Since the release of my first
1NS, What You Need, my main heroine Victoria has become a bit larger than I ever
planned. By larger, I mean she has a spot on my blog interviewing other heroes
and heroines in her uncouth and naughty way. She’s recognizable by multiple
readers and I’ve often heard from a few folks whenever they decide to channel
their ‘inner Victoria’ or how ‘Victoria would be proud’.
That being said, I somehow feel
obligated to produce something more for this character and her hero. But I as
an author I find it challenging to revisit my characters sometimes. After much
soul-searching I decided I didn’t want another story playing out Victoria and
Royce’s life in more detail. Instead I settled for letting her and her
continuing future with Royce drop in person or through conversation in some new
1NS stories I’m writing.
Allowing this little tidbit of
information to pop up through different stories is one way to carry the happily
ever after beyond the initial story. To give the characters new life and prove
that their love lasted long after their one night, courtesy of Madame Eve.
Writing their continuation did turn into a cathartic action, as I discovered I
wasn’t quite done with Victoria and Royce as I thought I was.
My question—to readers: do you
enjoy hearing about previous characters from other stories and if so do you
like brief encounters or more detailed? For writers: is it easy or hard to
sprinkle characters from previous books into new stories?

What You Need
Blurb:
Royce is looking for a woman who won’t cringe at the words “sexual submissive,”
and a chance for all his fantasies to come true. The 1Night Stand he signed up
for was supposed to be simple with no attachments, but when his match is his
ex-best friend, simple goes out the window. He can’t stop seeking the answers
to why Victoria left or deny his new-found attraction to her.
Victoria has loved Royce forever, but his rejection of her affections
eight years ago caused her to walk away from everything. She’s not the same
girl from college, and no longer naive and willing to run too just anyone. A
sexual dominant born from her mistakes, she wants a chance to start a
relationship based on her terms. She’ll settle for one night, but she’s
planning on forever.
