Just finished Maids of Misfortune and loved it. I heard you speak at the San Diego's Writer's Conference a couple years back and I'm so happy I finally started your series! Do you plan to continue writing in this genre? Also, what is your favorite part about writing historical fiction?

Dear Simone,
Thanks for reading the book, and writing the lovely review! Yes, I plan on continuing to write in this genre featuring the same characters but each book focusing on a different occupation (and in the short stories focusing on some of the minor characters). So, while Maids of Misfortune featured domestic service, Uneasy Spirits looked at spiritualists, Bloodly Lessons, teachers, and the newest book Deadly Proof, women in printing in SF. So now I am busy starting the research for the next one--which I think will deal in some ways with women in the "needle trades" and department stores.
By the way, Bloody Lessons will be 99 cents May 5-7 on most ebook retailers. And if you sign up for my newsletter--you can get a copy of the collected short stories for free (See my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/mlouisalocke..., or blog http://mlouisalocke.com to sign up.)
Again, thanks for you support.

I am reading the 5th book, Pilfered Promises. Have completed all the books, except the 4 short story book. That is next. Love the books! When is the next, 6th book, coming? Looking forward to hearing from you. FYI, got tuned into your Maids of Misfortune by my husband, who got the book from Book Bub. Have devoured the rest since reading the 1st one.
