Michele asked Elisabeth Barrett:

Hi Elisabeth, I'm super excited about your new series coming out in July, Return to Briarwood, what I wanted to know is can you give us more background? Who will the series be about, siblings, friends... and do you have in mind how many books will be in this new series? Have an awesome day! Michele

Elisabeth Barrett Hi, Michele! I am very excited about the Return to Briarwood series. The books take place at the Briarwood Golf & Yacht Club, located in idyllic Eastbridge, Connecticut. Briarwood was once a great place to be a member, but unfortunately, the club has seen better days. The clubhouse could use an overhaul, the last official golf tournament was played nearly a decade ago, most of the club’s members are over sixty, and the place is hemorrhaging money. The series begins when three real estate investors buy Briarwood with the hopes of refurbishing it. Expect a colorful cast of characters which will include Eastbridgians, and Briarwood staff and members. The books will explore in depth the upstairs-downstairs nature of the member/staff relationships, as well as overarching issues of class, family life, and romance that permeate the characters’ lives. The first three books are slated to be released in 2015/2016, and there is always potential for more!
