JQ + Podcast = Good Listening
At a recent event at the Seattle Public Library, JQ talked about being a writer and then took a bunch of reader questions, divulging — among other things — what was behind the last lines in The Girl With the Make-Believe Husband. The talk was recorded for the Seattle Public Library’s podcast. We’ve posted JQ’s podcast episode to the site — it’s almost like being there yourself!
And if you’re into audio, check out JQ’s audio excerpt page. Seventeen audio clips — almost an hour and a half of excerpts to enjoy.

Thank you from JQ!
JQ is over the moon about the reader response to The Girl With the Make-Believe Husband. An instant fan favorite! Library Journal nailed it with their verdict: “Funny, spicy, and fast-paced, this spirited Bridgertons prequel is sure to be a fan-pleaser and may gain Quinn some new devotees as well.” So much so that all you readers put Edward and Cecilia’s story all the way up at #5 on the NYT Bestseller List and #8 on the USA Today List! THANK YOU FROM JQ!
Celebrate with Make-Believe music! JQ rolls out the Soundtrack for The Girl With the Make-Believe Husband. And if you haven’t ordered your copy yet, read the first two chapters for free, or mix it up and switch to the audio excerpt, which starts at Chapter 2. Enjoy!

For Real, Make-Believe Can Be Yours!
“Quinn’s fans will be grateful she’s crossed the pond for this textured look at life in New York during the 1770s” Kirkus (Starred). And Booklist (also Starred), celebrates an “abundance of dry wit and swoonworthy romance for which she is best known and loved.” The only thing to say that’s better than that is: NOW AVAILABLE! Go get it! There is no more waiting!
Need a taste, first? Read the first two chapters. And then after you read it all, come back for JQ’s Author Notes Inside The Girl With the Make Believe Husband!
