Author Secrets: A Tale Of Two Lovers

The characters in A Tale Of Two Lovers aren't the only ones with secrets. This author has a few, too.

Two Lovers was inspired by the first ten minutes of the Katherine Hepburn/Spencer Tracy movie Woman Of The Year. The heroine, Lady Julianna Somerset, is inspired by Hepburn: statuesque, strong, and delightfully direct.


Roxbury's scandalous parking spot was inspired by a wickedly funny poem by a cowboy poet in Wyoming. Wish I could find the guy and the poem. I'm working on it–stay tuned.


Roxbury appears in The Heir And The Spare. True to form, he flirts with the heroine.


I have no idea what the drapes in Roxbury's house look like. If you have to ask, you need to read the book.
