Hi, Michelle! It's not something I pay a lot of attention to, simply because fanfiction and fan art aren't created for me--they're for readers. We do have a small gallery of fan art on the website.

I am writing book 7 now!
Deanna Raybourn
I didn't realize it had!
Deanna Raybourn
Certainly! It's a contemporary book featuring a quartet of assassins who are on the cusp of retirement until they have to band together against the organization that hired them. I'll be announcing a title and publication date via my newsletter as soon as they're firmed up.
Deanna Raybourn
No firm plans yet, but I'd love to write that into a later project!
Deanna Raybourn
Just got the proposal for book seven approved last week!
Deanna Raybourn
It's perfectly fine to read them out of order--happy reading!

I'm so glad you're enjoying! There are currently no plans to see Veronica on the screen, but I'd love it if the series was adapted. When the entertainment rights do sell, I'll be hollering LOUDLY on social media, believe me!

I am so glad you're enjoying! Would you believe I haven't been to Fort Worth since I was nine months old?? But I was brought up in San Antonio and I am a Texas girl through and through. I hope you enjoy the rest of the series as much as the first!
Deanna Raybourn
At least two! So glad you're enjoying.

I've actually never read them! I still don't know how I managed to get through childhood without that series, but there you go. I've been considering reading it as an adult. I have loads of friends who count Montgomery as a really formative author for them.

Hi, Ann-Marie--The option for the TV series has lapsed and the rights are once more available. That means we could still get a series, but it's not currently in development.

I'm afraid I don't know since this is my publisher's giveaway and not mine. I do know the hardcovers are ready to go, so there's always the possibility they will ship that instead of an ARC.
Deanna Raybourn
So glad you're enjoying! The Julia Grey books were put out by my former publisher, but they have no plans to continue the series. There is always a slim possibility the series might be revived, and if that happens, I'll be sure to announce!
Deanna Raybourn
So glad you're enjoying--and thanks for spreading the word to other readers! This is a question I really don't like to answer just because I firmly believe that however you imagine Veronica in your head is exactly how she should be. She's mine when I write her, but she is yours when you read her.
Having said that, if I had my dream cast? Florence Pugh!

I have always been fascinated with Victorian explorers, and one of the most intriguing is Margaret Fountaine--a lepidopterist who made a career for herself by traveling the globe, netting butterflies for other collectors. She was a deeply interesting woman, so much so that I promised myself if I ever created a new Victorian series after the Lady Julia Grey books, I would create a butterfly hunter in homage to her. Great question!

Arcadia Brown is a fictional detective I created as a series within a series--maybe one day I'll get to write a short adventure for her!
Deanna Raybourn
I have no doubt! So glad you're enjoying the series. The sparkiness between Veronica and Stoker is so much fun to write!
Deanna Raybourn
It's not official yet, but it looks like (fingers crossed) there will be more books to come! As soon as there is something in writing, I'll be sure to holler with details.
