Interview with Bailey Thomas

Series: Mill Creek Mystique

Book: Breaking Point, book three

Genre: Romantic Suspense

How many books have you written and which is your favorite?

I’ve written many stories, from picture book stories to complete-length novels. It wasn’t until later in my life that my husband encouraged me to go after my dream. As of today, I have three published books. I love all my books, but Breaking Point is my favorite.




If you’re planning a sequel, can you share a tiny bit about your plans for it?

The world of Mill Creek is growing. I just signed a contract with my publisher to bring books four and five to life. Kane and Annika’s story will be told in book four, Kane’s Reckoning. We will learn more about Larry Behr in book five, Legally Bound. The best part of this world is there are always more characters who deserve stories.




Do you want each book to stand on its own, or are you trying to build a body of work with connections between each book?

Mill Creek Mystique is a series, so if you read the books in order, you’ll get more background and information about the town and subsequent characters. However, each book can be a standalone read.




How did you come up with the title for your book?

The series is a blend of imagination and my summer trips to our family’s mountain retreat, complete with a rustic cabin––as in no electricity. On our property stood an old mill, and all those images from my childhood came to life when I created the fictitious town of Mill Creek. As for the story title, Breaking Point, its name stems from the emotional journey that my main character, Noah Parker, is embroiled in as his story unfolds.




How long did it take you to write this book?

Five months.




What does the title mean?

See above.




What did you learn when writing the book?

That I’m happiest when I do a mix of plotting and punster.




What surprised you the most?

The initial direction of my plotted story took a drastic turn one night when I couldn’t sleep. I had this revelation about a different ending that I loved. I shot out of bed, immediately wrote it down, and didn't return to bed until I figured out how to weave in this plot change throughout the story.




Have you ever killed off a character your readers loved?

Not yet…




What do you do to get inside your character’s heads?

I use a character worksheet and go through an exercise of interviewing them and see where the answers go.
