Thanks so much to
those of you who've written to tell me that you enjoyed reading Let Sleeping Rogues Lie
(School for Heiresses)!
Since some of you have been asking about what comes next, I thought I'd update
everyone on what to expect from me in the next year and a half.
First up is a
novella in a Christmas-themed anthology to come out from Pocket on October
28, 2008, entitled Snowy Night
with a Stranger. My
story (written but still untitled) will feature sweet little Elinor Bancroft
from Let Sleeping
Rogues Lie. The hero,
however, will be new to the series. The other two authors with stories in the
anthology are Jane Feather and Julia London, so it should be quite a treat for
historical readers, especially those of you who enjoy Christmas stories.
The last two books
of the series will come out back to back in July and August of 2009. The July
book, which I'm writing now, is about Lucy Seton, the outspoken colonel's
daughter first mentioned in Beware a Scot's Revenge (School for Heiresses, Book 3) and then appearing in Let Sleeping
Rogues Lie. Her hero is
also new, although you should count on catching a glimpse of characters from
previous books. Mrs. Harris will of course be an important character, and you
do find out some more about Cousin Michael (although not enough to tell you who
he is, if I do my job right--I know, I'm such a tease). And that's because ...
The August book is
Charlotte and Cousin Michael's story! All will be revealed, including some
surprising turns (I hope). For those of you writing me with your speculations
about Michael's identity, I'm just warning you now--I'm not telling. All
speculations will be met with the same answer: Your conjecture is just as
plausible as everyone else's. And that's all I'm sayin'. ;-)
For those of you
who'd like to try one of my earlier books, Avon will be reissuing The Pirate Lord (Lord Trilogy, Book 1), my
very first Sabrina Jeffries title, in September 2008 with a new cover. Some
pirates bent on retiring kidnap a shipload of convict women for their wives.
But the pirate captain doesn't count on opposition from a pretty reformer
traveling with the women. It's my Seven Brides for Seven Brothers meets The
Pirates of Penzance story. Crazy idea, I know, but that's how my mind works!
Also, I've been
putting out a new comic strip over at the Goddess Blogs.
It features two of the character figures (toys?) that sit on my
desk--Shakespeare and Jane Austen--who take great pleasure in annoying one
another. There's a
