Quite a few people have asked me what's coming after THE DANGEROUS VISCOUNT. While the information is buried somewhere on the website, I thought I'd better make it accessible. My next book will feature Tarquin Compton, who is about to lose most of his clothes and be brought down a peg or several. I don't usually have anyone specific in mind when I create a hero, but Tarquin is very dark and I'm always happy to look at a picture of Richard Armitage (aren't you?) so here you are. The book is still untitled but it will be published in August 2011. I think the story is great fun and includes the reappearance of Sebastian, Diana, and Minerva from The DV.I am working on a book about Minerva, Diana's little sister. I'm not saying anything more now except, in Minerva's case, "be careful what you wish for...." No release date for this one yet. Gotta finish it first.
I'm halfway through DV right now, and loving it! I'm so glad to see here that we'll get more of these characters. Really looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteI'm almost done with DV. I am happy to hear that Minerva will get her own story.
ReplyDeleteMinerva was so fleshed out as a character--she had to have a story--and being so definite on what she wanted--well that's a recipe for conflict. I really enjoyed DV--Diana'a family was so funny--I would die if my father did what Diana's father subjected them to.
ReplyDelete@Phyl. Thanks so much for your review! I adored it because you totally got where I was going with the book. It's the review I'd have liked to write myself :)
ReplyDelete@Alyn and Victoria. About the second time Minerva appeared, I knew she was special. She reappears in Tarquin's book and now I'm having fun writing her story.
I just started reading The Dangerous Viscount and I am loving your writing. You are really great at building characters worth paying attention to. I just came to check out your website to see what you are working on, and I am so glad you will be writing a book about Minerva, she is one of my favorites so far.
ReplyDeleteHi Eimi: thank you so much for your comment and your compliment.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit behind but I can catch everything so far... Love your books and Good Lord, there were splendid. I love Richard Armitage and he's the most suitable man alive to be a hero in all historical romance novels. Thanks Miranda... p/s I do remember the scene of Sebastian's father's death in WAR & PEACE... nice catch though!
ReplyDelete@aziah - thank you. Glad you got the Tolstoy references - I like including these little "homages" t great authors.
ReplyDeleteRichard Armitage rocks!
