Is writing your only career? Without getting too personal, what are the typical advances like for writing for a big publisher in your genre?
Katherine Reay
It is now and I'm so thankful it can be. To be honest, the advance question is impossible to answer. Advances can very from what feels like very little for one's work to what is extraordinary. One way you can get an estimation is by looking at the deal announcements on Publishers Marketplace. The terms "nice deal", "very good deal", etc all have numeric values and you can look up what those are --I'm sorry I don't know them off the top of my head.

I've noticed that your novels are published by Harper Collins Christian publishing/Thomas Nelson. But none of them seem to have a particularly Christian theme. Are they concerned with religion or Christian themes? Or are they just inoffensive to Christian sensibilities?

I just finished reading The Austen Escape last night! I couldn't put it down. I have now read all of your books and, I must say, they are all delightful reads. Your books are among my favorites. :) If you saw The Austen Escape adapted into a movie, who could you see playing Mary, Isabel, and Nathan?
