Hanne Vancanneyt asked Lucinda Riley:

Good afternoon Lucinda, First of al I wanna say wauw to your sister series 😍 There amazing and enjoying every minute of it. So far Ally is my favourite sis and currently reading Tiggy. But what I was wondering is how your start your books and how you do your historical research? Those parts in the books are so unique that I could’t help myself to ask you about 🙈🙈🙈 Hanne xxx

Lucinda Riley Dear Hanne,

I'm so pleased that you love the series! I always start with the location first -- so for 'The Moon Sister', that was Granada in Spain and the Scottish Highlands. I read as much as I could about both those locations and their history, and then I went to visit to experience it for myself. I spoke to the people that lived and worked there, and really got a feel for both places.

Then I begin to write! In the case of Tiggy's story, her voice came very naturally to me because she is very much like myself. I am now working on Electra's story, 'The Sun Sister', and you can pre-order now for October 31st here: http://lucindariley.co.uk/the-sun-sis...
