Thanks, Catherine! I just finished reading But Madame You are in France and loved it. Left a review on Goodreads.

Thank you so much. As I’ve said before, you always have new, and helpful, ideas for other authors to follow.

I enjoyed reading about how you came to write the series and how you keep the stories fresh, Darlene. Thank you for sharing this part of your story.

Thanks, Norah. Sometimes I feel like the well is running dry but then an idea comes to me from the strangest places.

“Writers should be great at eavesdropping.” Now that is an intriguing writing tip and not one I had ever thought of. I’ll definitely be keeping that in mind Darlene. Always a delight to hear more about what has helped you to such success.

Thanks! Writers are nosey by nature and eavesdropping just comes naturally. Of course, I get ideas from blogs I follow as well. As you know from the idea I got from you for the Holland book. I just read your mom’s post and loved it. xo

I always find it fascinating to read about “behind the scenes” if you will for writers. Discussing the challenges of keeping a series fresh and new, yet familiar is a challenge I hadn’t even thought about as I have always loved reading series my entire life. Thanks again for sharing your process!!

Darlene

Until I started writing a series, I didn’t think about it either! And I read many series.
