Individual Valentine's Day Stories Out

Feb 08, 2012 11:14

My co-author and I wrote individual short stories last December, exploring some of the side characters that we created in New Amsterdam while writing Hearts Under Fire. It was a lot of fun weaving the various threads of their lives into the places we weren't able to explore in the first novel. It was also fun to coordinate a few of the details in both the stories, to make sure that they felt like they were from the same world, especially since they're both set on the same day: Valentine's Day.

I had a blast researching police procedure for my story, and got quite a lot out of understanding the entire organizational structure for most police systems in large cities. It was also fun to understand exactly what it would be that Sorenson had to when he ran into trouble. I've also been seeing a lot more male nurses at my local healthcare facility, both in the allergy clinic and with my family practitioner, so is nice to be able to write a male nurse.

I hope you enjoy these stories as much as we enjoyed writing them!

deeds, he believes in easing the first by rewarding the second. And this
Valentine's Day, Clark's decides that Jeffrey is long overdue for some sweet
strokes of manmade good fortune.
