Hi Ellery, I'm really keen on the series of the secret, book, & scone. I've read several of them and they're magical. I'm from Ukraine, and English is not my native, while I'm using it pretty often. Sad, but I wasn't able to find any translation of your books. I was wondering if it's legal & appropriate if I post some of your books translated by myself in my blog?It's totally personal use, none of commercial purposes

Ellery Adams Hi Marilia,

I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoy my books, and it must be frustrating to have to read them in another language. I certainly wish they were available in every language! And while you can translate and post certain passages on your blog, you couldn't post the entire work without permission from the publisher. It wouldn't hurt to ask, and here's an email for the person at Kensington you'd need to write: sgruninger@kensingtonbooks.com

Dawn asked Ellery Adams:

I have read the complete book retreat series and have read some of the others. Why do you choose to have your heroin have a successful relationship develop and blossom into part of her life over the series? I find it very refreshing and it makes me believe that a successful "business" woman can have both, a career and a relationship or even marriage. Not many books with female characters manage this, so thank you!

Grumpybookworm asked Ellery Adams:

I've been reading the Secret, Bone, and Book Society books (excited for the third one!), and I notice some of the characters share names of famous literary characters and that they share similar stories of those characters. Hester (Hester Prynne), Estella (Estella Havisham), Vanessa Macavity...). Are all the characters so strategically named? I couldn't find much about Nora or Jedidiah, so I was curious. Thanks!
