Luke Jackson.
With his thick southern drawl and seductive charm, Luke is the country boy everyone adores. He has his future mapped out, but his plans with Olivia are suddenly derailed when she makes a decision that blindsides him, changing the path they both envisioned.
As Luke struggles to keep everything in check during a difficult time in his life, he must put his trust in the one person who broke it to begin with. The last time they saw each other, Olivia busted his heart wide open, turning him into the man he is today.
When Olivia returns to her roots, just like Luke said she would, he is shocked for more reasons than one. Nine years have passed since they’ve seen each other, and when their roads collide unexpectedly, Luke can only push his worry and misgivings away for so long.
Things are different now—they are strangers—and the rope that once bound Olivia’s heart to South Fork, Georgia is pulling her back in, forcing her to remember how it used to be all those years ago.
What were your challenges with writing Luke or Olivia’s character? What it easy or difficult to get into his/her head?
While writing You’ll Think of Me, I moved across the country. I had taken three months off– and not because I wanted to. At the time, things were so hectic in my life that I couldn’t fit in writing. My family was getting adjusted, I needed to find which schools my kids would be in, have paperwork transferred, find a job, my husband needed to work, and a place to live… there was just so much going on that I wasn’t able to focus. The story was a giant, jumbled mess in my head and it was really overwhelming because I wanted to write, but I just couldn’t. It wasn’t possible and because of that it stressed me out big time.
So I actually didn’t have a difficult time getting into the characters head– I knew what they wanted early on. It was forming their story into the right words that took most of the time. Once I was finally able to start writing again, I was so out of touch with the characters and storyline that it took some time getting back into. I was completely detached from it all. I had to read, and reread what I had written many times. I went back and listened to the music that started it all. But then a few characters popped up that I never planned for… talk about changing up the story and making it all work!
Lucia currently resides in South Florida with her brainy husband and wild kids who drive her up a wall. There’s never a dull moment in her hectic world, but Lucia wouldn’t change a thing. Luckily she has a strong man to stand by her side and combat the craziness with her. YOU’LL THINK OF ME is not her first book, but it’s the first one she’s completed and likes. The others will come at a later date.
