You know, I’ve never thought about it before. I think � I like a mixture of both. Usually I write about people who don’t know each other falling in love, but sometimes I want to write about characters with a shared history. I really enjoyed writing My Lady Thief. It was fun to tip all Adam and Arabella’s prejudices upside down and watch them learn to see each other through new eyes.(less)

I'm starting a new Baleful Godmother series set in Regency England featuring a family of aristocratic cousins (the Garlands), plus there's another set of cousins who'll get their own series. The first books should be out in 2018.
I'm so glad you're enjoying the series. I can't believe you read them all in a week! (less)

25 books and 1.6 million words!

Violet and the Bow Street Runner is finally out in the world. This feels like a big milestone because it's my 25th published book and the first one post-cancer ... and then I added up all my words and realized that I've published more than 1.6 million words, and that rather boggled my mind.

Thank you to anyone who’s read and enjoyed any of those 1.6 million words. You guys are the reason I write!

Quotes by Emily Larkin  (?)
Quotes are added by the ŷ community and are not verified by ŷ.

“The speeches revealed his public face—articulate, championing an end to slavery—but the notes he’d written in the margins of the essay were more personal, more private. This was the man uncensored. Each jotted word, each underlined sentence, gave her a glimpse of who he was. His thoughts, his opinions, his values—all were laid out for her to see.”
Emily Larkin, Unmasking Miss Appleby
