That idea never panned out, but I do hope to write more some day. During my research, I once ran across an article from the 1890s about a German princess who ran away with a footman, sailed to America, was abandoned by said footman (after he stole from her), then wandered New York, alone, until she became gravely ill. She ended up in a wealthy neighborhood, where she was RECOGNIZED, taken in, and died of pneumonia. Now there's a story that deserves a happy ending. I can't write that one because I can't find the original article and do more research. I'm a stickler about this point. The story sounds contrived, so I feel it's important to show readers that this actually happened.Jane Goodgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06544053574490816711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741930723852815864.post-86714647945754429952008-10-16T07:04:00.000-06:002008-10-16T07:04:00.000-06:00Jane,An English lady in Texas...yep, you could hav...Jane,<BR/><BR/>An English lady in Texas...yep, you could have an amazingly fun time with that! :0)<BR/><BR/>I can imagine the sales focus can get frustrating, but from the excitement you're generating here, I can't believe your sales aren't going to be off the charts!<BR/><BR/>TiffanyTiffany Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445392325230287029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741930723852815864.post-82167342912889969672008-10-16T07:03:00.000-06:002008-10-16T07:03:00.000-06:00Kimmyl:I forgot to answer your other question! Of ...Kimmyl:<BR/><BR/>I forgot to answer your other question! Of course I require fidelity, that's a given. I also work hard to make my characters true to their time. This can be difficult because as modern women, it is not always easy to accept an 18th Century woman's actions. It's easy to say: I could never be forced to marry someone. Yes you could---if you were born in 1870. My men always have a sense of humor and a strong sense of honor...and they are ALL drop-dead gorgeous.Jane Goodgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06544053574490816711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741930723852815864.post-78658310181752906172008-10-16T07:01:00.000-06:002008-10-16T07:01:00.000-06:00Dena,I completely agree, plus I love how Jane took...Dena,<BR/><BR/>I completely agree, plus I love how Jane took a story with a sad ending and gave it a happy one.<BR/><BR/>TiffanyTiffany Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445392325230287029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741930723852815864.post-17298122086003572542008-10-16T07:00:00.000-06:002008-10-16T07:00:00.000-06:00Kimmy,Nice question!

The next is a spin-off of Marry Christmas and is definitely going to be released next October (no title yet). After that, if my editor agrees, I'd like to complete this series of books by sending an English lady (Lord Hollings' little sister) to Texas. I could have so much fun with that! Finally, I have an idea brewing that I REALLY want to write. I love tortured heroes, and this one would be, by far, my most tortured guy. Everything depends on sales, sales, sales. Ugh. But I love this idea so much, I just my write it anyway.Jane Goodgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06544053574490816711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741930723852815864.post-32419996482113206372008-10-15T21:49:00.000-06:002008-10-15T21:49:00.000-06:00I liked Jane's interview and her book sounds reall...I liked Jane's interview and her book sounds really great.

I write during breaks when I teach, at night after the kids go to bed, and the days I'm not working, I write like mad (when the kids are in school). And I write very quickly, so if I can squeeze in a few minutes, I can get some good work done.Jane Goodgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06544053574490816711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741930723852815864.post-79154483230469725082008-10-15T17:33:00.000-06:002008-10-15T17:33:00.000-06:00Dina:A certain review site said, "Ick, what a terr...Dina:<BR/><BR/>A certain review site said, "Ick, what a terrible title for a book."
