From One Story to a Saga: The Making of When Secrets Bloom — A Guest Post for Gina Rae Mitchell

Today I’m delighted to share my guest post Behind the Book – When One Story Becomes Four over on Gina Rae Mitchell’s incredible blog.

Find out how, what begins as one story, does not always remain one story.

Sometimes a character refuses to disappear. A question leads to another question. A forgotten place opens a door into another century. And before you realise it, the story you thought you were writing has become something much larger.

In my guest post, I take you behind the scenes of When Secrets Bloom and explain how one historical novel gradually became the beginning of a four-book story.

On her blog, Gina Rae Mitchell has created a lovely corner of the internet for readers, with thoughtful book reviews, indie-author discoveries, weekly Friday Finds, and the kind of bookish content that invites you to slow down and browse.

If you have ever wondered how a single idea grows into a series, or why some characters simply refuse to let an author write “The End,” I hope you’ll join me over at Gina’s blog:
