While I’m on vacation, I thought I’d add some updates about And Shadows Will Fall. Originally, I included this in another post, but since I’m still getting questions I thought I’d repost it here.
Keep your questions coming. I love hearing from readers.
What About And Shadows Will Fall?
In addition to reading as many books as I can and taking some time for myself this summer, I’ll also finish the next draft of And Shadows Will Fall. For those of you who have asked about a publication date, thank you.
As always, I’m terrible at guessing when books will be done. I’m cautiously optimistic that a 2024 publication date is in the cards. At the moment, it looks like ASWF will be a novella at about 30,000 words, but I won’t have a definite word count until the final edits are complete.
And Shadows Will Fall is Book Six in the Loving Husband Series, but as far as placement it belongs between Her Loving Husband’s Return and The Duchess of Idaho. I’d love to write my books in order, but I’ll take my inspiration where I can find it.
The story focuses on how James and Sarah deal with the changes James experienced in Her Loving Husband’s Return. True or false: the story was inspired by something a fan of the series said to me. If you guessed true, you are correct!
More than that would be spoilers!
I cannot wait, I have bèen missing The Wentworth’s. I really want to have a book about their son and Geoffry too.
I think you’re going to be pleasantly surprised by And Shadows Will Fall, Freedom. It goes back to the past/present storyline and it’s similar in tone to the original trilogy. John Geoffrey is still a baby in this story, and here’s a little spoiler…Grandpa Geoffrey definitely makes an appearance!
Cant wait for the new james and sarah book. So glad its going back to the story like the trilogy.
Great to hear from you, Ona! I’m so excited about the new Loving Husband book too. I think fans will enjoy the trip back to the same format as the original trilogy. James has a lot to learn about his “new” life!
