It’s official! Miss Butterworth and the Mad Baron is going to be a GRAPHIC NOVEL!
JQ is extra excited about this — especially as it’s a collaboration with her sister Violet Charles of comics renown.
It will be well over a year before publication. As of now there is no firm release date, but as soon as any pre-order links become available we will of course post them here.
How can you see sneak peeks? JQ may post the occasional illustration on both Facebook and Instagram, but Violet will be posting tidbits about the project considerably more often, and JQ highly recommends fans of Miss Butterworth follow Violet on social media, specifically: @violetcharlescomics, fb/violetcharlescomics, or to see sneak peeks first as well as exclusive outtakes, follow Violet on Patreon.

3. Check out the list of all JQ’s books in setting chronological order. Then, for kicks, re-sort alphabetically by hero. Because haven’t you always wanted to read a list of JQ’s books sorted alphabetically by hero?
4. Skim all eight story summaries for the Bridgerton Second Epilogues to make sure you didn’t miss one.
5. Pre-order your ebook of The Other Miss Bridgerton, and then roll your eyes when you find out you ordered it six months ago. (Or breathe a sigh of relief when you realize you didn’t order it six months ago; either way, it means you’ll have it zapped to your e-reader at the stroke of midnight on release day.)
6. Squee again over Netflix’s plans for The Bridgertons! (Bookmark that post. It will be updated as info is released/confirmed.)
7. Skim through all 13 Bridgerton FAQ — there’s bound to be stuff you didn’t know.
