10 Interesting Facts About Not Quite Forever 
1. The name of my heroine, Dakota Laurens, was inspired by me twisting around and facing my own library…and picking two names from various authors on my shelf. 

2. Walt wasn’t a planned hero in the series… he just popped up one day and I had to write his story down.  
3. The convention highlighted in this book is loosely based on the size and magnitude of the RT Convention that travels around the country. I have, however, never attended a RT Convention that has taken place in Florida. 

4. I held a party in my suite while at the Kansas City RT Convention and the hotel management threatened to make me leave the hotel. It was 6PM… for crying out loud! LOL 

5. As an ER Nurse in my former life, I have improvised emergency medical equipment for the needs of my patients. (Tape was my best friend) 

6. Dakota’s BFF, Mary… looks a whole lot like my roommate while attending conventions. 

7. The term Bodice Rippers is used by Walt early in the book…and I feel the same way Dakota does when it’s used. Beware! 

8. Conference beverages of choice… Coffee in the AM… Adult Beverages in the PM. 

9. Dr. Walter Eddy’s collogues call him Walt, not Dr. Eddy. Most of the ER MD’s I worked with preferred to be called by their first name.

10. While many of the scenes in this book were loosely based on events I’ve experienced in life…here are a couple that I haven’t but want to. I’ve yet to stay in the Penthouse Suite of a high-rise hotel.  I have yet to fly in a private jet… I’m game, however! I wouldn’t mind that multimillion dollar contract… just sayin’.
