A Father-Daughter Story for You

December 23, 2019

The holidays are sentimental, and TeamJQ is celebrating both beloved books and family memories. Since The Duke and I is turning 20 on January 5, and since Bridgerton will air on Netflix later in 2020, we thought it might be nice to share an essay JQ wrote about the special bond she shares with her father about the written word.

This piece first appeared at the end of the trade paperback edition of The Duke and I, but this is the first time it will have appeared on the web. Check out the newest JuliaQuinn.com Book Extra for The Duke and I and get an inside peek into when JQ first started writing, and then years later, when she created Lady Whistledown.

Enjoy the first five minutes of The Duke and I on audio, or read the Prologue and Chapter One right here on JuliaQuinn.com. Buy your copy in your favorite format.

Happiest of Holidays to everyone who celebrates!
