Thanks for your question! Alix and Anthony make cameo appearances in my latest book, The Disappearance of Astrid Bricard, so you'll be able to see how life is working out for them in that book! So glad you enjoyed Alix St Pierre too.

You can read them in any order, although some characters do pop up in cameo roles in subsequent books so if you like spotting that kind of thing, then reading them in order can work well. If you wanted to do that the order would be The Paris Seamstress, The Paris Orphan then The Paris Secret. But otherwise they are not a series and don't need to be read sequentially.

Hi Shreya, Rose explains this in the first part of the Epilogue at the end of the book. Hope that helps!

No movies on the horizon yet, I'm afraid. Fingers crossed it will happen one day!
Natasha Lester
Yes I am! I can't give you an exact publication date yet, or a title, but it should be out in late 2022 or early 2023. And thank you!
Natasha Lester
Thank you so much!

Thank you! I have another book coming out on August 31 this year called THE RIVIERA HOUSE, which is set in both Paris and the French Riviera!

Yes, historical fiction is my true love and that's what I'll be writing for the foreseeable future.

Hi Caitlin, it's a stock photo that the cover designer found so I'm not sure who the person in the image is, I'm so sorry.

Hi Cat, my daughter read it when she was 13. It does have a couple of sex scenes in it, as well as references to the rape of women by soldiers during the war. So I guess it depends on the person - I felt very comfortable with my 13 year old reading it but I guess others may consider that a little young. It's a bit hard to say exactly but I hope that info helps with your decision.

Hi Rachelle! There isn't really an order but you're right, I do like to let characters from other books make a cameo appearance in subsequent books. Technically The Paris Seamstress comes first, then The Paris Orphan and then The Paris Secret but it isn't really necessary to read them in order - it's more just a bit of fun to spot the character cameo if you've read the previous book. Glad you enjoyed The Paris Secret too!

I'm referring to a very famous movie from the 1920s called The Sheik, in which the main characters were Sheik Ahmed and Lady Diana Mayo. The movie starred Rudolph Valentino and was so popular that many people saw it multiple times. It was exactly the kind of movie that Evie and Lil would have seen in the 1920s, hence they refer to it in the book.

They should be available on Book Depository - unfortunately only The Paris Seamstress is available in the US. My other books are available in Australia and the UK but not the US yet.
Natasha Lester
Sorry for my late reply - I've been overseas. Thank you so much for your interest in my other books. Unfortunately those books are only available in Australia and New Zealand, and the UK. I haven't heard from my US publisher that they are likely to publish those books at this stage. Fingers crossed that they do some time in the future!
