 "The Dish" for Simply Irresistible by Jill Shalvis

 When I started this series about three estranged sisters who get stuck together running a beach resort, I decided I was out of my mind.  I don’t have sisters.  I have a brother, and we like each other just fine.  Then at the dinner table that very night, my three teenage heathens started bickering and fighting, and I just stared at them in awe and wonder.

I had my fodder!  “Keep fighting,” I told them -- much to their utter shock, since I’ve spent the past fifteen years begging them to get along.

After that night, it was a piece of cake to write the sisters — Maddie, Tara, and Chloe — their claws barely sheathed, with resentment and affection vying for space. 

So then all that I had left to do was find the three sexy guys who could handle them.

It just so happened that, at the time, my neighbor was having an addition put on her house.  For six glorious weeks, there were a bunch of guys hanging off the roof and the walls, in perfect line of sight of my office.

Which is really my deck.  It’s a wonder I got any work done at all.

So I sat in the sun and wrote while in the background cute, young, sweaty guys hammered, and sawed, and in general, made my day.

And on some days, they even took off their shirts.  Those were my favorite days of all.  But I digress …

I was working very hard, planning out conflicts and plot pacing and trying to nail down my hero.  And given what I was looking at for inspiration, it shouldn’t be any surprise at all that the hero for this first book in the Lucky Harbor series, SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE, turned out to be a master carpenter.

And a very sexy one at that.

I’m actually writing book two right now.  I keep going out on the deck, sitting and patiently waiting, but my neighbor hasn’t hired any more sexy carpenters.  Darn it. 

Perhaps I need a new addition myself!
