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!
Ellery Adams
Such a great question! I thought it would be a refreshing change to keep the drama out of her relationship and channel it into the mystery. I believe many women recognize themselves in Jane in that she wears so many hats. So many of us want to be great parents, partners, and friends while also succeeding in our careers. It's not easy, and Jane's everyday challenges are relatable. Chasing killers? Nto so much! LOL.

Hey Ellery, Are you ever out doing book signing events in the DFW area? If so, I’d love to meet you! I can’t get enough of your series, and I recommend your Secret, Scone, and Book Society series to anyone and everyone I meet, and can’t wait to read book 7 when it is released!!

I loved The Book of Candlelight! This series is so interesting - I loved everything about this book. Though I was a little disappointed about Pat & Lou :) . I'd assumed from the beginning that they were a couple, and when Nora brought up the question I realized that we didn't really know. I'm curious - why did you choose to make them best friends rather than partners?

Not really a question? I do wish to say that I love that your Secret, Book, and Scone Society and Book Retreat series are set within 90 minutes of where I live in Southwest Virginia. I haven't found many cozy mysteries that are set in my little corner of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and it helps me involve myself more in the story because I inherently know of these places. Hope you have more of them in the future!
