Amy asked Charles Todd:

I am halfway through An Irish Hostage and love it just as much as all the previous Bess books. I absolutely LOVE Bess’s independence and admire her for it. However. I’m dying to see Simon and Bess finally admit they love one another! 🤣 Thank you for these amazing stories! How many do you intend to have in the series?

Charles Todd Dear Amy:

Maintaining the standards Caroline and I established over these many years is vital as I work on continuing both series. The manuscript ifor the next Rutledge Mystery is complete and going through rigorous review before submission. I am encouraged so far.

Right now, I am working on the manuscript for the next Bess Mystery. There are a lot of issues in Bess's life to consider. I hope the new Rutledge will be release in 2024 and the next Bess shortly there after. I too love Bess's independance and her caring. It is critical to make certain the new Bess is done right!

Stay Tuned...

All the Best,
Charles Todd
