Sam asked Lesley Downer:

Hi Lesley, I've been interested in your books for a while and I'd really like to order them, do they need to be read in any order? (The Samurai's Daughter, The Courtesan and the Samurai and Last Concubine in particular)

Lesley Downer Hi, thank you! In terms of the historical period, you should read The Last Concubine first, then The Courtesan and the Samurai and lastly The Samurai's Daughter. But they all stand alone, so you can read any of them without reading the others. Good luck and happy reading!

Hi Lesley, are there any plans to release your Shogun Quartet books in a boxset? I'm eager to purchase them, but a boxset would be fab! Thanks :)

Suz Suz asked Lesley Downer:

Just wanted to know...why did you change the title from "Across a Bridge of Dreams" to "The Samurai's Daughter" ? Tho i like the later title, sounded more related to the series ...by the way, i'm finishing soon on Book 2....i can visualize the war from your writings.
