Dear Librarians,

When I started plotting Paper Roses, I knew I wanted one of my characters to be a Texas Ranger. The problem was, no matter how I tried, a Ranger didn't fit into Clay and Sarah's story.

Then came Scattered Petals. The opening scene was the perfect opportunity to introduce a Ranger. I was happy. Lawrence was not. You see, he wanted to be the hero of that book, but I had other plans. Still, I knew he deserved his own story, and so I started asking questions. Why would a man leave the Rangers? And, if he did, how could settling in a small town like Ladreville compare to the excitement of being one of Texas's most revered men? Most of all, what would Lawrence do if he were confronted with a schoolmarm as independent as Harriet?

I hope you'll enjoy finding the answers in TOMORROW'S GARDEN.
