The idea of Crew started a long time ago. I wrote a few chapters. My agent shopped it around. No one wanted it, so I knew I was going to self-publish it, but it was set aside for other projects. A few months after that, I started Ryan’s Bed. I wrote eight chapters, and then set that aside. (That’s all explained in the back of that book!) And then eight months later, a new beginning for Crew spoke to me and out came Bren’s story. Bren’s life is similar to some of my other characters, but so not at the same time. She really is like a feral wolf at times. She yearns for family, for love, but she puts up a tough shield to break through. She snaps and snarls and she bites back, though not literally. But she’s got a heart of gold for who she trusts not to hurt her, and that was the real story
