How do I best describe it though? Rolling hills (no mountains)with mostly farmland and forests. Lots of thatched cottages in the smaller villages. Cobbled streets with sidewalk cafes...but quite expensive. Almost everyone speaks English. Lots of bicycles (like Holland), Beer drinking nation, very clean and a capital city that's easy to get around due to it's small size.Sophie Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00013069566515891807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6532599129077751889.post-9662629129305378042012-01-31T12:41:19.339-08:002012-01-31T12:41:19.339-08:00Hi Karen - Thanks for posting.

Still in the bottom drawer waiting to see light of day again?<br /><br />I love historical romance, especially Regency and Victorian. Some of my favorite authors are Sabrina Jeffries, Liz Carlyle, Candice Hern and Stephyanie Laurens, just to name a few. <br /><br />If your book was made into a film, who do you picture as playing the lead parts?<br /><br />kareninnc at gmail dot comKaren Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732638672537005826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6532599129077751889.post-15831095827808460792012-01-31T11:28:06.379-08:002012-01-31T11:28:06.379-08:00Sounds like an awesome read!!!

Miss Rutherford will not be a series, simply because all the loose ends are all tied up in a neat bow by the end of the book. However, my next release from Harper Collins, which should be out this summer, will be a series. I have three books for it so far that follow each of the three Summersby siblings, and am planning to add more that center around some of the secondary characters. You can read more about these books and their plots at: www.sophiebarnes.comSophie Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00013069566515891807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6532599129077751889.post-62796978581919252322012-01-31T09:39:28.534-08:002012-01-31T09:39:28.534-08:00I wouldn't say it's shaped my interest in ...I wouldn't say it's shaped my interest in the types of books I write, but it certainly helps that I've been to the places that I write about.<br />Thanks for stopping by Anash, and thanks for the question =)Sophie Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00013069566515891807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6532599129077751889.post-22594583988087798422012-01-31T09:06:27.037-08:002012-01-31T09:06:27.037-08:00I got my start on romance with Johanna Lindsey.

Love the Bridgeton series, and now falling in love with the Smythe-Smith. Can't wait for the next book about Daniel. <br />My question for you is: Are you turning this book into a series or going to be a stand-alone. Love series, because you get to follow along with the family or group of friends.<br />Love the title of this book and loved the blurb. Sophie is a new author for me and would love to win and read this book. I love to read and always looking for new books and authors to check out.

It brings me back to the adoration I had for the Julia Quinn, Amanda Quick, Johannna Lindsey books I loved and re-read so much! <br />What's so much fun about the regency era is how rigid society was, and how clever and sneaky the hero and heroine had to be in order to be naughty and have major sexual tension without anyone noticing. Oh so much fun!! And to get caught meant to be tied together forever *gasp* - the horror, the shame!
