Heidi Rice asked Elizabeth Hoyt:

Hi Elizabeth, I am a devotee of the Maiden Lane series and wanted to ask you a question about the Duke of Montgomery, but see you have already answered about him in extensive detail... So I'll just say I can't WAIT to read his book... (no pressure then!) and ask instead do you break off to write snippets from other books if they come to you, or do you manage to stick religiously to one book at a time?

Elizabeth Hoyt Hi Heidi!
So glad you're enjoying the Maiden Lane series! ;-) I have to confess that the minute I actually start writing a book, it loses nearly all the magic for me and becomes hard work. The next book (or books! or series!) is ALWAYS more interesting. I do note down ideas--because I have lost ideas in the past--but I don't start writing the next book until I finish the &*%$# one I'm on.

Vasilena asked Elizabeth Hoyt:

Ah, seems like all the questons I had are already on here! But thanks so much for taking the time to answer them. I absolutely love your Maiden Lane series because of how relatable and real the character emotions are and also the grittiness, I think it really reflects the time period well. If I had one question about them it would be how do you choose the chapter intros that match the stories? They are just perfect!

Bookmonster

Bookmonster asked Elizabeth Hoyt:

Hello Mrs Hoyt! Having just read the first excerpt from Duke of Sin, a lovely surprise for a cold and wet Friday morning, I am dying to read more! When can we have another excerpt?? ;) Also, how old is too old to fangirl over a fictional character? Hehe!

Cintia

Cintia asked Elizabeth Hoyt:

Hi, my name is Cintia and I'm from Argentina. Being a writer is what I want the most in this world, nothing makes me happier than writing, but I'm more and more frustrated with each passing day, because I've been blocked for 3 years. And it is not that I have an unfinished story. I have NOTHING AT ALL. A blank page in front of me, that only makes me sadder... Is there a way to overcome this? How do you handle it?
