Today we've got Abbie Adams (co-author of A Little Twist) here to talk about the newest book in her "Little" series. Abbie, before we begin, I'd like you to tell us how you came up with the title for this series.
Abbie: Well, I had a few titles in mind for the series, but titling the first book "A Little Training" was quite simple.
There is nothing quite like having a Dominant man looking down on you with “The
Look” and an “I don’t want to hear another word- “little girl.” Who doesn’t
want to be called little? Now the
training part of the title, well that just goes with the plot, although I don’t
feel that a lot of formal training goes on. It is more like an informal training
of just letting go.
Daddy pulled Caity
onto his lap. "Want to tell me what's bothering you?" He cupped her
chin in his hand and tipped her face to
his. "Hmm? Are you upset that Sara is here?"
She sat up straight
and tried to jerk away. "No! Why would I be worried about her?" His grip on her jaw was
firm, and she couldn't get away from his intense scrutiny. "I was hoping
to go back to the river today, but now I'm worried you will be too busy, is
all."
"We'll see
about it. Now, I want you to be a good girl. You will won't you?" He held
her hand as he stood them both up and led her out the door.
She nodded instead
of speaking, unaware she was actually holding her breath. Sara sat there on the couch,
stiffly facing away as if nervous. Caity went right by without a word to her.
Caity pretended to
be hungry and preoccupied, but a huge rock sat in her tummy, and the soft scrambled eggs on her plate did not allure her. She
had to fight herself not to look behind her again; she wanted to watch Sara, to
see if she could read her, tell anything about her thoughts.
She met Livvy's
eyes when she finally came in and sat across the table. Caity would've thought Livvy was unaffected by Sara's presence, if
not for the way her hand shook as she drew her juice to her lips.
"Is Daddy
here?" Livvy asked Uncle Jeremy softly, when he set her plate down.
"Yes, he's in
the office. Why is everyone so quiet this morning?" He looked around the table with a curious face, one eyebrow arched higher
than the other. "Is something going on I don'tknow about?"
"Sara,"
Uncle Matt said, while reaching for more sausage links. It almost came out like
a cough, and Caity
wondered if he was uncomfortable with her arrival as well.
"She's already
eaten," Daddy replied as he sat down next to Caity, then clarified,
"Sara has already eaten."
"Why is she
here?" Caity mumbled, then shrunk a little when Daddy gave her a look.
"She is here
because her daddy has to work and every one of you will be nice to her and behave
as you would like to be treated if you were in her place. And now that you have
all been warned,
there will be severe consequences if you young ladies are of a mind to disobey
in this regard. Do
you understand me?" He eyed each of the girls around the table, one at a
time, until they all
agreed.
Blurb:
Six months of training. Six months to find a placement.
Three years with a Daddy. Fifty thousand dollars. Some girls begged to get into
the program, but not Sara or Caity. They took the "alternative program for
non-violent offenders" when the State of New York's Women's Facility was
full. They became little girls in Trace's program.
Sara was placed with a daddy named Mark when Livvy,
another little girl in the program, had gotten sick because of Sara's jealousy.
Now, after two long months in the program, Sara has to get used to a whole new
set of rules and the man who will enforce them: her Daddy will dominate her and
take care of her in a special way no one ever has before. The witness protection
program can't compare to her "protector".
Caity has been the unwanted child all her life. Her father
hates her and her mother ran away years before. The only family she really has
is her sister, who isn't in the program, yet. But Caity didn't choose her new
Daddy... Will he be able to prove his love, or will he prove he is just like
her real father?
Did Sara and Caity make the right choice, coming to the
program instead of the State Penitentiary? Can they get along when Sara has
taken the man Caity wanted all along? Emily Tilton and Abbie Adams team up to
bring you the much requested story of the "other girls" in this, the
third book in the 'A Little Training' and 'A Little Trouble' series

Good Question. Titles that is. It is really interesting, how authors choose titles. I honestly am a title person, I mean it has to be unique and hook me. So the more creative the better! Fun Fun
ReplyDeleteThanks again, this is great!
Thanks for having me, Kathryn. So much fun. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks to Kathryn for hosting and Abbie for posting! I loved the first two books and look forward to reading A Little Twist! :)
ReplyDeleteI was a little lost with the excerpt, but the blurb made it all clear. Thanks, Abbie!
