Building Worlds Across Continents

The Magic of Collaborative Romance Writing 

They say the best stories come from the heart, but what happens when two hearts on opposite sides of the world beat in perfect creative rhythm? As authors of contemporary rock star romance and contemporary suspense romance, my writing partner and I have discovered that distance means nothing when you're building worlds together. 

Two Series, One Universe 

We're currently deep in what can only be described as a beautiful creative avalanche. Our creative energy flows between two distinct yet interconnected series that have completely taken over our lives in the best possible way. 

The Walker Chronicles spans four books that follow the incredible journey of Michael Walker—a character who's captured hearts before we've even published his story. Michael's path from homelessness to winning a TV talent show and becoming a massive rock star is both heartbreaking and inspiring. He's got the naivety of a golden retriever puppy (my writing partner's words, and her absolute favorite character), but his story tackles real issues with the depth and emotion that contemporary romance demands. 

Then there's our epic Calloway Investigations series—and when I say epic, I mean it. We have 19 books in various stages of preparedness, plus the origin stories that reveal how our beloved characters became the people we know and love. Sol and Jax (my personal favorites) anchor this expansive world, two ex-military lovers who've channeled their skills into opening their own detective agency. Their chemistry crackles with the intensity you'd expect from battle-tested partners who've learned to trust each other with their lives—and their hearts. But they're just the beginning of a much larger tapestry of interconnected stories and characters. 

The Beauty of Long-Distance Collaboration 

Here's where it gets interesting: my writing partner and I live on separate continents, yet we spend four hours together every single day, plotting, building, and breathing life into our characters. Time zones become irrelevant when you're this invested in your craft. We've created our own little universes, complete with complex relationships, intricate backstories, and enough romantic tension to power a small city. 

The magic happens in those daily sessions where we bounce ideas off each other, challenge plot points, and sometimes spend an hour debating whether a character would order coffee or tea in a particular scene. It's collaborative storytelling at its finest, and the results speak for themselves. 

When Worlds Collide 

We became so immersed in our separate series that something inevitable happened—our universes started talking to each other. There was simply no way Michael Walker's world and the Calloway Investigations crew weren't going to cross paths. The characters were practically demanding introductions. 

So, here's what readers can expect: crossover novels in both series. Imagine Michael Walker needing the services of Sol and Jax's detective agency, or the Calloway team getting VIP access to one of Michael's sold-out concerts. The possibilities are endless, and frankly, we're having way too much fun exploring every single one. 

What's Next? 

With four Walker Chronicles books and an impressive 19 Calloway Investigations novels in various stages of production from plotting to writing to editing , plus those crucial origin stories that reveal how our characters became who they are, we're working toward bringing this massive interconnected universe to readers who crave romance with substance. Whether you're drawn to the glitz and vulnerability of the music industry or the gritty, protective world of private investigation, our connected universe offers an extensive journey through love, loyalty, and second chances. 

The beauty of collaborative writing across continents is that every story gets the benefit of two perspectives, two hearts, and twice the passion for getting every emotional beat just right. We're not just writing romance—we're crafting a world where love conquers obstacles, where second chances matter, and where every character gets the happy ending they've fought so hard to achieve. 

Stay tuned for updates on release dates, sneak peeks, and maybe even some behind-the-scenes glimpses of what it's really like to write romance novels with your creative soulmate thousands of miles away. Trust us—it's worth every minute of those four-hour plotting sessions. 

The heart wants what it wants, and ours want to tell these stories
