" Future indifference is no consolation for present pain "

 We have found that the " indifference " which sometimes takes a while to manifest itself is a great help and brings peace to a fime of much pain. So thank you for giving this  idea to all your readers and I hope  others have found it . I have read many of your SUPER books and hope that you continue to bring such pleasure to this world.  Sincerely  Patricia Wells

I knew Constantine wasn't what his cousin thought him to be. I didn't know Jon wanted Ainsley Park but I knew Constantine did start it for his brother. I didn't know all the other people he included  in the park.

I think you did a fantastic job of telling Constantine's story .Your tying together of all the other stories was great too. I never got the feeling you were hurrying to finish. This book was probably the best and they were all good.

Thank you for 5 fantastic stories.

I absolutly LOVE all your books!!!!  Please... never stop writing!!!!!

Karen

Ahhhhhhh!

I have to tell you how very much I am enjoying your books.  I first discovered your books when I happened upon "A Summer to Remember" at the local library since the book cover looked enticing.  I absolutely loved the story, the way you developed your main characters, and the emotion your writing evoked from reading your beautifully depicted love scenes.  I believe that I even cried at one point.  Since then, I have gone on to read your "Slightly" series of books and loved them as well.  Right now, I am in the throes of reading the 2nd book in your lovely "Simply" series.  I have not been disappointed in the least since your writing is always consistent.  I hope to go on and read all your other books but just had to express how much I enjoy reading your books.  I honestly think that you are the best author of historical romances that I have ever read.  My sincere thanks for your continued writing in this genre since it's my favorite.  I wish you all the best!

Denise

I loved the Bedwyns.  I visit them often.  I could so relate to Wulric as I am the oldest in a large family.  I also loved how you intertwined them with the "Simply" series.  It was great to see how they were doing after the last Bedwyn book.

Thank you so much for many hours of pleasurable reading!

I look forward to be added to your mailing list.

I began reading A Matter of Class last night and could not put it down.  This is one of the most delightful and surprising romance stories I have ever read and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  I loved how you would go back, from time to time, and give us a glimpse into the past of these two main characters.  Even so, I was no ready for the surprising ending.  It was delicious.  I could not believe how clever it was and I absolutely loved it.

You are a delightful author.  One of the reasons I enjoy reading you is that I can almost see the streets you describe, the faces and expressions of your characters and the towns and cities they live in.  I am now a lifelong fan of yours and am in the process of tracking down and reading every book you have ever written.

I read 20-30 books a month and keep very few of the historicals. I have all of your books on a special "keeper shelf", however and reread them periodically. I am really pleased that your publisher is bringing out more of your backlist. What a treat for your fans!

Your website is lovely and I have enjoyed learning more about you (ie. how to pronounce your name!) and that you live in Saskatchewan. My 93 year old mother was born in Central Butte, Saskatchewan in 1916 (her parents had moved by covered wagon from Ohio during the prior decade to make a go of farming there). 20 years ago she returned to Central Butte for the first time since her family had moved for her mother's health in 1918 to the central valley of California. She found the stone foundation of the house her father had built and even found people in a nursing home who remembered her family. It was a very moving experience for her to go back to her roots.

Thank you for the joy you bring your readers. Yours is a rare talent that we all treasure.

P.S. The covers on the Huxtable series are beautiful. Your publisher has probably attracted many new readers to your books with covers that seem to relate to your content. I especially liked the cover of Seducing An Angel.

Christina

I have been reading your books for many years.  I love the intensity of your characters - they tear at my heart and my mind.  Thank you for creating complicated and real stories that involve true conflicts of the heart and character.  As an aside, I grew up in Regina and am fascinated by the fact that my favorite author may have crossed paths with me at some point!

I have several of your books!  love the Huxtables,and the Bedwyns.  Somehow, I came across  "The Secret Pearl"  I honestly feel likeFleur- I cannot find the words to express my thoughts!! I just wanted you to appreciate and clearly understand how your,no," their" story touched me. You have set a new standard for my reading list. I laughed, I cried, but more significant, I asked for forgiveness, and I forgave.  I feel the desire to show more compassion, and tolerance, more love and strength.  This is a reverent story and I feel blessed to have been able to consume it.  Thank-you

I just finised reading 'A secret Affair' it is your best book ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!Great love story! You didn't give away when they feel in love which was great! I had to re-read some of the paragraphs to find out when they started to fall in love! Your books remind me of Georgette Heyer's books.

I have read all your books so I am looking forward for your next new book which I hope is to be soon!

Mary you are the best! God bless you!

Anna

I just finished Secret Affair, and it was well worth the wait.  One of your best, if not the best.  I'm just always sad to finish one of your books.  I will read this one again very soon.  For those looking for your other books, they can be found all over the internet.  Ebay, Amazon, Barnes and Noble  and many others.  Just search for Mary Balogh.   I hope your having a good time in Wales!!!

Jan

Thank you and keep up the great work.

Since then I have read everything I have been able to get my hands on.

Recently I found Tangled, Great book !

I just picked up A Secret Affair, Can't wait to get started.

Thank you for finishing the story line.

I have been a "bookworm" for about 50 years and I love your books. I've read them and re-read them and own them in print and on my Kindle.  I just got off the phone talking to one of my five sisters and life has many hard moments for all of us right now - as most people go through from time to time.  I felt a bit low.  Then I picked up "A Matter of Class" and within moments was laughing about the conversation Reginal and Annabelle have about the state of "virginal".  It lifted me up and gave me such a good feeling about life that I was moved to find your website and write this to you.  Your talent is a gift to us all and helps many of us face the difficult passages of our lives.  I believe that world peace starts with inner peace and I nominate you for a Peace Prize.  Thank you so very much. 

Trish

P.S. One of my sisters is named Annabelle!

Thanks,

Sheena

What is the family series where the two youngest daughters and their governess (Katharine Marks?) stayed in a hotel for their coming out?  I think Poppy married the owner of the hotel.  What was the series and what was the next book about Katharine and the girls' brother?  What were the books in the series?

Thanks so much.  I'd really appreciate the information.

Several of your earlier novels are now downloaded on 'Scribd.com' - this is great for all those readers who cannot get hold of your older novels but I suspect that it is in contravention of your copyright.

My favourite novels are 'Slightly Dangerous', 'Tempting Harriet' and 'The Ungrateful Governess'.  I would love it if Harriet and Archie were to appear in a new novel, as I am keen to know if they managed to produce the much-desired 'Heir and Spare' !  Perhaps they could be written into the new book about Gwen, Lady Muir.

Your characters are well-developed and always have interesting and detailed back stories.  This really enhances the reading experience for me and I eagerly await any new book that you publish.  Keep healthy and happy so that you can continue to write.  I own all but three of your novels so you can see that it is a real pleasure for me to read your novels.

Sincerely,

Jas

Thank You

Your writting & story telling ability is SIMPLY WONDERFUL. I enjoyed reading about lives of your characters from other books. Im proud to say I'm one of your biggest fan :-))

I can't get enough of your books and I'm still wait your old books to be published again. There's not much your books in Malaysia. I only managed to find Simply, Slightly & Huxtable series. The 1st book I've read was 'At Last Comes Love'. It's brilliant.

I just read 'A Precious Jewel'. It was something different from others authors. You make the characters alive and it's touching when read the last chapter. You had me in tears Mary. You are so GOOOOODDDDD! I was wondering about Lord Severn and wish you had his story. You have not disappointed me at all Mary. I've found his story in "The Ideal Wife".

All your books goes from pleasant to good and from good to very² GOOD!!! Love u Mary Balogh :-*

I have never written a fan letter before but could not pass up this opportunity to tell you how wonderful your books are.  Every character is unique, as are the plots; every book is spellbinding and every ending so satisfying.  While waiting anxiously for the story of Con, I'm having a delightful time reading again about his Huxtable cousins.  Thank you so much for sharing your remarkable talent with all of us.

Your books are wonderful.  I feel I know the Bedwyns family and everyone of them. This what life is about "Family".

Your books have brought me great joy.  I lived in England for 3 years with the US Military and met my wonderful

husband.  He is a Englishman of my dreams and the love of my life.  Keep the books coming.

Thank you so much,

Tina

I just finished three of you books.  It began with finding "A Matter of Class" in the new books shelf at my local library.  After finishing that, I quickly went back to find Simply Perfect, which I believe is the last of that series.  :)  That's pretty typical of me, but it didn't take me long to start looking at copyright dates when I went back for the third, Simply Unforgetta ble.

I was refreshingly surprised to read one of your stories.  I've always loved Regency England and the Tudor period.  (If those are one in the same, bear with me, I'm still a newbie to England's history, lol! )  However, I've never really been a huge fan of romance.  My mother on the other hand, I swear there are less Harlequin romances out that she hasn't read than has read.  Oh the piles of books!!!!  But your stories touch into the physical aspects of romance without throwing it all over the cover or your readers, and for that, I'm quite gratefully and will continue reading your various series of books.

That is when I'm not writing myself.  I'm currently on my fourth chapter of a fictional piece loosely based on my experiences living and working in a very small town in the eastern end of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  I'm on my third day of writing, and it seems to coming along face enough to keep my brain working overtime.  I have come up with some of the greatest ideas as I'm lying in bed waiting to fall asleep. :)

I'm currently a part time bartender at a hotel lounge here in norther lower Michigan.   The bar business has been quite slow lately, which makes me available for some really great conversations with the hotel guests.  I've heard some really great stories from almost every single one of them, but I remember only a few that apparently my brain deemed worth retelling.  I've been itching to write a book for a number of years, I've always loved writing.  Well, maybe not so much while I was still in high school, but it certainly started to catch my interest by the time I finally rolled around to take my first college level English Composition course online.

Sorry to bore you, as I've realized I've rattled on for a bit too long.  Again, thank you for your creative writing!  I'll be sure to pass on your name and booklist when asked for a good book to read by a friend, well girl friend anyways...

Take care and I hope you are somewhere enjoying the wonderful spring weather!

Amy Thomas

I've been one of your biggest fans for years. I adore the 'Mistress' series and lately, the Huxtable series. I buy all your books in paperback, but I've already put myself on the list at my library for 'Secret Affair' because I can't wait. I've been DYING to read Constantine's story since the very first mention of him in 'First Comes Marriage'. I just know he's a hero, and I hope Elliot and Vanessa have to eat their hats!

Thank you for continuing to write such beautiful, realistic Regency romances.

Love,
Sarah

      I have been reading Dark Angel and Lord Carews Bride and wondered if the "Muir" lady mentioned in it is the same as "Lady Muir" in the "Slightly" series. I have not finished reading the story and may answer my own question but I was too excited when I crossed the name and had to try to find out instantaneously if possible. I am eagerly awaiting a happy ending for Lady Muir.

     I have also been awaiting a happy ending for Constantine so I am glad to see his story will be out in May. I just wish I could have it sooner. However, it is probably a good thing that I cannot because I am a student and I often slack off when I get my hands on one of your novels.

      Thanks for sharing your gift with us mere mortals.

Best regards, Betty ( known to my friends as Jacquie .....and I hope you'll become one of them)

                      Tracy

I'm only 21 years old, but I've read many of your books. I've been an avid reader in general since I was sixteen, which always earned me odd looks from my classmates-who would never read for school, let alone for fun-but I've always loved the written word. I came across the "Simply" series and the "Huxtable" series and fell in love, I've been getting into the older ones, right now I'm reading "The Secret Pearl", but I'll be moving on to the "Slightly" Series next. Thanks for hours and hours of enjoyment, don't know what I'd do without authors like you!

As a Librarian , I also want Kerri Hunter who has written in your guestbook to know that she should ask her librarian to buy more of your books or perhaps request them from other libraries through interlibrary loan. We take our patrons requests seriously and always enjoy learning what they want to read.. 

A Matter of Class is a delightful story of love, between Annabelle and Reggie, two levels of class coming together. Their story with interpersed chapters of their growing up years gave a vivid background.The ending that was unexpected and an excellent conclusion. The parents were not aware of how they helped.

Changing personalities from cold to warm also made  the personalities develop into better people.
Thank you Mary for this gift to your readers. .

I am an avid reader and order my novels through the internet. I found your book "Slightly Dangerous" and "Slightly Married" by chance  a fortnight ago (it was the cover and review of the books that made me order them) ......and now I'm hooked. Glad that I started reading the story of Lord Bewcastle and Christine . Just love their 'opposite'  characters, witty dialogues and the plot itself is just beautiful. Now I'm trying to order more of your books and I'm sure I'll not be dissappointed when I get them. (Thank God for the internet!)

May you be blessed with good health and continue to write even more beautiful books for us fans!

Regards

Murizah

It would be wonderful to see a story - even a novella - in which David Jewell and Lizzie Pickford are grown.  I see them each as artistic individuals; he with his painting and she with her writing.  They would fall in love, but of course she would resist thinking she would be a burden, etc..  I truly loved the Slightly series and have re-read them recently.

I have just finished Dark Angel/Bride of Lord Carew and look forward to Constantine's story.

Thank you for hours of enjoyment.

I am very happy that they are re-releasing some of your older books.  I found you several years ago in your Regency books and have always enjoyed your writing.  I especially like how  you connect the characters in the different stories so that we see how they are doing in later years.

Did you ever write a story for Elizabeth, Duchess of Portfrey, Lauren's Aunt in A Summer to Remember?

Jan

I have all your books starting  with   Heartless   an  Silent Melody     but like  A Precious Jewel and The Ideal Wife    I want very much      to read    Lady with a Black Umbrella     I have found copies of it on the internet at  prices too high to buy     I do hope down the road it will be published again    I see many of your books are coming out the next yr or so  I saw one in the store while shopping on thurs will go back and get it tomorrow         we are in a very rural area so kno it will be there

ideal wife and precious jewel were two fabulous books and hard to put down      I simply had to know what and how it  was going to happen     thanks for 2  beyond excellent books   ca

I've dropped you a note before about the Huxtables, and once again with the Bedwyn's and the gals from Miss Martin's school, you've created such a lovely and enchanting (and enormously involved and tangled) group of  people.  Very much enjoyed it.

I also read recently A Matter of Class, and also enjoyed that very much.  The flashback perspectives were very interesting in how the showed the evolution of the ruse that the two main characters concocted.  Another fun read!

I'm looking forward to the release of Con Huxtable's story!

Thank you for your writing.  I enjoy your books when I can find them.  Once I start one of your books, I simply cannot put it down until I through.  I wish our local library carried more of your books.  Since I'm temporarily unemployed I cannot buy any books, much to my chagrin, however I'll keep haunting my library until they add more of your books.

Thanks again. 

Kerri Hunter

I love your books! Never stop writing! I can't wait for the books that are coming out this year. I always get so into your books that I can't put them down.

WHAT WAS GOING ON FROM MID BOOK.  AM STILL WAITING FOR BOOK ABOUT THE SISTER

NOTED IN THE TWO MISTRESS BOOKS. MANY OF US WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW SUCH

FREE SPIRIT(LIKE HER) BECAME PART OF A TWOSOME WITH SUCH A SEEMINGLY

OVERLY STRAIGHT LACED STICKMAN.

MOSTLY MARY JUST ANOTHER THANK YOU FOR MAKING ROMANCE AND TIME TRAVEL SO

EASY.

BARBARA (FROM BROOKLYN)

I have to say that before 2009 I was not a fan of reading. But after reading my first Mary Balogh book, A Secret Pearl, I have been hooked. I have ALL of your books that are in print. I can not wait for your reprints. I now read an average of 3-4 books a week!! Because of your stories I have become so obsessed with English history and the time period you write in, it makes me want to go back and study English history in school!!! I am even planning a trip to England early 2011 where I plan on visiting all the famous locations you describe in your books. I have turned so many of my friends and co workers onto your books that I hope they in turn tell their friends. Has any production company or network ever pitched to you to make one of your series books into a miniseries on tv (i.e Showtime, HBO, BBC)??? I know it would be a hit!!! I am determined to keep spreading the word to the younger crowd ( I am 25) that MARY BALOGH's books ARE AMAZING and must reads!!! All us girls at the office can't wait for Constatine's story!!

Best Wishes-

Angela

Sarah

A grateful fan,

Joy

( I downloaded this onto my Kindle App on my itouch but I have to have the real thing with this book)  

Keep wrting!

My favourite heroine so far is Freyja - I too have a 'handsome' family nose :o)

All the best.

Where can I read a excerpt. or is it to soon?

June Capasso

   I absolutely love your stories. They are so captivating. This past summer my mom got sick and passed away with stomach cancer. It started in June and ended on Aug. 18th. She was 63 yrs young and was never ever sick before. I was very close to my mother and the baby of three girls. I love to read. During this time I ran across one of your books for the first time, "First Comes Marriage". Then I proceeded to read the other 2 in the series. "Seducing an Angel" had not come out yet. Your books were the only thing that got me thru the passing of my mother. I could read your book and disappear into another time. It was my only escape. Since, I have continued to seek out all your other books an I also requested the 4th book in the " Huxtable Series" for this past Christmas. I just finished " Simply Perfect" and I am going to order the others in that series.

I envy the fact that you can write the stories that you write. I wouldn't even know where to begin to write such wonerful stories. I guess I will just have to continue to be just the reader. May you have lots of blessings in your life, it seems that you have an I hope they continue.

Sincerly and Truly an admired fan,

Missy

I have just closed the back cover of "A Matter of Class"   and it is my new "favourite" Mary Balogh story.   I loved the premise,  the plot,   and the resolution.   What lovely characters!   I fell in love (well,  at least strongly liked) with  Anna and Reggie. from the start to the finish.    Loved the flashbacks which moved the story along!   Thanks again for such a classy love story.   I can hardly wait to see what comes next!    jem.     

I guessed the ending of this last book from about the middle but what fun to watch it unfurl and bloom! What brilliant characters!  Your perfect English make the reading flow with no "blips" (grammar errors that causes the brain to stop--and "fix it")  Have read every book you've written and loved them all.   I consider Historical romance as a "mental vacation".

I ask every author I meet--what one element in each novel gives you a pause or problem?  I've had some interesting answers!

l Love your books!!! I just finished the huxtable books and I loved them. I was wonering though if you were going to write one about constantine huxtable. i hope you are because I am anxious to read it.

thank you

Just read "A matter oof Class". it is utterly chaarming, delightful and sweet!

I can hardly wait for Constantine's story, but am thrilled about the re-issues. I actually have almost all of your books already, but want them for my Kindle devise so I can have all of them anywhere.

Thanks for all the happy reading----   Jill

I really enjoy electronic versions of your books. Audible UK now has six audio books available. Downloading from fictionwise or other ebook companies is also  very convenient, but unfortunately geographic restrictions are becoming widespread, eg with Random House. It is very anoying not to be able to download your latest books here in the UK, especially as you are Swansea born and bread. If you should have any influence over accesibility, I would be very grateful if you could remember your UK fans.

May I also ask about locations in your books. I was wondering whether the sea side manor in 'Simply Love' is based on a real location on the Pembroke coast, perhaps the castle at Manorbier? It would be very interesting to know of locations based on real places. Living in the UK, it can be fun to visit places that crop up in memorable novels and can greatly enhance the enjoyment!

Thanks for many hours of listening/reading enjoyment.

Thank you for writing all those beautiful, beautiful stories.  I am a mother of two young children and found you last summer when I needed an escape from my mundane world.  I have since read every one of your books in print.  I feel like I have been surprised, saddened, and had my faith restored by many of your books.  I love each of your heros and heroines, such brave if imperfect souls who feel and need love nevertheless.  I feel, in the end, that the reason I like your books so much is because they restore my belief in the goodness of humankind.  I have not been able to find another author who parallels your talent, and I'm so grateful to you for all the months of wonderful bliss.

big fanx again xxx

Just finished reading 'A Matter of Class' , what a beautiful love story! I just love it :) You are the best! I am impatiently waiting for Con's story!

All the best for the New Year! May God Bless you and your family!

Anna

Hello Ms. Balogh,

I'm a fan of historical romance books and you're one of my favorite authors.  The first book of yours that I read was "Slightly Married" and I enjoyed it a lot.  Since then I started collecting several of your books already.  Aside from "Slightly Married" I now have the first 3 books of your Huxtable series, "The Ideal Wife", "The Devil's Web" & "Web of Love."  I am currently finishing "Simply Magic" and am very intruiged by your "Simply Perfect" book.  I've been searching all over the place for a copy but it seems it's not yet available here in my country.  I wonder how I could get a copy?

Thank you so much and may you continue to enchant us more in your future writings.  God bless!

Margareth

You have a great talent and I never tire of your stories.  Miss Martains School is also a treasure.  I wish you the best of luck and a wonderful continued career.

Sincerely,

Lori

Your work is delightful, outrageous, and delicious. You have reminded me of my love for Regency England and its American echo, with such folks as Andrew Jackson, Jefferson, and Duxbry's King Caesar (Ezra Weston II). Where else could the burning souls of women (and men) be laid bare?

I recently figured out that I go so much into the stories that my pulsation increases (I already have high blood pressure problem myself :) )  The way Mary tells her stories, the way she describes the moment taking events... very very touching... I was asked whether I visualized the books, yes indeed... that is Mary's talent that that is impossible to not to dream, not to imagine...

Happy New Year All....

Thank you for making Regency romance so interesting! 

Readers whose libraries have only a few of your books could request that the library borrow more titles from their regional libraries. 

Readers who can't find your older books may discover more titles, sometimes at reasonable prices, at Amazon.com, eBay.com, Half.com or by joining PaperBackSwap.com.  I have no connection to any of these sites except as a customer or member who found more Mary Balogh there.

Looking forward to the new stories and the reissues!

Sue H

I inadvertenly added my e-mail address again.  I have been on your list for quite a while now.  So glad to be in the know.

Thank yhou

Betty.

I am now eagerly waiting Con's story form the Huxtable series. I am also very happy that your old books are being reprinted although i had managed to buy most of  them, there are still a few that are very difficult to get and also rather expensive i.e the wood nymp, the daring masquare etc. I hope they will be republished as well.

My best wishes for 2010 .....

I recently discovered your novels when searching for a book for a flight and am now addicted.  I am on my 8th book and have 4 more piled up waiting to be read.  I never realized how many books there are until i am in a store and realize "hey, I dont have that one yet.." .   Just wanted to say thank you for such a great collection of books.  I love history and romance so have the 2 combined is great.  My only complaint is that when the book ends i want to know more, I dont want the story to end.

Warm regards,

Rosemary

I love your books.  Can't seem to put them down once I start one.  I have a question about the Huxtable Series.  It all started with "Con"  and the grave scene - then there was something about the jewels that were missing and throughout the Huxtable series he reappears - my question - did you ever write Con's love story?  Could you please give me the name of the book - then I can get him off my mind.  By the way, the Bedwyn Series was WONDERFUL!!!  

Thanks for sharing your family with us.  Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Claudette

I recently lost my mother to brain cancer.  I have very little family.  I needed something else to help me through my lonliness and grief.     So my mother's friend put me on to your wonderful stories.  Our problem is we have read all the Huxtable stories and I was going to go right on to Stephen's Story.  I feel empty without a book.  I prefer paperback.  Can you tell me how to find it in paperback.  Thanks for taking me away from my real life and into a wonderful fantasy world.  I LOVE your books.  I am an elementary teacher.  I am teaching them about detail, idioms, similes and more.  Your books help me to really focus on what I want from them.

Your books are always interesting because of the way you develop characters.  So much for sticking to my budget; now I have to decide on the format. I'm leaning towards Kindle; I like print but e-format takes up so much less space!

Happy Holidays,

Nancy

My Favorite series are about the Bedwyns and the Butlers but I haven't read any that I don't like

You are just a wonderful storyteller

Thank you, for all the great stories

        joyce sprossel

your books for quite a number of years, however, until recently my mother has not been able to do so.  Thank your publishers so much for coming out

with the large print books.  We are looking forward to reading Con's story, and the many reprints of older books that we have not been able to find.

I just got done reading Then Comes Seduction and I really liked it. Now I have to go find the other books in the series so I can read them also. I was just wondering if you were going to write a book about Jaspers sister Charlotte. I don't know if you mention her in the last two books of the series but I would like to know the rest of her story.

Do you by any chance have a book club or is it too time consuming for the upkeeping of it?

My brother in law sent me a link to a "Saskatchewan" web site, and as I was looking through it I saw your name.  I remembered reading that you

lived in Saskatchewan, but didn't realize you were in Regina (at least part time!)  I was born and raised in Regina, as was my husband, and only discovered your books after my

nearly 20 years in California.  I get your books mostly at Barnes and Noble which is close  to my home, and enjoy each and every one.  Thank you!

I really have enjoyed reading your books. I started with the Simply series. Loved the Slightly series, also The Huxtables. The Secret Pearl  and Irrresitable were great reads as well. I just wanted say thanks :)

Lisa

last year I've started reading your Slightly series, though beginning with "Slightly Dangerous" instead of "A summer to remember" out of boredom (I'm more a mystery/detective reader, but after finding this series I'm inclined to your Regency era writing). Despite that I enjoyed it a lot and tried to find all your books in my local bookstore, determined to collect the whole Slightly series. I was sad to find out that I couldn't complete the collection until after almost a year and yet, it had been really worth the wait when I finally bought and read the last of the Slightly series just last week. I'm pleased with all of the books of the series and impressed with how they're woven together (the circumstances, the characters, the interactions, the humor, the wit etcetera), touching each novel without ever having to explain what happened in the previous book. It's maybe because of this reason I love "Slightly Dangerous" the most (I've read this book 3 times already) because of the strange combination of the Duke of Bewcastle and Christine, followed by "Slightly scandalous" because Joshua and Freyja's interaction amused me a lot.  I must confess I have yet to collect all Simply series. The only one that sparked my interest was "Simply love" which was tragic, but not exactly, and heartwarming at the same time and yet I love this book and the odd couple.

I've recently begun collecting the Huxtables series, starting with "At last comes love" but unfortunately that had been a misprint (;_; and just when I was halfway reading till page 123 until I realize a lot of pages were misprinted)  and now I've to wait another year for the new shipment to take place. *sighs* "First Comes Marriage" and "Then comes Seduction" are now only in my Huxtables collection. I must have been a fickle person to start only with the eldest sibling's story like in the case of "Slightly Dangerous" because I myself am the eldest amongst siblings as well. After my sad episode I started reading them in chronological order. I've just finished "First comes marriage" and as expected it pleased me to see Vanessa and Elliott's happy ending. Currently, I'm reading "Then comes seduction" and I've to admit I wasn't much inclined with the beginning of the story, until the part where there's a time skip of 3 years. But we'll see how the journey through this story will make me feel at the end of the novel. And like most readers, I'm sure, I'm looking forward to read Constantine's story even though I know I might have to wait 2 years for his story to reach my local bookstore's shelves. He's been dangling between villain and anti-villain and a bit of anti-hero in my mind since I began reading this series.

Overall, I'm glad to have found your website and the long backlist of stories you've written over the years. Some of the summaries don't really interest me, some of them do. I'm also glad to read which novel I could look forward to over a few years.

I've a lot of nagging questions on my mind for a long time, so please excuse me for being curious and asking you these: how much time do you need to write a novel on average basis? Does it depend on how the plot worked itself in your mind?

^^ Anyway, have a wonderful day.  Good luck~!

Hope the upcoming holidays are wonderful for you and your family.

Thank you for many enjoyable hours of reading. I started out with your "Slightly Married" book and then had to find the rest of the series,  From there I know your name and looked for other books, then found your web sight.  Love the new series with the brother and 3 sisters in "First Came Marrage" I have found all but the brother's story but still looking forward to it as I just read that it will be coming out in a paper back soon.   I have a very, very large library of book so I have had to cut back on my hard backs. I am looking forward to find more of your books

I've since moved on to a few others that I have enjoyed immensely and will continue to work my way eagerly through your booklist. Most recently I am in the last few chapters of No Man's Mistress and came to your site because I was dying to know if Angeline and Heyward had their own story ... talk about a hilarious and enjoyable couple!! I can only imagine what kind of exploits brought THOSE two together!!! But alas I find I must wait TWO years to read about them!!!!! ~Sigh~ I find that depressing ... and that's alot coming from a person who despises prequels ... but this one I will wait for with bated breath.

Whoa ... I didn't mean to write so much ... Thank you for sharing your talent with the world. I'm so glad I gave your books a chance. To think of what I've been missing all this time!!!
