Megan Frampton Carolyn, I am so sorry! I am forwarding your question to the Avon folks, I'll see if they can help. If they can't, I'll send you a copy.
Megan Frampton I don't know quite what you mean, but if you are asking about copyright infringement, I believe that titles are not subject to copyright law.
Megan Frampton I don't get inspired or not inspired, actually--I just usually like my characters, and want to discover where they might be going (I don't outline, so what they do is a surprise to me until I write it).
Megan Frampton I am working on another duke novel, this one with the sister of the heroine from Put Up Your Duke (out in June). More details when I can share them!
Megan Frampton Read in your chosen genre, accept criticism gracefully, do your research, and know that there is no magic path to publication--it's a lot of hard work. Writing itself is a part-time job, as is doing the research to find out where best to offer/place your work.
Megan Frampton Probably the best thing about being a writer is that you have many other worlds to inhabit, inside your head.
Megan Frampton Probably Jane Eyre, since Bronte's classic is an inspiration in so many ways. But in The Duke's Guide, I've got a governess who stands up to the aristocrat in charge, and that harkens back, on its surface, to Jane Eyre. I love governess/lord stories and definitely plan on writing more of them, eventually.
Megan Frampton I don't really get writer's block, mostly because my characters are so chatty with one another. What I get is insecurity about what I'm writing, and then I usually just sit down and reread what I've got so far and think, "Well, maybe it's not that bad."
Megan Frampton No, not published, but I do have another book with a soldier suffering from PTSD, like Alasdair (he has nightmares, but isn't addicted to opium). I haven't finished it yet, but perhaps some day one of my publishers will want it. Thanks for asking!
