of the great screwball comedies of the 40s. I ended up with seven point of view characters and two subplots I wasn’t expecting along with two main plots and an ending that took me completely by surprise so it wasn’t in the proposal. Fortunately, my editor Beth de Guzman was open-minded.
Animal Note: There are no animals. The story takes place in a hotel. There was no way an animal would work in this plot. They can’t all have animals. Do not write me about this.
Character Note: I started out thinking this was Dennie and Alec’s book. When I revised it, I began to think it was Victoria and Harry’s book. Now I think it belongs to all four of them, the first time I’ve had two romance plots instead of one plot and one subplot. I couldn’t help it. Victoria and Harry were too much fun.
