about this book: My books contain settings from the places I've lived, but I'd run out of options since I've only moved a few times in my life. I began to think about the places I'd visited and loved. When I conceived of the idea of the large Crandall family, I wanted an equally large setting.

Then I remembered walking with my brother along the shores of Lake Michigan in Evanston, Illinois, years ago. We'd take his dog for long walks in the freezing cold and enjoyed long talks about our life. He was seventeen years older than me, and we'd never been close until that winter when I visited him frequently after he'd been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Chicago's dog parks were always filled with folks walking briskly with rambunctious dogs happy to be out of their high-rise apartments. His dog, Buddy, had become his best friend during those days when he knew his disease would progress without hesitation. Buddy soothed him and gave him moments of happiness.

So Chicago became the setting for my series and Love on Course starts there but then takes some trips as Turq Crandall and Cindy Crosby try to find out if their relationship deserves a second chance. He leaves his job as a French chef and heads to Italy and Ireland to delve into the cuisines of his heritage. She takes a job in Florida where she seeks to find peace in her life. It starts with sea turtle patrol and a new job.

And then it's back to Chicago for the rest of the story.
