I hope this isn’t inappropriate; we’ve interacted a bit on Twitter and I’m curious about the fiction-editing world (freelance or otherwise). I don’t want to waste your time, but if you’d be willing to chat briefly via email I would greatly appreciate it. In any case, thank you for your interesting posts and your marvelous, marvelous writing!
Thanks for stopping by and following my blog. Always enjoy your posts. I can easily relate to the out-of-control garden . . .
Hi KJ,
I saw this pre-order title on kobo.com for Aug 11, 2015. Is this yours, any more details on it?
A Fashionable Indulgence: A Society of Gentlemen Novel
It certainly is. That’s book 1 of the Regency trilogy I’ve sold to Loveswept. A dandy helping a young Radical turned gentleman fit into polite society. Blurb and cover are underway!
is the trilogy mm?
Yes! Loveswept’s first. 🙂
Yaaa! for you.
. . . and with your caliber of writing, those books will be just wonderful. Can’t wait.
Hi KJ I am a recent fan of your flight of magpies series having found it via the short story Remnant. I love your books and I was just wondering if you have a newsletter or anything so I can keep up with new releases and such. Thanks!
I don’t. I should, shouldn’t I? I will try to get that organised. If you’re on Twitter or Facebook i’m there (@kj_charles), and here. And, uh, Jackdaw releases tomorrow of course… 🙂 Thank you for asking, I really appreciate it!
Hi KJ,
Just following up on A Fashionable Indulgence- is it still on? I asked because a week or so ago I saw a book with pretty much the same cover and thought -geez, did KJ changed her mind or is this a coincidence? anyway let me know. I have the pre-ordered version on my wish list at ARe. If it’s still on, will it come out in epub as well?
Yes, still on. Sadly, stock photos mean you get similar covers! Fashionable Indulgence is out August, in e.
whew! glad to hear it.
Hi! I’m a huge fan of your books and they’re always an insta-buy for me :). I really loved Think of England, and I was wondering if you had any plans in the future to revisit Daniel and Archie? I think their story was so special and I’d love to see more of them.
Oh, thank you! That’s lovely to know. I do have a sequel planned but it won’t be till next summer, for contractual reasons. But it’s definitely in the pipeline.
