RFR: Today we
are joined by Grace Burrowes. Welcome
back Grace, as always it is a pleasure to have you at RomFan Reviews.
GB: And a pleasure to be here!
RFR: Tell us a little
about your newest release in the Windham Series, Lady Eve’s Indiscretion.
GB:
Eve Windham is the youngest and smallest of the Windham siblings, but
every bit as averse to marriage as her older brothers and sisters. As a very
young lady, she made disastrous decisions, and while her family thinks she’s
well past them—and physically she is to all appearances recovered—her heart
stiff suffers.
RFR: What can readers
look forward to in the future? More Windham’s
I hope?
GB: We could not leave Lady Jenny Windham
without a Happily Ever After and her story will come out in October. Because
that’s such a terribly, awfully, long time between Windhams, a second novella
for Their Graces, “A Duke and His Duchess,” will come out in March.
RFR: Since you
have visited with us before I decided to change up doing the boring standard
questions and do RomFan’s version of 20 questions.
20 Questions
1. Coffee or Tea?
GB: Mostly decaf black tea, but on days
when I have to go to court, I treat myself to one cup of jasmine green tea.
2. Coke or Pepsi?
GB: Neither.
3. Pirates or Highway Bandit?
GB: Huh?
4. Beer or wine?
GB: Whiskey or brandy—purely in the
interests of period research.
5. Muffins or Cupcakes?
GB: Both, especially if we’re talking
Nicholas Haddonfield’s muffin recipe.
6. Computer or Television?
GB: I don’t own a TV, soooo…
7. Would you travel the world or travel
space?
GB: World, and much in Concord.
8. My favorite pizza is…
GB: Uno’s, some thermonuclear deep dish
special I haven’t had in so long I forget the name
9. My favorite book genre is…
GB: Historical Romance!
10. My superpower of choice would be…
GB: The power to comfort and console the
brokenhearted
11. On a rainy day, you’ll find me…
GB: At my computer, my favorite angora
lambs wool scarf from Scotland around my neck while I type away at my WIP
12. When I get free time, I’ll...
GB: Sit on a toadstool and be grateful
13. If you had a million dollars…
GB: I’d give most of it to the Eastern
Mennonite University Conflict Transformation Program
14. My dream vacation would be…
GB: Six months in the UK
15. If you could be a character in any novel
you’ve ever read, who would you be and why?
GB: Annique Villiers from Joanna
Bourne’s The Spymaster’s Lady. She’s
resourceful, resilient, honorable, pretty, fantastically well written, and she
ends up with Robert Grey.
16. How many books do you read each
year?
GB: There was a time when I limited
myself to a book a day, but now I spend so much time writing, that I’d say I’m
at about two a week. I try to keep one craft book, one keeper book, and one
research book going at all times.
17. If you could pick a book to turn into a movie, which one would it be?
GB: Joanna Bourne’s The Spymaster’s Lady, or Loretta Chase’s Not Quite A Lady, which is also very dear to my heart.
18. If you could live anywhere in the world,
where would you live?
GB: Western Maryland—with a second home
in the UK.
19. Which store would you choose to max out
your credit card?
GB: Whatever store sells plane tickets
and travel accommodations. My family is spread all over the USA, and I very
much enjoy trips to the UK.
20. What
are you reading right now?
GB: Soldiers
at War (a compendium of first person accounts of the Peninsular Campaign),
Georgette Heyer’s The Grand Sophy,
and Donald Maass’ Writing 21st
Century Fiction.
RFR: Where can readers learn more about you and your books?
GB: My website, www.graceburrowes.com, has tons of info on my books, as well as my blog, excerpts, deleted scenes, a family tree for the Windhams, and a list of upcoming releases. On Facebook, my Grace
Burrowes Author page provides the day to day details, and I’m on twitter @graceburrowes.

LADY EVE’S INDISCRETION BY GRACE BURROWES – IN STORES FEBRUARY 2013
Lady Eve's Got The Perfect Plan…
Pretty,petite Evie Windham has been more indiscreet than her parents, the Duke and
Duchess of Moreland, suspect. Fearing that a wedding night would reveal her past, she's running out of excuses to dodge adoring swains. Lucas Denning, the newly titled Marquis of Deene, has reason of his own for avoiding marriage. So
Evie and Deene strike a deal, each agreeing to be the other's decoy. At this
rate, matrimony could be avoided indefinitely...until the two are caught in a
steamy kiss that no one was supposed to see.

Congrats on Lady Eve making the USA bestseller list. Hubby brought me the newspaper yesterday to show me "my" author. Can't wait to read part 2 of Their Graces' story. Do you know if that one will be an early release from Discover a New Love? Thanks, Bon
ReplyDeleteBonnie, Thanks and please thank Mr. Bonnie, too. And yes, The Duke and His Duchess should be up on Discover a New Love very shortly.
DeleteThank you for all your awesome books, Grace! Keep up the wonderful work! :)
ReplyDeleteAs long as people read 'em, I'll write 'em...and probably even after that. Thanks, Sandra.
DeleteLove your books Grace!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sheila, and thanks for stopping by.
DeleteSo proud of all your successes and that I can say, "I knew her when...." Congratulations and keep 'em coming! juleejadams(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julee, and I hope a lot of people will soon be saying that and that they're saying it for a long, successful time.
DeleteSpyMaster's Lady as a movie/mini-series would be fabulous. Do Nick's muffins start with cooked apples or fresh? Since I can't have the man, may as well cosole myself with his muffins...
ReplyDeleteHiya, KWW! FRESH! And they have walnuts or pecans in them, depending on what's in the larder. On occasion, there's a cream cheese frosting as well... Now I'm hungry.
DeleteI'm always excited when a new book is released by Grace Burrowes and I'm looking forward to ready Lady Eve's Indiscretion. It sounds like such a fantastic story.
