I've been an avid reader for 40 years. You are my new favorite romance author! I've managed to find and read most of your books but I still love Slightly Married best of all. It seems more enjoyable when the main characters are working together rather than fighting each other. Many otherwise good stories are spoiled when the characters are mean and angry. I love nice manners. Thank you so much for continuing to write romance. Please don't give it up to write about serial killers as so many of my past favorites have.

I just finished "Beyond the Sunrise" and it was incredible. Your grasp of historical details about the Peninsula War was amazing. I know it must seem like a weird combination, but my favorite authors are yourself and Bernard Cornwell and his Richard Sharpe series. I could not help but think of Cornwell's Sharpe when I read about your Robert Blake. They were both officers who rose up from the ranks, they had distinctive battle scars on their face, they were not handsome but were still irresistably attractive, they were Captains during the battle of Bussaco, they were riflemen of the famous 95th Rifles, and they were one of Wellington's favorites. Did you and Bernard collaborate on "Beyond the Sunrise"? If you did, please keep it up! Your books have never disappointed me. Have safe and wonderful Holiday Season.

I loved the "Slightly" stories and was upset when the brought out Wolfs story in hard back first, since I keep my favorite books and reread them, I like them to be the same. (Okay I keep 99% of the books I get.) But The "Slightly" ones I will reread. I am looking forward to the "Simply" Books. Will they all come out in Hard back first? The Book One night for love is Lauren's Aborted wedding from a Summer to remember, isn't it? I started with Slightly married then went back to a Summer to Remember. I liked Irresistible also. I bought used but have not read yet Silent Melody. It sould be interesting. I usually pick up anything with your name on it so please don't stop writing.

Thank you for notifying me about your updated website. I'm very excited to hear about your new book coming out in April, 2005. I buy your new books as soon as they come out and unfortunately read them in one or two days, and then I have to wait another several months for your next book; I cannot force myself to read them over several days and prolong the pleasure. Either I'll have to re-read older books or you'll have to write faster! Seriously, thank you again for all your books--it is with great anticipation that I wait for April.

Having read the last of the 'Slightly' series I think you could succeed, Mary, in a side line hobby as a match maker. Each Bedwyn married their perfect mate. I thoroughly enjoyed picturing Wulfric being thawed by Christine, although after the dive into a freezing cold lake as part of his courting dance I wonder if 'thaw' was the right word! Congratulations on this very creative series. Each and every one was a most enjoyable read. And the finale touches an entertaining sublime!

My mom says that I'm too young to appreciate your writting, but I really do! I have just finished reading 'Slighty Sinful', and I have to say, Great job! I absolutely loved it, and I am currently reading "No Man's Mistress", so far that one is very good too. I currently have "More than a Mistress" on my bookself and I'm planning on reading it as soon as the other one it finished. Also I'm planning on reading the rest of the Sightly Booksm including "A Summer to Remember" and "Theif of Dreams". Just wondering, but do you have anymore books? I just love reading your romance books, it's like an alternate reality that everyone wants to have.

Dear Mrs. Balogh! I love your books very much, all of them. They are a perfect way to relaxation and positive thoughts. I only wish our publishing companies follow some order in translations. :-) I guess it's some kind of torture to start your series, get emotionally involved - and... wait for sequels, not knowing the end of the story and guessing about characters' fates. Wishing you luck and looking forward to your next books.

Dear Mary, I just wanted to write you a line to say thank you so much for writing your books! I love them! I have been working on writing Regency romances and you are a good one to study from! I also wanted you to know that in finally reading "More Than a Mistress," I do believe you have written one of the best love/sex scenes in any book of romance I have ever read. That first sexual encounter especially. The whole spoken/unspoken conversation between them- their thoughts, hopes, feelings- just amazingly written. I am in awe! Thank you again for sharing your talent with your readers. Best to you and happy holidays to you and your family, Deanna

Dear Mary Balogh, You are cordially invited to write an autobiographical essay for Contemporary Authors, an award-winning reference series providing biographical and bibliographical information on more than 100,000 modern novelists, poets, playwrights, nonfiction, and other writers. Published by the Gale Group, a major reference publisher whose titles include Contemporary Literary Criticism and Dictionary of Literary Biography, Contemporary Authors is marketed primarily to libraries. Each volume of Contemporary Authors contains approximately 325 sketches of writers in various fields and genres as well as three specially commissioned autobiographical essays by important current authors. Each essay, illustrated with personal photographs provided by the author, blends personal reminiscence with reflections on individual works in a way that provides both new insights for the researcher or student and lively reading for those simply interested in learning more about a favorite author. Common topics for the autobiographies include motivations for writing, the people and experiences that shaped their careers, the rewards derived from their work, and their impressions of the current literary scene. We ask for original, unpublished essays of ten thousand words (or approximately forty manuscript pages), although we are prepared to be flexible. In addition, writers supply six to eight personal photographs with the significant people, places, and events of their lives, beginning with a standard head and shoulders portrait of the author. While we request nonexclusive rights to each autobiography, the author retains the right to use the essay at any time and in any form. The author will receive $1000 upon acceptance of the autobiographical essay in addition to the exposure gained throughout the academic and public library market worldwide. Upon publication, the author will also receive one complimentary copy of the Contemporary Authors volume in which their autobiography appears. Many writers have viewed this as a stepping-stone to a larger work, later expanding their essay into book form. Other authors would never consider writing to book length but have found that this essay format serves their purpose well. If you are interested, a sample essay, further details, and a contract can be sent to you. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. (Normally I would provide my phone number, but as your guest book is public, e-mail will have to do.) To find out more about the Gale Group, please visit the Web site at www.gale.com. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Alana Joli Abbott Freelance Editor

Fredya (sp?) was a great woman. When she punched the old lady - I loved it! My Mom, sister, Aunt, and 2 friends have also read the Bedwyn's and everyone just loves them. I also enjoyed Tresham. When Jane made him talk to her like a person and the reaction of all of his friend's to Jane was hilarious. And the way you described his sister's hats was fabulous. Thanks for getting me back into reading again. Your books have provided me with many hours of pleasure.

I don't want to make this note very lengthy but I wanted to tell you how very much I enjoy your Bedwyn series of books. I stumbled across them one day while looking for something to read since Danielle Steel hadn't come out with anything lately. She used to be my favorite author because of her very strong female characters and how they handle adversity and always come out on top. I have found a new favorite now since I have read your "Slightly" series. Even though some of them are the stories of the men in the family there is still a very strong female character. Your emphasis on love and holding firm to ones principles and beliefs is what I enjoy most about you books and have drawn a lot of strength from in the last couple of months when I need it the most. Mine is a very long story indeed but I just wanted to thank you for writing such STRONG female characters and giving me the strength to listen to and follow my heart.

Hi! I find your books enthralling. I am a member of the Baby Boomers (born in 1946), rebellious againest the 50's but now old fashion. I think that men and women are equal BUT DIFFERENT. Women are the heart of the family, the power of the world. Men desperately need women to help them think things through, to cheer them on, to help them lick their wounds, to make them right or to hold them to high moral standards. Women have the talent to be in charge of and responsible for the "us" in relationships which calls for vision and discipline. I look around the world and I see women copying men. And of course, you can't be powerful in someone else's culture. I look around the world and see women living for their own personal interests instead of furthuring the good of the world. It is so refreshing to see the women in your books be powerful as women. If more women were powerful this way, just think how much better the world would be. Fish without mercury? Sustainable farming? Tons of low cost housing? Clean air over the Blue Ridge Mountains? Parenting skills required for every high school diploma? Coporate executive saleries reasonable in proportion to other workers? Let me know what you think, Mary. Thanks, Roberta

It took me a month to read them, and my husband has grown quite jealous of the time I've spent absorbed in your books. You are an extremely creative and talented author. I feel that even though I have been passionately in love with my husband for eleven years, I have truly learned to express that love verbally by reading these books. Thank you!

I really love your books. I'v always said Jane Austen was my favorite author until now. I am a high school librarian and have managed on Amazon.com to find all your books that are out of print so I now have everything you've written. I am rereading the Bedwyn series now and really look forward to the series about Miss Martin's school. Do you plan plots and characters ahead of time or do they develop as you go along? Perhaps a combination. Your characterization is so rich and the plots are complex and different, within the same Regency framework. You have given me a lot of pleasure. Thank you!! As I'm sure many people tell you, I'd like to try my hand at writing but feel very inadequate for such a task. Stephanie Laurens and Mary Jo Putney are my other favorites, but you're the best!

Ms Balogh, I've just finished the e-Book version of Slightly Dangerous and I am so totally satisfied yet ravenous for more. I thought that there was no humanity that could be given to the Wulfric character from the other books but you managed to totally flesh him out to 3 dimensions without ever betraying the character set up in the previous books. I haven't been half as caught up in a romance novel series since I ordered all the Georgette Heyer books and had them shipped overseas from the English publisher! Please keep writing prodigiously! One request: I just love underdogs. I'd love to read of a wonderful love affair between a plain, undersized man meets and has the adventure of his life with a plain, overlooked womwn -- and neither one is an aristocrat or beauty in disguise!!!

I count you among some of my favorite authors, romance or not. I must say that of all your heroes, Jocelyn touched my heart the most. I fell in love with him and was so happy that he found the woman of his dreams. The only quibble I have is that I felt cheated of his declaration of love before the ball where their marriage was announced. Jane announces she's pregnant, they must marry, and then ... nothing. It seemed like it couldn't be a good start to a marriage, but they seemed to get along fine. I had to scratch my head at that one. Either way, I enjoy your writing and hope you continue for a good long while.

Just wanted to drop a brief note to let you know how much I enjoyed the Bedwyn series. I recently finished Slightly Dangerous and while all the characters were memorable, I think I have to say that Wulfric was my favorite. I am glad you gave him a good ending and Christine was just the woman to break his icy reserve and help him feel again as well as fall in love. Thanks so much for a great series, Sincerly, Carol McCarty

I computer goofed, and my message disappeared. So here we go again: I suspect you may be exhausted after dealing with all the Bedwyns, but await your next offering with interest! I introduced a friend to the Bedwyns, and she liked them very much also, but felt Wulfric's story had strong links to "Pride and Prejudice". I have read P and P several times, but had not made the connection until she mentioned it. I also wanted to let you know, in case you were not already aware of it, that PBS is doing a quasi-reality show called "Regency House", starting on Wednesdays in November. I usually avoid reality shows like the plague, but may give this one a shot. The PBS network we receive is KSPS Spokane, Wa.; I do not know what you receive in Saskatoon (though I suspect Detroit), or whether various PBS stations are running it. I suspect they may be. Best wishes, Susan Nimmo. (Now if I can just find out how to sent this properly - and I have also yet to figure out where the "reload" button is to re-read my entry.

I also wanted to let you know, although you may already do so, the PBS is putting out a sort of reality show (I usually can't stand them, but thought I would give this one a shot) on Wednesdays in November, called "Regency House". In it they take people from the present day, and put them in a situation where they are living and coping with possible romances under Regency conditions.

All of a sudden, BAM, I'm thinking of him with sympathy and aching for him to say the right things! But it wasn't unbelievable at the same time. It was perfect! Thanks! The thing I really wanted to tell you was that you should write Christine's sister Eleanor's story! She really intrigued me and I would LOVE to read about her story. How much better could it get? A wounded woman who thinks she's lost to love, content to spend the rest of her life taking care of her mother?! It's perfect! I hope you think about it!! Thanks again!

Thanks so much for the time and effort you have put into writing your fine books. I've begun reading romance novels again, after not looking at them for about 30 years. I have been seeking authors who give more psychological depth to their characters. I also have a tolerance for moral ambiguity which seems to exceed that of some of the genre's conventions. The online reviews in "All About Romance" alerted me to your existence and sent me to your books. I have been so entertained by them, but have also conceived an intellectual admiration for the way they are made (though the making appears quite seamless, let me assure you). eBay has helped me get my hands on "Dancing With Clara," "A Precious Jewel," and "The Secret Pearl." Of the books I've read by you, these three seem to me deserving of particular praise & thanks. With each, once I tore open the package from that day's mail, and opened the book, I could not put them down. Each also brought me to tears, so I was not only admiring the character development, pacing and clear, unaffected and nearly transparent writing style, I was also emotionally wrenched by them. (I believe the last chapters of "The Secret Pearl" made me use the most Kleenex.) So this is a thank you for being a living reproof to any remnants of literary snobbery I've had during the past 30 years regarding romance novels. I used to think, in the 1970s, that they were entertainment fit only for my genteel grandma & great aunts. Was I ever wrong! It has taken me 30 years to get over that misconceived prejudice. I am glad your books were waiting for me, as a sort of treat. I look forward to your future work as well.

Slightly Dangerous was the best out of the whole series. I could not wait to read it since I first read the excerpt in the back of Slightly Sinful. I usually by my books in paperback but the book was special. It was great how you built his character up through the series. I hope we will see the Bedwyns again in the future. Maybe a family reunion or maybe when his son is grown and ready for the dukedom.

I loved the Bedwyn Series!!! A friend at work was reading Morgan's story on her lunch break and she spoke very highly of the other books and made a suggestion that I read the series. I read them all except Wulfric's story (which I'm reading right now) within a week. I plan to buy the series for my own collection so that I may enjoy them over and over. Ms. Balogh I want to say you do know how to tell a great story!!!

Hi! Having read all the Bedwyns' stories, I was very excited today to be able to finally lay my hands on Wulfric's story . I spent 4 hours fiercely devouring the book and would say that it is the best yet. It made me think that I was in love with wulfric..haha...The book was really heartwrenching at parts, funny and so much more. I have enjoyed it immensely despite the fact that I will be having exams soon and should be studying today =(. Your writing is really irresistable. One thing is that it could have been a longer book and also to allow us to see more of the "Wulfric" side of Bewcastle. Thanks for granting me the pleasure of ur addictive writing

Dear Mary, I took a chance on finding your website and am delighted to have found it the first time. My eldest daughter, who lives in Fairbanks, and I have been sharing your books for at least a year. I sent her the latest for her recent birthday, and she's going to give it back to me for mine! She's even started sending for used copies of the older ones. My one complaint is that I lose a lot of sleep by staying up too late reading your books. We're about to begin sharing with the youngest of the 5 daughters, who lives in Seattle. She says her baby is now sleeping through the night and she can once again do some recreational reading. All of us are great fans of Jane Austen, and read other Regency romances, but so far we find yours to be the best of contemporary publications. Thank you! Lory Hahn

Hello I came to your books from a slight angle. I have become a fan of Jenny Sterlin's work for Recorded Books through the Mary Russell stories & decided to listen to other things she had done. "More Than A Mistress" was a delight so I went looking for more & found the Bedwyns. Huzzah! That family is one of the most delicious collection of characters I've ever had the good fortune to encounter. (I couldn't wait for Wulfric to melt & a long time he was about it too!) To come full circle, it would be a delight to hear what Jenny Sterlin could do with them. Can't you just hear her raging Freyja or nailing someone to the wall with a vocal icicle as Wulfric? Any chance of it? I thank you for many hours of enjoyment as a silent observer of the Bedwyns. Maybe the Bedwyn women could start a matchmaking firm. They were certainly of help to their brother. Thank you again. Sincerely Janet

All your books are wonderful and I have absolutely enjoyed the Bedwyn series. There are certain characters that jump out at you and seem to beg for their own story. One of these characters is from one of your other books, Lady Muir. Her husband fell tragically from a staircase and several times she is said to have had a "love match". I sense a mystery here or maybe I am reading too much into her character. At any rate I would love to read her story. I am looking forward to your next book and until then will have to reread those books I have already read.

When I first read the Bedwins' book, Aidan's story I was fascinated by another member of the family; Wulfric. He reminds me of another character as fascinating as him, The Count of monte Cristo. Not the Edmond Dantes from the movie but the original one, Alexandre Dumas's character. Their coolness, they almost look emotionless. But that's only a disguise for their real hearts. Hearts full of passion, desire and in The Count if Monte Cristos' case, love, hate and revenge. Being in Brazil makes a little hard to get the new releases, but I believe that next month I'll be able to read Wulfric story and I'm sure it'll be as memorable as Edmond Dantes' story is.

I don't remember what year I discovered you, Mary, but I've read each one of your books. I have enjoyed each one, and I am rather sorry that your Bedwyn series is complete (although there are a few unmarried non-family characters yet). I read very quickly, so a book takes me about three-four hours, but I am also a very fussy reader. Not all romance writers write well, but you do. When I say some don't write well, I mean that their sentence structure, word choice, or flow gets in the way of the story because I notice the choppiness or awkwardness... I buy your books as soon as I see a new one, because your style is transparent, letting the story and the characters shine through. Your characters are complex and layered, as are real people. I enter quite thoroughly into the settings you create. Thank you for the pleasure--the escape for a few hours--into another good-always-triumphs world. The fact that you live "next door" also motivates me to read your books---only brave, hardy souls know the truth about the Canadian prairies: there's no better place in the world to call home! Keep your wonderful stories coming!

Love your books. Favorites are Indiscreet, Longing and Slightly Dangerous. I have managed to acquire all but one of your backlist, and I'd love to know why you don't strike a deal to get them reprinted (lots of folks are getting rich on your work). BTW, you look more like my sister's sister than I do, and she takes after Evans branch of my family (she has the same deep-set eyes, nose and thin lips). I think one of the reasons I enjoyed Longing so much was the portrayal of the Welsh "character" and society. It was like reading about my grandmother and several of my aunts---spotless houses, dinner ready and hot no matter what time the men got home, the hard work, the pride and family loyalty, and my dad had all the facial features AND the black hair and widow's peak.... Anyway, I just wanted you to know that you are amongst my favorite romance authors, and I have excellent taste (grin). Amy, who also taught English several decades ago

I bought Slightly Dangerous the day it came out and finished it the next day. Heaven would be having a new Mary Balough book to read every day. I have attempted to find some of your older books on line and enjoy them as well. Your books are like old friends, at least once a year I read them all again.

I started reading your Bedwyn series and have enjyoed it very much and will wait for Sightly Dangerous to come out in paperback. I have piced others of your books that are in series. I just finished "Truly" and wondered if there are others with those characters that continue that story line. I very much enjoyed the Wales setting and the Rebecca Riots period.

Although I have not read any of your books, I first saw one of the more recent books in a bookstore here in the states.

My father is Hugarian born and has lived in the USA since 1939 when he was 15. We pronounce the name quite different as did his sister and husband who just happened to have the same name.

I love your books. Some of your characters have really spoken to me. But something has been driving me crazy. I could have sworn I read a short story about the Bedwyns many years back. I remember reading about a Ralf and Judith (posing as a Claire), but the story took place at Ralf's home during the winter. The reader met a few of the numerous siblings. I'm usually pretty good at remembering books I've read and the author that wrote the story. I clearly remember a Freya and a younger brother with a name like Allen. Just let me know if I'm crazy?

Just finished reading Slightly Dangerous and couldn't put it down. Wulfric's story was great. I ve read all the series except Alenye's. This was the best of all. Couldn't get a good handle on Gervase in Slightly Tempted and Freya was hard to like. But they all seemed more likeable in this book (even Freya) I ve read many of your books and look for some of your earlier books but don't know where to find them. The one book I disliked of ALL was No Man's Mistress/I couldn't feel that she was good enough for him. I almost didn't finish the book. No matter her reason's for her past she just didn't come across right to me. Just my feelings, but isn't it wonderful that you can get a rise out of someone with your writing. I will keep looking for your older books ( re read some of them every once in a while) and look forward to reading more from you. My next best authors besides yourself are Amanda Quick/J.A.

Dear Mary, I Read Slightly Dangerous. I must say at first I did not know what to think of Christine Derrick. I realize that she was not suppose to follow through like the usual heroins but she did seem slightly bizzare for a twenty nine year old. However, I fell in love with her when she went to Lindsey Hall and made her entrance with the little girl in her arms I thought that was so touching. I was holding my breath however, wondering what would happen next, but thank goodness nothing did to change my new found likeness for her, after all, she was to be my favorite brother future duchess. I am also glad that it took the siblings to bring them together because I was getting tired of my beloved warm loving helpful kind Wulfric begging someone who was not even in his class although perfect for him to marry him. Thank you for a beautiful series of the Bedwyns. I hope We will be reading of their children in the future to see how they turned out. Thanks again. Hyacinth Crichlow hyacinthvc@aol.com

Like so many others, I have discovered your books only in the last year or so and have read all I can get my hands on. To list my favorites would take take far too long; however, A Summer to Remember is one of them, except for one thing that nags at me each time I read it. That is everyone's assumptain that Sydnam Butler's artistic career is over. He still has one good arm, and has taught himself to write and ride. His art may not be the same as it was before, it might be even better. If you do decide to give him his own story, I hope he meets someone who'll give him a swift kick in the bottom and re-open that part of his soul.

Dear Mary: I did not write after buying Slightly Dangerous early in June because I have wanted to savour the story and let it settle in my mind for awhile. I have since read it an additional 4 times! I really, really enjoyed your story this time. There was something so profound about the two lovers and I was deeply touched by their story for some reason. Don't listen to anyone's criticism....I think this story is one of your best and I have read just about everything you have ever written (over and over again - You are my favorite author). You have such a way with feelings, deep feelings and I think you get better and better with each book. When I finished this story, I just held the book for a few minutes and sighed. In a world that sometimes you think has gone crazy, I feel you radiate a little bit of light. Take care and all the best to you Mrs Balogh.

I have just finished reading Slightly Dangerous and I thoroughly enjoyed it, which surprised me a little, as I did not particularly care for Wulfric in the previous "slightly" novels. However, I am now "slightly" in love with him, as most of this book's reader probably are. I think you hit the nail right on the head with your portrayal of Wulfric in love - he behaved exactly as one would expect, and the moments where he let his emotions shine through his facade (the dovecote, the ball), felt like intimate glimpses into his true self. I have been a fan of yours since "Heartless" and look forward to enjoying your next book.

Slightly Dangerous is one of the best novels, (not just romance novels), that I have read in a long time. Staying up until 2am reading is okay if you do not have to get up at 5am. It's a good thing I have cooling eyecream for bags and dark circles. I would love to write a romance novel one day. I 've started one already, but I read alot more than I write. Many blessings and keep up the excellent work. Thanks, Stazel

I have been a fan of yours ever since readng Heartless. I have read all of your books and thoroughly enjoy the combination of well drawn characters, human fraility and emotion, humor and how each couple ultimately triump. Sometimes I think your plots are a little contrived, but the "Love ultimate prevails over misunderstanding" outcomes are very uplifting. Keep on writing. You give me many hours of pleasurable reading and rereading.

Dearest Mary, I have truly relished your stories on the Bedwyn family. I almost cried when I completed 'Slightly Dangerous' I'm just not ready to give them up. As a talented author I'm in high hopes that you can spin a new web and continue the Bedwyn's, perhaps through their children. I'd be the first in line to purchase anything new offered. You never left a stone unturned and from "A Summer To Remember" to "Slightly Dangerous" you continued to give updated information on all the siblings. You made that family my family, however fable, very near and dear to my heart. I am an avid fan of reading and now and forever a devoted fan of yours. Please consider to continue the Bedwyn's, and perhaps leave hint here if those considerations are possible. I'm sure I am not the only fan in such hopes. Thank you again for your extraordinary talents as an author. I admire the enchantment within your mind and your ability to share it's worth. Your's truly, Tammy Carlisle

The two stores I buy my books are Target & Walmart, both walking distance for me, aren't carrying your hardback, so when a neighbor offered a ride to the library I thought I'd look for it there. I was told it was out & I could put it on hold. They have 25 copies, more than any other book & I was 111th on the list. 2 weeks later I am 85th out of 113. I have to say this last Bedwyn has to set a record. I have reread a Night of Love on to all the rest of the Bedwyns already. Every December, I reread all the Christmas ones I have. Can't get emough of your books. Keep it up.

I understand if you want to take a break from them, but please consider continuing your historical romances. Many authors are now writing about Victorian and Edwardian times. I have enjoyed those almost if not as much. But anyway, I am a big fan of your writing and wish you were going to be at the RWA convention in Dallas next week. I will be there to meet some of my favorite authors on July 28 at the Book Signing. Maybe you'll be there after all and I can say hi! Best wishes, Linda Exum

I have to toe the party line and say that the Bedwyns are the most fascinating of your books yet. When I got Slightly Tempted, I stayed up til 7am reading it cuz I kept thinking "just one more chapter" until I finished it! I like Freyja best, though. I just forked over 15 bucks to get Dark Angel on half.com (great used books); it's so hard to find and I've read the other books in that series and it's been driving me nuts that I can't get that one. I must say that yours are the romances that got me started reading them through from the beginning (make that the only ones I read at all anymore)! I used to just flip through to find the "good" parts (well, I was only 12 at the time-I like to think that at 25 I'm more mature now). Silent Melody was the turning point. I just couldn't flip through that one. I have such an appreciation for good romance plots now, thanks to you. Can't wait for the next series. Any characters from the Bedwyn books are ones I'd like to see more about! Sorry if I babbled. I'm told I talk too much.

Wouldn't it be interesting for the two to meet up in the future? Both have had to overcome many difficulties in their young lives and could help each other heal.

Now I'm wondering -- will we ever meet Kit's brother, Syd, again?

I have never written a fan letter, however, there's obviously a first time for everything. I stumbled upon your Bedwyn series a few months ago and fell in love with Wulfric the minute little Becky backed onto his lap. There was no way I was going to wait until March to purchase his book. I've been anxious about whether the book would be a disappointment - make an unbelievable leap from him having a slightly cold personality to being a misunderstood softie. But at the same time, I couldn't figure out how you could write a whole book about him without changing his character. This is why you write and I read! Slightly Dangerous is fantastic, it reminds me of my favorite book - Pride & Prejudice but I think I enjoyed it more because you gave us Wulfric's thoughts, something you don't get with Darcy. Believe me I could go on - but lucky you - I won't! Thanks for a great read, I know I'll be reading it again. Best Wishes for Continued Success!! P.S. I hate to give them up, I hope you are planning something, a book on Christines's sister, Kit's brother, anything, as long as we can catch a glimpse (or two or three)of what's happening with the Duke & Duchess of Bewcastle and their clan!

I finally got "Slightly Dangerous" from my local library and stayed up most of the night reading it. I LOVED IT!!!! I was so thrilled that Wulf found someone who would let him out of his self-imposed dignity. Christine was thoroughly charming and Wulf was so endearingly unsure of himself that the book made me feel as if I had just made new lifelong friends. Thank you! Debbie Easterwood

i've been a fan since "more than a mistress" and have read past and present books. i've finished reading "one night for love"...again, and wonder if you have ever thought of writing a story about Joseph Fawcitt, Marquess of Attingsboough, cousin to Neville Wyatt, Earl of Kilbourne. i think he'll make a wonderful story.

I have read thousands of books over the years, but I must say that I looked forward to reading Wulfric's story more than anything. I wondered how you would be able to make him unbend enough to fall in love. YOU DID A MARVELOUS JOB! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK! Keep up the wonderful work, you have certainly brought something special into my life. With Much Respect, Anjanette

Dear Mary Balogh, I have just finished reading the Bedwyn saga and I really LOVED it. The story could have gone on for several more books and I would have enjoyed them all. I really did like the way that you ended with Wulfric and Christine. They were perfect for each other and the ending of the saga. The Bedwyn series is one I will let my daughter read and when I get them back, I may even read them again. I was lucky enough to meet you at the Waldenbooks in Sterling, at the Dulles Town Center a couple years back. I wish we could have another signing there so you and the other authors could come back. I have enjoyed your books so much and will watch for the next one to come out. One on your fans, Susan Ortolani ottosue@aol.com

You are by far my favorite author writing today. What I like best about your books is the emotional intensity and pain of the characters - the heroes are sensitive, vulnerable, and yet still very masculine, men. The heroines overcome huge emotional obstacles in their pasts but refuse to give up or settle - they always maintain their integrity. My favorite books are Heartless and A Precious Jewel, but my all-time favorite hero is Wulfric. Are there any plans to bring old titles back into print? I would like to have every title in my collection.

I could not disagree more with Margaret McLean from Denver Colorado that wrote Slightly sinful was a disappointment! I found it to be bursting with humor and fun, and just could not put it down, like all the other books I have read so far. It fits perfectly within the image of Bedwyn siblings and I could not expect more of it. Wonderful book indeed, but Wulfric's story does take all the glory, well worth waiting for. And just a suggestion. Some of your readers may not be lucky enough to start reading your latest novels, like the Bedwyn series in certain order, and the books do follow one another. I was fortunate enough to be reading them in perfect order, they seemed to fit perfectly in that order. Thank you for being such a fantastic writer. In waiting of your new books I will have to resort to your older ones and I am hoping they will be as exciting and fun as the newest ones are.

Mary, I confess I was slightly afraid ;-) of what I would find in Slightly Dangerous. I've delighted in all the hints you gave us along the way on Wulfric and there was so much potential there... I feared (slightly) that I may be disappointed. Well, I was not! Not at all!!! I really loved what you did with him; how he remained himself, with all his complexity; how he, the powerful Duke of Bewcastle, finds himself completely powerless facing his heart's desires, and each times gives in and does what his Dukeness shouldn't let him do. I would have loved more physical interactions between them, but I realise how it wouldn't fit both characters. Christine is nothing if not consistent in her refusal of him, Wulfric doesn't know how to express his love, least of all physically. I always keep in mind the scene between him and Becky in Freyja's story (I think), and his deep unease at having this little morcel of human tenderness on his lap. So revealing! Thank you for all the serie. I haven't been a faithful commentor, but I have been a faithful reader. And, as others before me, I look forward reading the story of all the "left-over" characters in this serie and in the Mistress one. Sylvie.

Dear Mary, I have so enjoyed your stories for a long time now. I have especially enjoyed the "Slightly" series, both for the the fascinating Bedwyns you've created and the continuity of intertwined stories and characters. I always did like your Signet regency novels with the characters who carried over storylines like "Dark Angel," "Lord Carew's Bride," and "The Famous Heroine." I love the humor as well as the love stories. If possible, please urge your publishing house to reissue some of your earier novels. I was pleased to have last year's "Under the Mistletoe" with its new and old stories. Maybe a valentine book? Finally, I must have read your newslater too late, because it stated a June visit to Chicago. I would like to attend a workshop of yours, or even a booksigning -- I live in Indiana. Is that over?

What I did want to mention is that I had to special order this book and that it isn't in the stores here at all. (Indigo/Chapters/WHSmith/Coles). It could be that Canada has a later release date than the US and that's why. I've talked to quite a few people (BC, Alberta, Ontario) on some romance Bulletin Boards and it isn't out there yet EITHER. I just thought you may wish to know this in case there is something your publisher can do about it. Sincerely, Peggy Mitchell

Have just finished SLIGHTLY DANGEROUS and it was a fitting ending to the Bedwyn series. It was very clever to pair Wulfric with a woman who was no "High Ton" and to see him experience the frustrations of "ordinary folk". Are there any plans to put this series on audiotape? I have enjoyed many of your books via this medium. The narrators always bring the characters to life. I was happy to read that you will write another series of books featuring characters we have met before. Thank you again for the many hours of reading pleasure your books have given me. Best wishes, Joan Shumsky

Dear Ms. Balogh, My 90 year old mother wants me to tell you that she cannot die until she has read all of the large print editions of the Slightly series. Since Dangerous won't be out in large print until the middle of August, according to Amazon, and they haven't even hinted at Sinful's large print date, it looks like she will likely be around to celebrate her 91st birthday in December. Please hurry up your governess series to keep her going! On another subject: If you want your characters to have much to do with horses you should know that the "modern" sidesaddle that allowed women enough security to gallop and jump was not invented until Victorian times. During the Regency era and earlier the sidesaddle was extremely treacherous, having one or two horns to steady the right leg but nothing to secure the left leg other than a slipper stirrup, and it was meant mainly for slow gaits on dependable horses. I believe Jane Austen's friend Mrs. Lloyd died of a head injury after falling from her horse, and after riding a bit myself in an antique "old fashioned" sidesaddle I'm not sure why any woman would have put up with the things. I have also ridden in the late-nineteenth century version of the sidesaddle, which has the addition of a horn curving around the left thigh. This is very secure because the rider just needs to pinch her thigh muscles together and she has more security than a strong man would in a cowboy saddle. Although English law and custom was rather severe on ladies who wanted to ride in men's saddles, there are a number of 18th century paintings of prominent European women riding astride. Of course, an empress can get away with more than the average lady. Thanks again for great entertainment!

Dear Ms. Balogh! Just finished your Slightly Sinful book and I regret to say it was a disappointment. I have read all the Slightly books and this one is the least engaging, least interesting. Where the Morgan's story in Slightly Tempting was sexy and smart and sensual, the Alleyne's story never hung together for me. Low class 'ladies of the night' masquarading as Society Ladies and spouses of military officers (you must know that English society is separated by accents and speach and dialect is an immidiate class identifier)? A respectable 'well born' lady jumps into bed with a total stranger on a whim with no reason, no real temptation to do so (when Morgan did the same in Slightly Tempting she at least was under stress of war and gore of an 24/7 hospital shifts)? A supposedly experienced man not knowing that he is deflowering a virgin (how inexperience must have he been)? It was all a bit hard to take. Granted, romantic fiction is an intentional escape from reality but before you can escape, you must 'buy-into' the plot, this plot was impossible to accept. The final straw for me was when Alleyne finally regains his memory and proceeds to sit on his hands for weeks pondering what to do next in Bath, when he left his sister Morgan in danger in Brussels two months earlier. As close as Bedwyns are, it seems incongruent that Alleyne would not be concerned about his sister enough to at least attempt to make sure that she is safe. I suppose I could never conjure up Alleyne as a romantic hero when in all prior 5 Bedwyn books (6 if you count the Summer to Remember) he was a devil-may-care easy going uninvolved young man. Better Luck Next Time, Ms. Balogh. I love your books but this one is not your best. Can we expect something as inchanting as A Summer to Remember any time soon?

There were time I wanted to cry, and I wasn't sure what kind of woman Wulfric would fall in love with, but she was perfect. This book was perfect. I kept going back and reading excerpts from it and this one i definitely have to buy it!

Mary, You are such a wonderful writer! I love the "Slightly" series so much! In fact, my mum gives me a hard time about reading "trashy romance novels" when she sees me reading any of them. Obviously she has never read a well written book in her life! It is the perfect combination! Romance and Historical fiction! (My favorite times to read about are late 1700s to early 1900s.) I wanted to tell you that I think the idea of having all of them with "Slightly" in the name after "A Summer to Remember" was a great idea! It really ties them together and it actually FEELS like a family [of books] lined up on my book shelf! I particularly like "Slightly Tempted" as Morgan is the only one even remotely close to my age. Finally, I love their names! They are beautiful and very unique. However, I would really like to know if I am pronouncing them correctly. Could you please let me know how to pronouce them all?! Thanks a million!

Dear Ms. Balogh, I want to thank you for doing what you do! I have always loved to read but have always read books that were under my reading comprehension. Mainly because I didn't think I could read the sort of book you write. However, one day when I couldn't find anything in the "teens" section of the bookstore, I moved on. Your book "Slightly Scandalous" caught my eye...simply because it was purple! I have always thought purple was an important color, probably the reason it is my favorite color, and this was my proof! This book changed my life! I have never read another book in which I connected so strongly with the characters! Since reading that marvelously purple book, I have read the entire series up to "Slightly Siful" which I actually finished yesterday, and I have read all of them through "Slightly Scandalous" twice! As soon as I find "Slightly Dangerous" I will barrel through it. Thank you so much! You are a fantasic writer! Congradulations on your continued success! PS: I can't wait for your next books!

The first book I read was "No Man's Mistress", I then read the follow up, before I found "A Summer to Remember." That was about a month and a half ago. Since then I have purchased and read what I consider the entire series starting with, "One Night to Remember" and ending with "Slightly Dangerous" which I purchased three days ago and finished yesterday evening. I love your writing, your style, and the your characters. I could not wait to read about Wulfric after getting to know him through the rest of the Bedwyn's stories. I wondered how you would write a romance about a character who was always so formal, so proper, and so in control of himself. It was wonderful. If I could say I wanted to read about anyone else, it would be Kit's brother. The one that is Wulfric's steward. I would love to see you do something with him before you completely close out the series. He was such a wonderful character, a man with so many possibilities and so much to offer. If you ever get the idea to do the book I'll be one of the first in line. I'm hooked and forever a fan! It's my mission now to see about getting some of the books you wrote in 1995 and 1997, I didn't even know they existed until I looked at your Backlist and now I'm on a mission. Thanks for the words. I'm read a book or two a day when I'm not writing (I recently joined the Romance Writers of America and am on a journey to publish my own books). You are an inspiration, hats off to you and much continued success.

Hello Mary ~ I first stumbled on your book 'More Than a Mistress' some time ago. It was very well written, and I bought 'No Man's Mistress,' and 'A Summer to Remember' as well. Yesterday I returned to my sanctuary, and saw your hardcover 'Slightly Dangerous.' Without placing you in my memory, I read for five hours straight, and finished the book past midnight. They had to kick me out of the bookstore. It was very well written and engaging! I thoroughly enjoyed your humor, and your characters. I was taken aback by the fact that I read the last of six books, but I'm going back to the beginning with 'Slightly Married.' I'm looking forward to the journey! Thank you for sharing your love for writing, for letting us enter into your world. Thank you for the humor and the lightness of your style. p.s. I only buy hardcover books, since I believe they are very well worth the writing in it. I wish hardcover was available for all your books, but usually the paperback is all that's left if the book is older then six months. Just putting it out there that hardback is appreciated very much! ^o^

Hi I am a big fan who owns all your books. Got Slightly dangerous in the mail and dropped everything to read it. It was wonderful. A perfect ending to the series. I thought those two were a match made in heavon. I wondered who you could possibly find who would suit Wulfric and somehow you managed to get it just right without changing the character we had all come to love from the other books in the series. Part of the reason I love your work is you seem to grasp the fact that relationships take work and companionship is the most important thing in making them work. Anyway the book surpassed all my expectations (and they were pretty high!). I can't wait for the next series or book though I will miss the Bedwyns a lot.

Mary, I love to read!! I enjoy fiction and non fiction but had never read an historical romance. With 3 young kids I rarely found the time to read. Then a few summers ago I was at the library looking for something just fun for the summer. That's when I picked up just what I was looking for A Summer To Remember! I loved it and became hooked!! I have since read many romances by many authors, but I love your books! I have read them all! I loved the Bedwyn series and just finished Slightly Dangerous! It was great! I just wanted you to know that I appreciate all the hard work that you put into your books. Though I'm sure you love to write, I know that it is alot of work. Thank you for your stories and for the enjoyment that you give through them. I can't wait for your next series! Thanks again, Cathy Bettner P.S. A Summer To Remember is still my favorite book of all! I recommend it to anyone who asks!

The Bedwyn's series, I love them. You need to do books on there children, and there extended family. I haven't read SLIGHTLY DANGEROUS yet. Since being overseas we do get the books as quickly as in the states, but as soon as I see I will pick it up.

To everyone who is complaining about the hardcover price. If you were a publishing company wanting to make money off of Mary's books, would you not lure her fans in with $7 books, and then push up the price of the book EVERYONE has been waiting for? Its not Mary's fault. books are a dirty buisness, like so many others. Mary has little control over the prices of her books. SIGNED, Someone in the book biz

Dear Ms. Balogh, I ran to the bookstore on June 1st to get my copy of "Slightly Dangerous". I was so excited to finally read Wulfric's story. I stayed up all night reading and I can only say without any doubt... I LOVED THIS STORY.... you did an absolutely wonderful job!!!! I loved Christine and felt that she was a wonderful match for him. THANK YOU... for doing him justice. My only complaint is that it was too short... I could have kept on reading... and reading...!! You are a master storyteller. I love your books. Thanks again, Elli

I have just finished reading 'Slightly Dangerous.' What a big disapointment to pay $21.95 for a book that should have cost only $7.00. I am a fan of Mary Balogh's novels, but this book was definitely not worth $20.00! Wulf's story was pretty boring. I thought that he deserved a more charming and exciting heroine. Christine was recycled from previous Balogh books. I did not find her to be unique in the least. The entire plot of the story was just so average. I think that Ms. Balogh ran out of plot ideas by the time she started Wulf's story. Oh well, overall I enjoyed the entire Bedywn series and recommend all of Ms. Balogh's earlier fiction novels.

I will miss the Bedwyn's. What full, colorful characters they are! I know they will have cameos in the Nanny series, but perhaps all the Bedwyn's children need a story of their own (just some wistful thinking from a devoted fan). Thank you so very much for your wonderful stories. Before Wulfric, Freyja was my favorite. Now it's a tie. Hurry Nannies, hurry! With Sincere Thanks, Laurie Camody

Hi Mrs. Balogh, I just finished reading Slightly Dangerous and I loved it. Wulfric's characterization was perfect. I liked Christine very much also. What a way to end a great series. I'm not knocking any other author but there was another series with a patriarchal-type brother with many siblings whose stories all came before his. The other author's last book in the series about the eldest brother just didn't have the impact of Slightly Dangerous. Thanks for writing such a beauty of a book. Emily Bellofatto

Very much looking forward to reading Wulfric's story. Am I naive, or is anyone else shocked by the fact that Karen Robard's found the title "Irresistible" to be irresistible? How common is this? I was very annoyed to see a novel with the same title in the same genre. I admit that I don't read much romance at this point in my life, EXCEPT Mary Balogh, as I have written many times, I greatly admire your work, and will never stop reading it. So perhaps this is a common practice. But I can't say that makes me like it any better. grumble, grumble. Still working on my own novels, by the way, with original titles. Thank you, Ms. Balogh, for your wonderful, original novels!

Ms. Balogh, I just wanted to tell you what a great fan of yours I have become since I first read your book in January of this year. I have only started reading historical romance novels two years ago, and since I have read them non-stop :) I came across your name on one of the romance novels message boards. Some of the authors and readers on this boards mentioned your name, and have nothing to say but good things about you and your books. Naturally, I went to the book store and bought "Slightly Tempted". And as "they" say, whowever "they" are :), the rest is history.... In addition to the Bedwyns series, I have also read the two "Mistresses" series, "One Night for Love", as well as "Summer to Remember". I love your writings, and I adore your characters. I cannot wait for Wulfric's story. Though I have yet to read 'his own story', he is one of the most intriguing characters in any of romance (I read you like to think of your books as "Love Story" rather than "romance novels"?) novels I've ever read. Before I conclude this very long guest book entry :( I'd like to ask you one question I have had since I read "Slightly Sinful". I had been waiting to read Alleyne's story since I read Morgan's story. I longed to know where he was, and what happened to him. Most of all, I longed for his reunion with his family for though I didn't know he was going to lose his memory when I was reading Morgan's story, I knew how much his family missed him. I have to tell you that the 'scene' where Morgan (without Wulf knowing) caught Wulf sobbing against the mantel is ONE of the MOST memorable and moving 'scenes' in any books I've read. After all that, I have to say that when I read Alleyne's reunited with his family, though I still cried reading it, I was "Slightly" :) disappointed. OK, as one of your biggest fans, I hope you're not going to be offended on what I am about to say - the truth was - I was VERY disappointed. I understand the storyline of Alleyne losing his memory, and that the book is about Alleyne and Rachel. But his family is a HUGE part of who he was before he lost his memory, who he is when remembers, and who he will be - ever. And as touching as the reunion was, it was too short and too blad, I thought, and very anti-climatic. Please know that this changes nothing on how I feel about you and your writing. Anyway, as much you'd like to listen to what your fans have to say, you're the one who knows these characters the most. So, my question is - was it conscious decision not to make the reunion a big deal? Anyway, I apologize for any assumptions I've made in making this observation, but it is something I have been wanting to convey :) Anyway, sorry for the long entry, but I have wanted to write you for awhile, and didn't know if there's other way to write you but to write an entry in your guest book first. Thank you again for your wonderful work, and I am so looking forward to Wulfric's story. Cheers, ISA D.

Well, after swallowing both books in the matter of hours (couldn't put them down, and i'm a very fast reader,) and later on spending some rewarding time with your website as well as Amazon.com, I'm chomping at the bit to read any book of your I can get my hands on :) Thank you for great writing :) P.S. and regardless of what some people think, your books do not sound like something written purely on publisher's request, but rather like something you had to tell the story of :)

I will not be sorry to see the Bedwyn series end. I am tired of the family saga genre (Stephanie Laurens, Jo Beverley, etc). They become very repetative. You have written some terrific books - "Longing" was my favorite - as have the other mentioned authors, but it seems that once an author is successful they begin churning out formula stories. Perhaps it is because of publishers' demands to produce.

Kevin’s project smile came about while Kevin was performing his first stage play as The White Rabbit in Alice In Wonderland. All the children wanted autographs from the White Rabbit. Kevin knew then and there that he was going to act and make children smile. Then he thought that if he could make children smile by acting, why couldn’t he make a sick child smile by giving them a gift that they normally wouldn’t be able to have. So, we started collecting personally signed items of celebrities in order to auction to buy gifts for children who are seriously ill. We would love to build a good collection by the end of summer to auction, and start buying gifts for Christmas of 2004. We have celebrities personally signed items from people like Adam West, Robert Englund, Britney Spears, William Shatner, Frank Abagnale, Robert Ballard, Barry Williams, Robin Williams, Britney Spears, Dom DeLuise, Bill Goldberg, Donald Trump, Martina McBride, George Jones, Gallagher, Charlton Heston, Rudy Ruettiger, Liza Minelli, System Of A Down, Simple Plan, Smash Mouth among others. I hope that you will find it in your heart to donate a personally signed item to help our cause. Thank you very much for your valuable time. Please take care and we hope to hear good news from you soon. Sincerely, Donna Milligan 6237 Melody Ln. # 1202 Dallas, Texas 75231

I think I'm not the only one to ask this, but is there a chance that old books by you are reprinted (The notorious rake, Precious jewel for example)? There are such gems among them and I think many would love to read them. As much as I love your books I do not want to pay over 10 Dollars and more for a used book. Perhaps you could include information on reprints on your website, like a link titled "reprints of old titles" to keep your readers updated. Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work! Kerstin

Hello, I think I may be in a relationship with your No. 1 fan. It's official--through six years of exhaustive searching at second-hand book stores, and constant eBay tracking, my girlfriend, Rebecca, is set to complete her Mary Balogh collection with the arrival of two books in the mail next week. I confess that I've never actually delved into these books, but judging by how often Rebecca reads and re-reads your books, neglecting the mountain of other romance novels she's accumulated, I'm guessing they're "top-shelf" Now, of course Rebecca doesn't have the newest book, and since her birthday is on June 5th, I thought it might be a neat gift to give her. Would it be possible to obtain a copy (maybe even a signed copy) for her? I would certainly pay whatever the going rate is. I can't tell you how thrilled Rebecca would be! Anyway, thank you for your time, and for providing these books for Rebecca, which, incidentally, provides me with "down time." Best regards, Mark

I've been reading romance, along with classic and contemporary fiction, since 1985 when I started with Johanna Lindsey and Jude Devereaux. I just recently fell into your books, beginning with Aiden Bedwyn's story. Since then, I've looked for your new releases religiously! I have to admit that I bought the first one because your bio said you were from Wales, and I wanted to read your spin on Regency. After living in the UK for five years (one in Haverfordwest, four in Cornwall), I immensely enjoy your dialogue--it's so genuinely English. I also admire your take on "less is more." While I get a clear picture from your prose, your writing doesn't weigh down the story, it keeps it moving, and it leaves room for my own image of a scene. I love your characters--even when their behavior is somewhat unlikeable as with Freyja, and I hope to see many more to come. I think you have left the very best for last with Wulfric, haven't you? Your writing is an inspiration for me, and I congratulate you on your well-deserved success!

I never in a million years thought that i would ever pick up a romance novel. I never thought i'd actually LOVE what i was reading and fall so deep into the characters. I got an ARC while working in a book store of "More Than a Mistress". as soon I was done, I rushed to the library and got "No Man's Mistress". Now i've read every book from Tresham, to Alleyne. Wulfric comes out in a week and I can hardly contain myself. I would never read any other authors. Mainly because romance novels aren't my thing. And Ms. Balogh is such a brilliant writer. But a little bit is because I never want to become so obseesed with characters again that I eat, sleep, dream the Bedwyn family. I do want to thank you Ms.Balogh. When all is said and done, these books have brought emotion out in me I thought I'd forgotten about, and my boyfriend thanks you too.

Ms. Balogh, I have read the five released books from your Bedwyn series. I'm sure you hear quite frequently, but they have all been wonderful on different levels. It is amazing how each is totally different, but linked together. It has been a long wait since I read Slightly Tempted. My anticipation to read Slightly Sinful was trying. You have an amazing talent and I can not wait for the final book in the Bedwyn series, and other books of yours to follow. I do have one question though, Wulfric's character is a father figure for the other five Bedwyn's. How old is he? I can not recall from the other 5 books if it was mentioned. If and when you have time to answer. Keep writing, and thank you for the relaxing moments, laughter and tears; and bless your imagination and talent! Heather

Dear Ms. Balogh, I would like to thank you very much for your delightful Bedwyn novels. I was at a loss as to what to read after I had read Jane Austen's novels three times each, and then I read most of Georgette Heyer's books at the librarian's suggestion. After that, I looked woefully at the reference librarian. What next? She handed me one of your books (The Ideal Wife). I finished that and said, "I thought you said there wouldn't be any sex in this book," and then demanded another one of your books. She gave me Slightly Wicked, and I became an instant Bedwyn addict. I have very little time to myself as I have two extremely active & spirited children, and my time to myself usually starts at midnight. Whenever I have been able to shake one of the Bedwyn novels out of the library system, I have taken it home and curled up with it late that night and finished it by a rather unearthly hour of the morning. I couldn't wait for Alleyne's book and bought it, and then I asked my mother for the first four for my birthday, even though I had already read all of them. I know I will read them over and over again until they break in half, and then I will have to buy new ones. I am both eager and sad to know that Wulfric's story is finally going to be released -- eager because he is, without a doubt, one of the best characters created in any novel that I have ever read -- and sad because, of course, the instant I am able to get my hands on it, I will finish it within about six hours, and then there will be no more Bedwyn novels for me. Alas. Oh, well. I thank you for providing such a wonderful way to spend the little time to myself that I have. I know I should be spending my time to myself doing chores (balancing the checkbook, folding laundry, picking up toys, blah, blah, etc.), but who wants to do that at midnight?! (Or at any other time, for that matter, when the alternative is spending time with the Bedwyns?) Thank you again, especially for Wulfric. You must have positively delighted in throwing out little tantalizing tidbits about his character in the first five books. Were you chuckling when you did it? I would have been, had I had the great fortune to be in your creative shoes. Oh, dear. I am babbling ceaselessly, and I am sure you have no time for it. Thank you. Sincerely and gratefully, Beth Nelson.

Hi, Mary: You are such a wonderful writer. I think I have read and re-read hundreds of books in a year. But your novels are truly outstanding. Your characterization is superb while the story line keeps me so entranced that I almost forget to breathe. Since my storage space has run out, I decided to buy only electronic books (ebooks) for the past six months. I have purchased many, many, ebooks and have, I think, 7 of your ebooks. I enjoy them so much on my laptop computer! I know "Simply Dangerous" is due on June 1st,2004. I can hardly wait to read it as an ebook which the Random House site said would be available as an ebook but I can find it nowhere for sale or pre-sale. I would love to have all your older books as ebooks also. If you have any information on this ebook's availability, I would very much appreciate it if you would let me know.

My dearest Mary, I have read all but Alleyne's and Wulf's story's (naturally)I am a book writer myself, well I am not known yet but I do hope to be soon! I was in North Carolina for a while and started writing a book with a Duke in it as well, when I came back to Wisconsin I came upon a book called Slightly Scandelous, let me just say that Freyja can be a role model for most girls, and Wulfric is quite inticing himself, he his my very favorite of the Bedwyns. I applaud you and thank you for writing the books, they could quite possibly be the best books out there, I cannot wait for Slightly Dangerous to come out. It will be interesting to see if fair maidan can melt Wulf's cold heart and bring a smile to his hook nosed face like he has to mine (though I do not have a hook nose, absoultely no offense to anyone who does)I do hope you consider one day writing stories about the children, like Davy his sister and Freyja and Joshua's child. Any other child that comes along as well, I think I have written enough to let you know how much I appreciate the work you do and look forward to all your other future novels. Crystal.

It was lovely, and just as wonderful as the other Bedwyn love stories. I look forward to reading Wulfric's story - which will come out in time for my vacation in July. It makes for a wonderful time off when I have a Mary Balogh book to enjoy.

I just finished reading Slightly Sinful. It was excellent. I am anxiously awaiting for June when Wulfric's story will finally be published. I am sorry to see the Bedwyn's go. Maybe you can find a long lost sibling some where and have another book. Good Luck with all your future books.

I'm glad to see some of your works for sale on fictionwise.com as ebooks; would your earlier stuff end up as ebooks as well? I would dearly love to read THE FAMOUS HEROINE, and yet none of my libraries have it and none of the nearby second-hand bookstores have it ... ebooks are the way! It'd be a delight.

Like so many other fans, I can't wait for June 1st and the opportunity to read Slightly Dangerous. It would be great if fans lucky enough to have ARCs could preface their remarks with a SPOILER line - I don't want the plot given away in dribs and drabs over the next month. I'm referring, of course, to the entry about continuity errors. Thanks so much. Janet

I noticed that Slightly Dangerous had a slight continuity error toward the end of the book. At the point where Mrs. Derrick rolls down the hill, Alleyne and his daughter - who had just recently galloped off into the woods - are there to suggest that the Duke take Mrs. Derrick to the lake walk. Pardon me for having obtained a reading copy ahead of the publishing schedule, but I couldn't wait to be able to read the book. I had my own ideas of the sort of wife he would get, but they didn't come close to Mrs. Derrick - who was delightful. Thank you for an excellent series.

I've just discovered the Bedwyn family. I was given the first book, A summer to remember, and as soon as I finished it I went right out and bought the rest of the series. Now I am anxiously waiting for Alleyne and Wulf's stories. These are the first Mary Balogh novels I've read, but they won't be the last

(and I have read shedloads)Charming, witty,sexy and amusing. Can't wait for my sister to pass it back so I can read it again. I am now checking out your other books. So glad I've found you!

I am having a look at your website after the famous author Rhys Bowen said that you are her favourite writer. I am not sure if I could cope with reading your books as your idyllic childhood was enough to start me crying. I had a very unhappy childhood, for Christmas 1962 I was given an empty box to play with, my Father told me it was a new toy, "Action Man Deserter",- how cruel. I loved my Dad when I was a little boy, and he loved me, he would take me everywhere sitting on his shoulders, which was very uncomfortable on long car journeys. Did you know that the book you disliked, "Moby Dick" was filmed in Fishguard Harbour? Everything was fine until the rubber whale went beserk and tried eating Gregory Peck. Everyone thought that the whale would be found when the batteries ran down, but no, the whale disappeared, and ever since that day the local people of Goodwick and Fishguard have spent many an evening playing "Spotted Dick".

Dear Mary, I obtained an "early" copy of Slightly Dangerous and absolutely loved it. I am so glad that you portrayed Wulf so that we can understand him as a true person with feelings, not just a cold aristocrat. I truly felt his pain! I wanted so much to help him with his social skills!! Thank you so much, I always enjoy your novels and order the old ones off the Internet.

This is my first fan mail letter I have ever written. Just had to tell you, your the greatest. My # one author. I started with the "Christmas Promise" & have bought every one since. There are a few back Regency's I have not found yet but am in hopes of getting them soon. I stood up to 2am to finish "Simply Sinful" & each time I finish one, I say that one was the best. I can't wait for the last one in the series. I have gotten my daughter hooked on your books also. We are a 3 generation family of readers. Myself, my Daughter & my Granddaughter. I have just gotten webtv & when I saw your address at the end, I just had to write. Your books keep me young. I was just 75 last month. Best Wishes & hope to read many many more of your books.

Hi Ms. Balogh: Can't tell you how much I'm enjoying your Slightly series. Just finished a review on Sinful and its up at romancereaderatheart (under book reviews)... Anyway, part of the reason I've enjoyed the stories is because I'm a virgin lover. Just don't do widow stories. I know, I know...So I was real disappointed to see Wulf's heroine is a widow! Several readers on reading list thru Yahoogroups are having a good laugh about my aversion to widows :), but more share my love of virgins. Anyway, we were wondering if Wulf's heroine might be a virgin widow? You can beat me now. Please do :) But could you give us faithful readers an itsy, bitsy hint? ...thanks Debbie Jett

Hello Mary, I'm so glad to be back on your site again, my old computer crashed and I lost all my favorites and bookmarks. It's taken a long time but I'm finally building the list again. Many years ago (well at least 5!) I wrote to you when I had a used bookstore--Patti's Bookstore--I have had to close the store due to Rheumatoid arthritis. I'm good as long as I don't have to carry too much heavy stuff or do a lot of reaching and filing books is both! I have all the books in the Slightly series, when it's a series like that I like to get them all before I read them but yours was too delicious, I had to start it and of course I'm hooked now! I belong to 3 book groups at our local library and I'm hoping to suggest the latest Slightly book to read in the romance group this month. They all love your books so I'm pretty sure the suggestion will be approved! It's wonderful to know I'm going to be getting your newsletters again Mary, I always looked forward to them. Take care Mary, Hugs...Patti Herwick

I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your books. I was not forunate enough to catch the introductory book to the "Sinful" series but I have read all of the others and just completed "Slightly Sinful". I look forward to the downfall of the last most aloof member of this family. I will unfornuately have to wait a year or so until it becomes available in paperback. (As a single mother I have to watch pennies.) As an avid reader, I look forward to your stories that transport me to another time and captivate me with Eros' playfulness in others lives. THANK YOU

Mary, I have been extremely busy and out of town for the last few days. As such, I got home last night at 3:00 a.m. to find my new copy of Slightly Sinful waiting for me. It is now 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon and I thorougly enjoyed your newest book. I'm going to sleep now. You are one of a very few authors who could compel me to lose such sleep. But your writing is well worth the trouble . . . and I will now sleep contented.

I really enjoy your books. Lately I notice that many of the early wrters of romance are reissuing prior books. sometimesin a two-for- one volume. Are there any plans to reissue the early Signet stories in this fashion? There are many that I missed, the first time around, and I'd love to have a chance to catch up.

What happened to Charles,Philip,and Penelope did they find true love? I love the way you combine characters from other books to give them a life of there own.
