It still worked, but I would have loved the chance to re-visit with Daniel and Clara. When that was cut, I had to give the Admiral a son who could get kidnapped instead. So did the plot point of Daniel and Clara’s son being the child who was abducted by the Professor. Bane was still carrying a little bit of a torch for Clara, so that had to go. The feeling was that we did not want to bill this book as a sequel, and with the exception of Bane, they did not want any characters who appeared in The Lady of Bolton Hill to make an appearance.It broke my heart, but I had to delete those scenes. Why didn’t Clara and Daniel appear in this book?ĭaniel and Clara (the lead characters from The Lady of Bolton Hill) were originally major characters in this book, but after careful deliberation, my publisher asked me to write them out. The story of how he breaks off his relationship with the professor is a secondary plot line in The Lady of Bolton Hill. People who are curious about Bane can read about his early life in The Lady of Bolton Hill, where he was a seventeen-year old trouble maker. Although I originally intended it to be the second book in a trilogy, my publisher preferred it to be a standalone book.
