Читать книгу An Ideal Husband? - Michelle Styles, Michelle Styles - Страница 3

In the beginning there was Sophie. I wrote the first scene of this book and then thought, Hold on—what happened before? The ‘what happened before?’ thoughts led to me writing TO MARRY A MATCHMAKER, and after I’d finished writing it I considered that I could leave Sophie and concentrate on other stories. My editor agreed and thought it would be a good idea to give Sophie a chance to grow up.

Sophie had other ideas. She enlisted my daughter. My daughter was instrumental in my writing AN IMPULSIVE DEBUTANTE, and every so often Katharine would ask, ‘So when are you going to write Sophie? It is all very well and good saying that she had a happy ending, Mom, but how did she get there? You must know.’

My daughter went away to university, and when we talked she’d keep on about Sophie and how she needed a proper story. Finally I asked my editor—who agreed! Sophie, of course, decided to become rather aloof because I had ignored her, and I feared I would have to write something else. Then, quite suddenly, Sophie decided she had better show up or she would not have a story!

The result is this book. I did adore writing it once Sophie and Richard decided to speak to me. I hope you will enjoy reading it.
