I was thrilled that you liked my review of The Alice Network! What inspired you to write in that time frame? It's such a departure from your other novels.
Kate Quinn
So glad you enjoyed "The Alice Network"! As to why I decided to jump into the 20th century to write, I've never been a one-era author--having always had ideas that spanned from the ancient world to the 20th century, it made sense to take a look at some of those later-set ideas when I saw the boom in 20th century war fiction. I decided to do some digging, some reading, some research to see if any ideas took off on me, and they did!

I read The Alice Network this week and loved it! (Laughed, cried, hated Rene!) and that got me to go back and reread your Rome series. I just finished Daughters and am on Mistress now, I love seeing the cameos from Daughters and just wondered if you already had that book in mind while writing Mistress, or if you used the mentions in Mistress and fleshed them out for Daughters? Either way, sooooo good!
