If Noah's story was a standalone, then why do you have it as a prelude to the True Gentlemen series? I have been unable to see any connection between that book and the TG books and so find it being the prelude confusing. By the way, is Della ever getting her own story? And I'm hoping that Will and Jacaranda's siblings will get their own stories too (including Daisy; you can't leave her out when her other sister has her own story already) :)
The nice thing about the Trues is that the heroes fit the series name--all they have in common is kindness and honor. My publisher listened to me when I objected to making the series name about the sisters, and instead focused on the heroes. In that sense, Noah fits in with them just fine (but then, so would all of my heroes). Mostly, I had to put him somewhere on the website and because the Trues were his chronological successors, and fit with him thematically, he's sitting on their shelf visually. In the marketing material, his own back cover copy, and the series positioning, he's not included with the other three. So far, yours is the only question I've received about putting him on that shelf. Sorry for the confusion, but I didn't want him to get lost on the website. We might revisit this when the website conversion to responsive code is complete (maybe put him with the Lonelys or give him his own shelf), for but now, he's a "guest" True.
I don't know if Della is getting her own story, because her pairing with Ash looked pretty solid to me. If I learn otherwise (I've been surprised before), I'll say something about it on Facebook or the website.
As for Will and Jacaranda's siblings, that's a tall order, but I'm fairly certain Casriel, at least, will get his HEA with a Windham cousin. (Fingers crossed...) So many characters, so few hours in the day...
I would be happy to read 20 or 30 of your books labeled 'trilogy'. Just sayin'. Oh, let's just make it an even 100 :)
I"d love to join the Century Club. Give me a few years, and some good writing weather, and a stash of dark chocolate...
I can send some good Mackinac Island fudge to help you with that:)
I've just to see a single historical romance writer reaching the 100 milestone, story to point that out. However, a few have run past the 50 mark :)
I have every faith in Grace Burrowes! :) And I will be at the front of the line to read every single one of them :)
I would like to see one of my favourite authors reach the 100 milestone, that's for sure, but surely they would have to live to 100 at least in order to reach that goal :P
Dear Bonny, did you mean 'adore', not 'abhor'?
Speaking of Noah, what's the birth order of his sisters? I know that Penelope's the youngest, but I haven't been able to figure out whether Patience or Prudence is the oldest.
Yes, of coarse typing on a kindle with the tiny screen bubble they give you is not easy to see. (Plus add pain meds for a health problem doesn't help.) Thank you, for pointing that out.
Grace Burrowes no matter how many books you do or do not write I adore you. I understand things happen beyond your control and that you would never make a decision so big without good reason. I am and will always be a true fan of you and your writing!
