Your novels have dealt with some tough issues, including rape, sexual abuse and some ugly family relations. Has your career in family law informed your stories? Has writing about these topics--particularly in the romance genre where there's always a happy ending--been cathartic?
Grace Burrowes
My own family sitch has been nearly ideal, so probably not cathartic. Romance characters need defining traumas, and these factors serve well. More than the HEA, the read has to deliver that growth arc to GET to the HEA.

Grace Burrowes:
Dear Grace, are all of the Windham cousins going to have their own stories, or are only Tony's daughters going to be featured? After all, Peter did have daughters as well. Are the contemporary novels going to feature any Windhams? Why is there a question mark for a couple of the relationships on the family trees of the Lonely Lords? Surely it can't be hard to determine whether they were legitimate or illegitimate.
