Do you want an autographed book? Yes, you do!
The Girl With the Make-Believe Husband will start shipping on May 30 from all your favorite vendors, but if you want it signed, and you aren’t able to go to any of JQ’s upcoming events in MA, NY, WA, IL, or OR, you can get your book autographed from the UWBookstore (with free shipping to the Lower 48 States if your purchase is over $20!)
Every autographed book comes with a limited edition Bridgerton bookmark, and —BONUS!— a just-designed, still-at-the-printer, I ♥ MAKE-BELIEVE magnet.
While you are waiting for your personalized, signed hardback or paperback to land in your hands, enjoy the first two chapters of this second Rokesby novel. If you’ve already read the online excerpt and need a JQ fix to hold you over until May 30, check out JQ’s author notes for The Secrets of Sir Richard Kenworthy, which contains these goodies: insight into The Shepherdess, the Unicorn, and Henry VIII (JQ’s mise en abyme and revenge upon her sisters), the video inspiration for the baby sheep featured in said play, and why Iris is reading that particular Jane Austen book in the carriage. Enjoy!

Thanks, iBooks!
“We loved the novel’s Revolutionary War setting and slow-burn love story.”

More Make Believe!
Chapter Two! Last month JQ posted Chapter One from The Girl With the Make-Believe Husband. Did you read it yet? If not, catch up, because today the story continues. Enjoy!
If you preorder, you will have it on May 30, the day it releases.
While you are waiting, enjoy a few highlights on JuliaQuinn.com, including JQ’s insider peek into the writing of Because of Miss Bridgerton (the first of the Rokesby Series), the answer to whatever happened to Posy Reiling, and groove along to JQ’s Soundtrack for one of her first novellas, which highlights one of the most fabulously silly lines in all of her books: “Saying moo on cue at Waterloo.” Have fun!
