They feature in the next two books but as background characters. – There is a second book but it’s not about Sandro and Theresa. Will there be any follow-up to “The Unwanted Wife?” Maybe a novella? Or a second book? He was never a complete jerk and I was hoping that even without his POV, people would be able to tell that he had regrets and that he wasn’t as cold and heartless as he appeared to be.Ĥ. I was hoping they’d stick with the book long enough to see his evolution from monster to loving husband. Were you worried that readers would have a hard time warming up to Sandro? Especially after the way he treated Theresa in the beginning of the book? I’ve lived in Japan for 9 years and still speak THE worst Japanese you could ever imagine.ģ. In truth I’m truly awful at language acquisition. – Not at all! I’m happy if some people thought that I’m fluent in Italian because it means that my language research paid off. With Sandro being Italian, there was quite a bit of Italian being spoke in the book… Do you speak fluent Italian? I chose to feature Rick and Lisa as an established couple in their book.Ģ. I abandoned Rick and Lisa and focused on Theresa and Sandro instead. But I found Theresa and her mysterious, moody husband so much more intriguing than poor Rick and Lisa that I couldn’t wait to come up with a back story for them. Theresa was Rick’s friend and she was the one who introduced him to Lisa. – Well, I started writing Rick and Lisa’s story first.
