Ever write the beginning of a story last?
That's what I'm doing now. After publishing nine books in the Halo Legacy series, I'm writing the prequel--the story of Bernie. (Scheduled for release in March 2015.)
Supercop. Loving father. A man convinced he got away with murder.
I like to design covers as I'm in the process of writing my stories. Here's the latest--though not necessarily the final--cover. They change as often as edits to the text. :)
In writing this book, I'm re-reading all nine books in the series.
What a treat to revisit small town Halo, Oregon! I'm falling in love with these characters all over again. Enjoying their love stories and their boldness in facing challenges. Wishing I was a bit more like them, but not wanting to face their traumas in my own life. Knowing they will reach their happily-ever-after but only after a final showdown with killers determined to keep their cruel and profitable secrets buried.
Bernie became a legend in the minds of his widow and adopted children. Writing a story from Bernie's perspective will also show how very human he was. Though it might seem backwards, I'm enjoying this process of "the beginning shall come last"!
