I love that you’ve picked up Dark Champion, one of my favourite offspring. I remember the raw energy of writing it, with an adventure on every page, not just for them, but for me, as I figured out what to do with whatever twist had turned up. (That’s how I write. Fun, but crazy fun!)

I don’t know how available it is right now, but supply must be running down as it’s going to be reissued again later in the years. NAL just had me do a Q&A for the back and I asked readers on my chat list and googlegroup newsletter lists for suggestions for questions. They came through with some good ones.

For the one about why I stopped writing medievals — it was mostly the market. I was rotating through regency, Georgian, and medieval, but the medievals were selling so less well than the other two that my publisher wanted me to stop. As I had ideas for the others coming at me fast, and nothing strongly pushing me toward medieval, that was fine. I just didn’t expect it to last so long!

I do hope to write some medievals again, but those ideas. they keep coming, dragging me Georgian-wards at the moment,

Best wishes,

Jo

She writes SF/F? Under the same name?

I love that she writes a variety of things and does them all well. Her fantasies/sf are favorites of mine too. :)

I did love this book though. Enough that I might just read it again.

It is a pretty cover though. And FitzRoger was yummy. :-)

I thought this book was terrific. Jo Beverley really does have a way of making the setting utterly believable and realistic, and never losing the romantic core of things.

And mmm, FitzRoger!
