About the Book:

With two months left to find a husband to fulfill her grandmother’s ultimatum, Lady Celia Sharpe sets her sights on three eligible bachelors. Becoming betrothed to one of these wealthy, high-ranking men will surely prove her capable of getting married, so hopefully the wedding itself won’t be necessary for Celia and her siblings to receive their inheritance. Step two of her audacious plan is hiring the dangerously compelling Bow Street Runner Jackson Pinter to investigate the three men she’s chosen. But with Lady Celia bedeviling Jackson’s days and nights, the last thing he wants is to help her find a husband. And when she recalls shadowed memories that lead his investigation into her parents’ mysterious deaths in a new direction—putting her in danger—Jackson realizes the only man he wants Celia to marry is himself!

1) What’s the first thing you do when starting a new book? What’s the first thing you do when finishing a new book?

Believe it or not, the answer to both of these is the same—I do a jigsaw puzzle! When I start, the jigsaw puzzle is to help me plot the book (I have to plot the book before I can go on—I’m NOT a seat-of-the-pants writer). When I finish, the jigsaw puzzle is to help me decompress and come down from the high of finishing the book (and help me deal with the postpartum depression J). I do a lot of jigsaw puzzles!

2) If you could have one super power what would it be?

To be invisible. I would love to be able to sneak in anywhere I want and know all the secrets of the world!

3) When you set out to write a book, are you usually sparked by a story idea or a character?

I’m plot-driven, so it’s almost always a story idea. But if I’m in a series, and I know that the character is going to be one I’ve already developed, that will influence the idea.

4) Do you listen to music while you write? If yes, what do you like to listen to?

I sometimes listen to music, mostly soundtrack music from films like Pride and Prejudice, The Piano, The Duchess … Anything with a historical flavor. I also keep a soundtrack of songs that relate to the book or characters, but I only listen to those when I’m NOT writing to sort of prime the pump.

5) What's up next for you?

My next book is a Christmas hardcover (‘Twas the Night After Christmas, out on October 30, 2012) with Pierce Waverly as the hero (he appears as a secondary character in the last two Hellions books). It’s something of a stand-alone, but it will introduce the main character for my new series, which begins next year. Since that’s still in the formative stages, I’m not ready to talk about it yet, but I’m very excited about it. The first book of THAT series will probably have the Duke of Lyons as a hero.
