Hi Jane, I'll be reading Solitaire next after the other books in the Clara Vine series. I've enjoyed all of them! My question is when will the next book in the series be available for purchase on Amazon and Audible? I saw this same question asked and answered by you, but it was 2 years ago. Will the next book be anytime soon (June 2019)

I have a standalone coming out from Ballantine in January 2020 called The Words I Never Wrote. It's set both in the present day and Europe between 1936 to 1945. It involves some of my favourite themes - love, espionage and war - and tells the story of two sisters who are separated by ideology, and forced to make big moral choices.The climax centres round the fall of Berlin, which was a terrible and turbulent time. But....I am still writing the sixth Clara Vine novel, set in Vienna, Hamburg and Berlin. That's so enjoyable, and I will definitely update you on pub date when I have it. (less)

There is another Clara Vine on the way, set in 1941 with flashbacks to 1937, but I have to finish a standalone novel first. I'm so pleased you like the series - it's such a pleasure to hear from people who've read them x(less)

Jane Thynne answered Jane's question: Hi Jane your books are amazing. I have 'binge read' the Clara Vine collection and I am loving the progression through history to see the inner workings of the fascist regime as it develops. So poignant and I'm seeing parallels in today's times. Will there be more Clara Vine after book 6? It's great to see strong female leads and spy stories set in Germany. Thank you! Hi Jane, it's great to hear from you, and thank you so much! Yes, I have another Clara Vine plotted out, and I'll be writing it soon. Really hope you enjoy it, Jane x

Jane Thynne answered Grace Galvan's question: Hi Jane, I really enjoyed the Rose Ransom novels. I was wondering if you are planning a book 3? Hi Grace, thank you so much for letting me know that. I'm delighted. Yes, there is a third Rose Ransom marinating in my mind and I'm excited to start writing it. I want to focus more on the widows themselves.

Quotes by Jane Thynne (?)

“It was about a year ago when I first made contact with members of the British Foreign Office. I volunteered my services and privileged information to a foreign power. Which is effectively treason, or would be, except that I regard it as pure patriotism. You see, Clara, I no longer recognize the Germany I love. I see these brutes strong-arming a small nation like Austria, and now threatening Czechoslovakia, because they can and because no one will stop them. I see them running riot with the rule of law - Germany, whose legal system is the greatest in the world, which has always stood for justice and right. And when I see this gang of thugs flooding the streets of my beloved country with tides of blood, I feel hatred swelling inside me. Damn Himmler and Heydrich and all the other sadists. I hate this false Germany, as much as I love the real Germany. And I intend to do something about it.”

“As she sucked on her cherry bonbon, her tongue found the ridge of the swastika on the fruitdrop's sugar coat, the sourness beneath the sweet, and the image of grandmother came to her, with her gentle eyes and her bagful of Gummi bears and marzipan pigs.”
