One of the lovely things about discovering what a great writer Pamela is is that she's got a backlist. I love it when I discover a great new writer and I can really get my teeth into a body of work. Looking forward to reading more of Pamela's! Thanks for the good wishes for the Aussie edition of COS. Went chasing around the shops yesterday in the hope I'd see it but it's not out here yet.Anna Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695579361323275316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-17242907108186657482009-12-09T18:51:16.914-07:002009-12-09T18:51:16.914-07:00Hi Lucy!

I've read a couple (I think Ride the Fire is a masterpiece!) and hope to read some more over my Christmas/New Year break when I have some serious reading plans.

We still get a lot of British TV and books and of course, all our systems are based on the British models. And the Queen is still our head of state.Anna Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695579361323275316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-15951417278044227802009-12-09T18:48:43.203-07:002009-12-09T18:48:43.203-07:00Amanda, thank you so much.

And you are in for a big treat with Pamela's novels once you read one you won't be able to stop believe me.

Just like your books, they are original, very well written and so enjoyable! Oh and her contemporaries are freaking great!<br />I'm re-reading Julian's story yet again (I was in a lousy mood last night and really needed my comfort read (g)) and then it's Hunter's turn. Well, there is only a few month's til NE is released so I'm getting prepared :)<br /><br />Hope you're feeling better, Pam.Lucyhttp://www.everafter.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-10570951788905336592009-12-08T06:38:45.543-07:002009-12-08T06:38:45.543-07:00Hi, Kaye — Thanks so much.

And you're so right about Anna's books — they are not the norm.<br /><br />You know, one thing I didn't mention that I ought to have included was the fact that, as an Aussie, Anna includes more authentic “British-isms” than most American authors would be able to include. I actually learn new words. LOL!<br /><br />Hi, Marilyn — You're welcome, and happy holidays to you, too!<br /><br />Hi, Amanda — I'm so glad you enjoyed CAPTIVE OF SIN. I just loved Gideon. :-)<br /><br />We've got a lot of snow here. And it keeps falling.

I have an old-fashioned film camera - yeah, I know, get with the times, Campbell! I think I'll have to - last time I got film developed, it cost me a fortune. <br /><br />At Syon House just outside London, I think I caught them on a good day. One guy in particular basically gave me the inside goss on the family history for the last 100 years (fairly tragic actually - there's a sad family tradition of the heir dying and the second in line inheriting). He'd had a day of school groups in, it was a quiet, cold, rainy afternoon in late March before the busy season started, and I think my complete fascination was obvious. I'm so grateful to the people who took the time to talk to me when I visited stately homes. It makes everything much more vivid than just reading the guidebooks.<br /><br />Actually Syon is an amazing place to visit and pretty accessible from central London.

I'm so glad you feel the same way about Anna's books that I do. And I'll admit I'm happy you've read and enjoyed some of mine, as well. :-)<br /><br />Enjoy the warm weather Down Under. It's f-f-freezing (or below, actually) here right now with snow forecast for the next several days.<br /><br />Anna, I'd love to hear more about your experience talking to the Duke of Northumberland's retainers. How did you manage to gain access to them? And please feel free to share photos of that trip!<br /><br />Jennie, you're welcome!

I've only recently discovered them as well. I've promised myself a reading binge between Christmas and New Year and there will definitely be some PCs involved in that. Can't wait. <br /><br />Hey, cool about picking up the Aussie COS. Isn't that a gorgeous cover? I just love it. Not sure of the actual release date. I've got my author copies so it can't be far away. <br /><br />Actually I got the idea for MY RECKLESS SURRENDER when I was in England in 2004 - or at least the seed of an idea that turned into the story. I was talking to some family retainers at the Duke of Northumberland's family house in London and I thought, "It's like they own the place - they and their family have had as long an association with the estate as the dukes. And yet, they don't have any real rights to this place they've dedicated their lives to." It really struck me as a powerful irony. Won't say more but you'll see where that comes in when you read the book in June!Anna Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695579361323275316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-56063645441415069652009-12-05T13:04:12.635-07:002009-12-05T13:04:12.635-07:00Hi Anna and Pamela
