Soap operas are one of the biggest influences for my books, especially the Westmore series. Whenever someone asks me to describe Westmore, I always say it's a romance novel meets soap opera.
The book revolves around three families and in all there are seventeen
characters, with a few more to be added later. I won't go into much detail
about all the characters, but for anyone who’s curious feel free to check out
the Westmore page.
What I love
most about the series is the different personalities and backgrounds of the
characters and the history they have with each other. Like a soap opera there
are individual storylines for the characters, including love triangles, family
fighting, and of course backstabbing in the boardroom.
Some readers may think the series is an awesome idea, while
others probably think it’s confusing. But I wanted to write a book that was
unique and as a writer I think you need to think outside the box. I knew when
writing Westmore there would be criticism, yet that was a risk I was willing to
take and even if the books never become a success, I’m still proud of them and
happy I made the decision to write the series.
