A new book and a series of videos about writing. (P.S. I'm sorry it took me so long to answer this question; I didn't see it until today.)

Thanks for the question, Ugo. Yes, Al Zuckerman has represented me through the publication of all 10 of my books: the 7-book Thornleigh Saga, and my thrillers. He's a wonderful agent. (By the way, I was pleased to see you've entered my manuscript evaluation contest.)

Hi Krystal - Thanks for your question. The Traitor's Daughter is the latest in my Thornleigh Saga series. I doubt that it will be the last, but, yes, it's the last for now. The series books are, in this order: The Queen's Lady, The King's Daughter, The Queen's Captive, The Queen's Gamble, Blood Between Queens, The Queen's Exiles, and The Traitor's Daughter. I've definitely enjoyed writing these adventures of the Thornleigh family!

The readers! I'm always moved when readers take the time to get in touch. Many of them are incredibly knowledgeable people. I enjoy replying to every email I receive.

I read about the Dutch "Sea Beggars" and found them and their connection with Elizabeth I of England fascinating. Plus, I had to get my continuing character, Adam Thornleigh, to the Netherlands to search for his stolen children. So, since he's a seafarer, the fit was perfect.
