All right, buckle up for another set of tidbits from Duality, out on December 20.
It never stops snowing in Windeport.
Not ever. There are times when I wonder why Sean didn’t follow through on quitting his gig there and going private in something more temperate. Like, say, Boston. Or Idaho.
It does rain in Southern California.
Unlike me, Sean has only travelled to California a few times — and weather wise, his experience has generally been anything but what he’d expected. I worked overtime to sneak this particular line into the book as his dry observation at the rain that greets him on this trip; it also serves as a subtle reference to a popular song from the 197os that Julio Iglesias quoted in his later 1984 hit, Moonlight Lady. (You’re forgiven if you’ve never heard of any of that.)
Sean meets Rosie. Finally.
After hearing so much about the millionaire author from Vasily, Sean thinks he knows what he’s getting into when he sees Rosie for the first time. I can’t say that Vasily didn’t warn him…
Suzanne is getting annoyed with the amount of coffee Sean is drinking.
And with good reason! I went back and counted the number of cups that Sean drinks and quickly decided any normal human being would be suffering cardiac palpitations at regular intervals. (This is where I hastily point out that Sean is a work of fiction — so please don’t follow his example. Or if you do, keep it from your significant other.)
Bungalow? Or apartment?
It’s becoming clearer to me that Sean and Suzanne haven’t quite decided which location is going to be their home — and that, in fact, both spots are still very much in the running. I honestly thought I knew how this was going to work out when the two of them started to date, but now I’m not so sure. I’m open to ideas on this one, people!
All right, that’s it for now! If you haven’t already, please RSVP for the Virtual Book Release on December 20.
