So I was given an opportunity to write a sequel in 2017 for my book, Favorite Coffee, Favorite Mistake but it has to be Wyatt and Sandra’s story. I WANTED to write this story years ago. Once I finish my next Morgan book, I’m going to take a small break from the Morgans and visit their cousins to write the story.

The truth is I received my rights back in 2016 to Favorite Coffee, Favorite Crush, but I was knee deep in writing my Morgans that I just had no time to write Sandy and Wyatt. When someone specifically said, ‘write a story that has a wedding as a major plot.’ And I thought ‘heck yes!’ Penny and Jay are getting married and it will be up to Wyatt and Sandra to stop more of Kate’s machinations. I can’t wait to dive into the story and take a small mental break as i formulate book six of the House of Morgan.

In my own life, romance must always remain important. I wish my husband and I were invited to a wedding so I could watch and dance with him. We could find someone to watch our daughter for a night. Finding time to spend alone is pretty next to impossible, and I’m not complaining. A few hours alone though with no responsibility… this sounds sweet. And I’m just in the beginning stages with an amazing daughter.

So in 2017 I have quite a few full load of novels to write as well as watch my daughter grow and sneak one-on-one time with the husband. A few years ago, I never could have imagined this life. Now it’s so amazing and I’m getting that grateful feeling that’s bubbling forth again. So it’s off to write another romance time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How did the author come up with the idea for the Wyatt and Sandra sequel?

The author was given an opportunity in 2017 to write a sequel to Favorite Coffee, Favorite Mistake featuring Wyatt and Sandra. The specific story direction was sparked by a prompt to write a story with a wedding as a major plot element. This led to the concept of Penny and Jay’s wedding, with Wyatt and Sandra working to stop a character named Kate’s schemes.

What happened to the rights for Favorite Coffee, Favorite Crush?

The author received the rights back to Favorite Coffee, Favorite Crush in 2016. However, because she was deeply focused on writing the House of Morgan series at the time, she had no opportunity to pursue the Wyatt and Sandra story she had wanted to write for years. The 2017 sequel opportunity finally gave her a reason to revisit those characters.

Should romance be prioritized when you have a young child and limited time as a couple?

According to the author, keeping romance important remains a priority even with a young daughter and a demanding writing schedule. She acknowledges that finding alone time as a couple is ‘next to impossible’ but still values even a few hours of one-on-one time without responsibility. Balancing parenthood, marriage, and personal passions requires intentional effort but brings deep gratitude.
