The Bevelstoke Series

• About The Bevelstoke Series...

  The Bevelstoke Series is less of a series than it is a collection of novels that had secondary characters I wanted to write about. I started with The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever, which was about the aforementioned Miranda and Turner Bevelstoke. Turner's sister Olivia was so much fun that I wrote What Happens in London, in which she falls in love with Sir Harry Valentine. But Sir Harry had a cousin named Sebastian Grey, who almost stole the show (in fact, some might say he did; see Chapter 17). So Sebastian got his story in Ten Things I Love About You.

  I have a feeling this is a never-ending process, because there are at least three secondary characters from London and Ten Things who need stories of their own...

• Have you ever thought of writing all of Miss Butterworth and the Mad Baron?

  I’m afraid not, although lots of fans have been asking. It was tons of fun to write the excerpts that have appeared in It’s in His Kiss, What Happens in London, Ten Things I Love About You, and Just Like Heaven, but in all honesty, I don’t think I could keep it up for an entire novel. Not to mention that I couldn’t possibly do justice to the pigeon scene.

• I love the secondary characters in What Happens in London and Ten Things I Love About You. Will you ever write a book about Winston Bevelstoke, Edward Valentine, or Lady Louisa McCann?

  All three are definitely on the radar, but right now I’m focusing on the Smythe-Smith Quartet, so it’ll be a few years, at least.

• Will you ever write a story for the Smythe-Smith girls?

  I already have! I’m planning to write four in total. Just Like Heaven and A Night Like This are already available, and two more will follow soon.
