Note 1: At the end of Season Two of the NBC TV series, The Montecito was destroyed. At the beginning of Season Three, a new Montecito had been built, over a span of what the series said was six months. Gary Scott Thompson, the show’s creator, wanted a novel that explained what the series characters had been doing during the six-month interim. Working together, Gary and I came up with the broad strokes of each character’s story, and I wrote the book. It’s almost unheard of for a TV show to refer back to events described in a tie-in novel, but Gary made sure that some of the events in the novel were mentioned on-air.
Note 2: This novel won the Scribe Award, presented by the International Association of Media Tie-in Writers, for Best Original Novel – General.
