Christina Hwang Dudley is the author of clean historical and contemporary romance.

Her historical romances include the Hapgoods of Bramleigh and Ellsworth Assortment series of Regency romances, including THE NATURALIST and TEMPTED BY FOLLY.

In contemporary romance, her forthcoming PRIDE AND PRESTON LIN (Third State Books, 2024) riffs on Austen, but this time the story is set in the San Francisco Bay Area, with Asian American protagonists who hail from different ends of the economic spectrum.

I thought about Rosie, but she was so much younger that writing her story would take me later than my usual period. Which is not to say I never will, but... More likely I would make a short story and send it to my newsletter readers as a bonus. :)
There WILL be a coming-together of the Ellsworths and the Hapgoods, however, even tangentially, when I get to Beatrice Ellsworth's story. If you happen to notice in A Fickle Fortune, she is mentioned!(less)

The short answer is YES, I made a vow not to let another six years pass before I got on with it this time. I'm already kicking around ideas for Margaret's story and doing some research. Because she's only fifteen when SCHOOL FOR LOVE ends, a decent amount of time has to pass, and I've been mulling over what happens to everyone in the interim. Thank you again for your readership!(less)

Yeehaw! I've finally finished. Having only read an abridged version previously, I'm glad I undertook the real deal. Let me just say, though, abridgment is our friend.

Who knew? I wasn't aware the library even had a copy!

My sister and I used to love going to the Santa Clara library and checking out a modest stack of Regency romances. :)
