Vonze asked Julia Quinn:

Hi Julia, love your work and the world of characters you have created. How do you decide which couple to write about next? Do you have the couples in mind when planning a series? Or have you liked a certain character so much you decided you wanted to write his or her romance on a whim?

Julia Quinn If I'm working on a series I usually know one of the characters who will star in each book, but I don't usually have them both in mind. An exception would be Romancing Mr. Bridgerton--I always knew it would be Colin and Penelope.

I don't often have a character come along demanding a book if I wasn't already planning to write one for him or her. The closest I can think to an exception to this would be Sebastian Grey. I was pretty sure I was going to write about him after What Happens in London, but when he got up and read Miss Butterworth and the Mad Baron that totally clinched it.
