Call Me Cordelia

Call Me Cordelia asked Janet Benton:

When is your next novel?? I adored "Lili de Jong!"

Janet Benton Hi, thanks so much for getting in touch! My next novel is in process. I'm hoping to have a draft I can submit to publishers in 2026! I hope we're connected through here so you'll know when it's coming out. Alternatively, you're welcome to let me know if you'd like to be added to my newsletter mailing list. I'm going to send out my first newsletter in several years soon (so no need to worry about being overrun by them). I'll be offering some fiction workshops, online, too--in case of interest. In any case, happy reading! And if you haven't read her yet, I recommend the diary novels of Geraldine Brooks--I loved Year of Wonders especially, and Caleb's Crossing is also good. Sending warm regards, Janet

Janet, I loved Lilli De Jong. I read this book over a year ago and I still have chills when I think about her dedication to her daughter and to herself. My only question is when will you be releasing your next book?

Becky Zagor asked Janet Benton:

What can I say but a BEAUTIFUL, moving story that I just finished! WOW! Your historical detail, your angst over living conditions and the dilemmas facing unwed mothers was AMAZING! Tell me what you find to be the most unexpected delight of being a mother?
