Sorry about that, Gary, but the rules of "Ask the Author" are a bit limiting. In that quote that reveals so much about Marcia, did you intend, before you began writing "Devil" to get so deep into the creative process of artists and their sacrifices to their work?
Gary Inbinder
You're right on target, H! Marcia, Betsy, Arthur and Lady Aggie appeared in an earlier novel, The Flower to the Painter, which indeed was about the creative process and artists' sacrifices to their work. I liked the characters so much I decided to bring them back in a murder mystery set in Paris during the 1889 Exposition.
While Marcia and the other characters from "Flower" don't appear in the Inspector Lefebvre series sequels, The Hanged Man (2016) and The Man Upon the Stair (expected publication February 2018), the inspector does retain his interest in contemporary art and artists.
Thanks for spotting and focusing on this significant paragraph!
