(view spoiler)[Hi there congratulations on a wonderful Ian Rutledge series. I have just finished no. 24 and was delighted to find the ending which I won't quote as it contains a spoiler. I was hopeful that his career and the progress of his recovery would advance! As a close follower of English lit I look for anachronisms/Americanisms in the books and again congratulations on how few I could find. Only 1 glaring error? (hide spoiler)]

Dear Viccy:
Thank you,. It is a hard balance with what readers will understand and what is proper. I have tried to continue that process in the new titles that are coming shortly. A Christmas Witness ia Rutledge Christmas Novella will be released October 21, 2025 and a full mystery novel A Day of Judgement is scheduled for release on February 17. 2026.Both are available for preorder at your local independent bookseller and other outlets. I just submitted the manukscript for the new Bess. It keeps me busy and away from "troyuble",
All the Best,
Charles

I have been a fan of you and your beloved mother for a long time and I was so saddened to hear of her passing. I have enjoyed your great books and love Ian Rutledge best of all. Bess is good too but Ian is my favorite. With all the craziness going on in the world we need good books to take our minds off problems.. How did you and your mother get started writing best sellers?
