Читать книгу Because of Audrey - Mary Sullivan - Страница 4

Dear Reader,

When the idea for the heroine of this book, Audrey, popped into my head, she came fully blown—a complete character who was self-confident, happy with her quirky ways and not the least bit afraid to be different from those around her.

I had a lot of fun writing a strong individual who couldn’t be forced into a mold.

I also had fun dressing her. This woman has a generous figure. She’s not worried about her weight. She’s never dieted. She embraces her image by playing with it, by emphasizing her assets. She sews her own retro clothes or buys vintage Chanel.

When developing a suitable hero for her, I came up with a wounded man. Where Audrey is confident, Gray is a ball of anxiety. He didn’t used to be, but a lot has happened to him lately. Too much. As well, there was that pivotal event in his past, the memory of which he buried so deeply he doesn’t think it ever happened. While he forced it out of his mind, Audrey embraced the experience and used it to create who she became later.

She is here to help Gray to remember and to heal.

I enjoyed writing a story about how one event changed two people so differently and delving into the ways in which people not only survive, but thrive.

Enjoy,

Mary Sullivan
