Eloisa James:
Hi, Eloisa! I have read two of your series thus far (Fairy Tales and Desperate Duchesses--and My American Duchess), and while both are phenomenal, they are very different in terms of both style and substance. Is this more of an intentional shift, or merely a product of playing with different plots and characters? If intentional, which style is your favorite?
Eloisa James
It's intentional. I think that a fairy tale (rewritten) needs to have a very different tone than a novel set in the Georgian period (high drama & very witty, snarky people). You'll probably find all my series different -- I am no good at writing the same thing again and again. It's one of the reasons why I'm slower than some; if I find myself getting in a rut, I delete and start over.

This isn't a question, it's a comment. My daughter and I had "Tea" with Eloisa in San Antonio several years ago. She was so gracious, so very nice that I will buy her books until I can't read books. I've had an interesting life that has let me be around several celebrities and only one other (Vincent Price) was as nice. Thank you EJ.i need a question mark. Why are you so nice?
