I think I was walking home one day, probably from dropping the boys off at school, when this scene just popped into my head. I envisaged a hysterical woman being thrown over a man’s shoulder into a fireman’s carry to calm her down or shut her up. (I have been put into a fireman’s carry, but that’s another story).
So then, I had to think about why she’d be hysterical, and why would a firefighter be there, or was it something he used to do...
I didn’t want Harry to be a firefighter, as I really wanted him to be a landscape gardener, taking his shirt off frequently, but I liked the idea of him used to being one, troubled with PTSD he’d had to go into something less stressful.
I wanted Harry to be a reluctant hero, but his firefighter quality wouldn’t let that happen. But to be honest, when I came back to edit Meet Me At Wisteria Cottage, I loved Harry, so I hope you do, too.
About the Author
Teresa F Morgan lives in sunny Weston-super-Mare, trying to hold onto her Surrey accent where she originates from.
For years she persevered with boring jobs, until her two boys (and a budgie called Rio) joined her nest. In an attempt to find something to work around them, and to ensure she never endured full time boredom again, Teresa found writing.
Family holidays in Cornwall have lead to the scenic Cornish coastline and the city of Bristol being the back drop for Teresa’s novels.
She’s at her happiest baking cakes, putting proper home cooked dinners on the table (whether the kids eat them or not), reading a good romance, or sitting at her PC emptying her thoughts onto the screen.
Teresa loves writing contemporary romance, stories with a touch of escapism and creating heroes readers will fall in love with.
