Encore Worth the Wait: behind the scenes
Pages from the notebook I used while writing Encore Worth the Wait. These are the timelines I used as a guide and I constantly referred to them. I don’t outline per se, but I keep notes about scenes that need to happen. For this book timelines were important to chart how Rob and Jamie grew up together and how their relationship changed over the years, and also to chart the trajectory of their group, Poor Forbes.
The notes were written using Frixion erasable pens – and I did a lot of erasing!
⬆︎ Calendar of the key days between Jamie’s birthday and Rob’s birthday in the book’s present day.
⬆︎ List of Poor Forbes albums with singles indicated, arranged by Rob’s age, with notes about when life events happened. I initially titled “The Best Lean Years” as “The Best Least Years” but changed it in the final draft. In the upper left corner is a list of Jamie’s sisters and the difference in age between them and Jamie.
⬆︎ Key events leading up to and after Jamie’s departure, listed by Rob’s age from 48 to Jamie’s 53rd birthday.

Now available! New book: Encore Worth the Wait
It took a long time — and I’m very sorry for not keeping the blog updated in the interim — but at long last the new book is finished!
The title is Encore Worth the Wait.
Description:
Thirty years ago the band Poor Forbes topped the pop charts and graced the covers of fan magazines as part of a heralded “Scottish wave.” Founding members Rob and Jamie never stopped creating music despite the ups and downs of fleeting success and rocky personal relationships. Never stopped — until now. When Jamie suddenly leaves, Rob reluctantly finds a replacement to keep the band going and discovers it’s not the band he misses, it’s Jamie. To get Jamie back Rob confronts their turbulent past and the true nature of his feelings. Ultimately Rob and Jamie must face the question: can they save their music or save their relationship?
