A year later than originally planned because the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown sent my writing mojo running for the hills until late in the year. Thankfully, it returned and Book 3 in the It Happened series (It Happened at Perc\u00e9 Rock) will be out this summer.

What’s it all about you ask? Here’s your answer.<\/p>\n

When Melissa Scott flees to the village of Perc\u00e9, she’s determined to leave her painful memories behind her.<\/em><\/p>\n

Gareth Young, a soldier with the Canadian Forces, never got over losing his friend in the war in Afghanistan. Nowadays, he’s happier in his own company than that of others, until she enters his life.<\/em><\/p>\n

Despite her recent breakup and knowing rebound relationships don’t work, Melissa falls head over feet for the handsome military man, only to discover he comes with enough baggage to fill an army cargo plane.<\/em><\/p>\n

Will the couple be able to work through their issues and achieve a happy ending together?<\/em><\/p>\n

Between the Scott and Layne families, there are seven characters for six books with five coming from the Scott family – Christopher, Amy and Michael (twins), Roger, and Melissa.<\/p>\n

Book 1 in the It Happened series starred one from each family – Serenity Layne and Roger Scott, hence the need for only six books in the series.<\/p>\n

Book 2 featured Serenity’s brother Erik and Hilary Dunbar, a Vancouver Police Constable (a very unlikely pairing).<\/p>\n

Roger’s youngest sibling, Melissa stars in Book 3 – It Happened at Perc\u00e9 Rock.<\/p>\n

I’m trying to create movie tie-ins with this series and have managed with the first two books.<\/p>\n

Book 1<\/strong> – It Happened on Dufferin Terrace<\/a> – Miracle on 34th Street<\/em> meets Sleepless in Seattle<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Book 2<\/strong> – It Happened in Gastown<\/a> – Trainspotting<\/em> meets Hot Pursuit.<\/em><\/p>\n

This one is proving to be a bit of a conundrum. I have one movie, but the second is proving more difficult. I need a movie with the main character suffering from PTSD. Currently, I’m leaning towards Beaches<\/em> meets Born on the 4th of July<\/em> but there could be a better one. I’ve searched online without much success.<\/p>\n

If anyone has any suggestions, please leave them in the comments.<\/p>\n

Thanks so much.<\/p>\n

Did I mention dogs have starring roles?<\/p>\n
