Momoko asked Julia Quinn:

Hi Julia, I just want to say that "The Duke & I" was my first foray into historical romance genre, and it's because of it, that I cling to this genre so much. The promise of a happy ending is the sweetest of them all. But, no matter how many books I read, "The Duke & I" and YOU will always hold an extra special place in my heart. Although "Splendid" is my most favorite book. ;) Do you have any plans for Charlie?

Julia Quinn Thanks! The Duke and I is also very special to me, not because it's the first Bridgerton book but rather because I felt that my writing really grew and advanced with it.

As for Splendid, I'm always tickled when someone says it's her favorite. It was my first book, and so to me it seems less polished. But I do think you can see joy in the writing---I was having so much fun!

We probably won't see more about Charlie, though. I think I'm done with those characters. The books in the Splendid series were written so long ago--I just don't really feel like I'm "in" that world any longer.
