Hi all,

The authors of The Lady Most Willing...: A Novel in Three Parts have graciously agreed to answer your questions in a very special appearance during the last week of January! Woohoo!

But first, we need to send them some questions. For the next two weeks I'll be collecting your questions for Eloisa, Julia and Connie. They can be related to the writing process, particular books, their books together, their books individually.

If you've got a question, now's the time to ask it! The caveat is that they can only choose so many to respond to, so don't be upset if they don't get to yours. (This might mean it would be best to ask more than one.)

Now, here's your chance! Ask away!

My question is for Eloisa and Julia: Where do you get the inspiration for the laugh out loud funny scenes in your books?

I want to know who came up with Taran and Marilla. I usually prefer my humor cerebral, but these two were a hoot. And the humor surrounding them was so visual that I could see the hilarious scenes quite vividly in my head. How did you do that?

This is fabulous, Manda! Thanks for including me.

I'd like to ask if Eloisa, Julia and Connie plan to continue their collaboration into another "Lady.." book in the future? And for Connie, when can we expect to see your current WIP?

How does your collaboration writing process work? What do you like about each others' writing style?

A follow up to Amanda's question -- do you meet beforehand to come up with a general plot line or do you just take inspiration from what the person before you has written? What if you're not in agreement with the turn in the story that one of you has come up with? Does anyone have veto power?

These are great, gang! Keep 'em coming!

Thanks, what a fun opportunity! I'm wondering whether the collaboration process was any different in your second LADY MOST book than in the first. And was it easier or more difficult to put the story together?

Hey guys,

Last chance to ask questions of these three fabulous authors! I'm going to send a compiled list of them to Connie, Julia and Eloisa at the end of the week. So speak now or forever hold your peace!

I think I have the upcoming novels and novellas from Eloisa and Julia on my book calendar, but perhaps everyone doesn't. What about Connie? I am dying to know if she has a title or a release date for Giles Strand's story. Giles has now passed Jo Beverley's Dare as the character whose story I've waited for longest (15 years, I think), never giving up hope that I'd read it some day.

I found a bookstore gift card with a remaining balance, and used it to buy "The Lady Most Willing." The three stories blended so well together. I did wonder why Julia and Eloisa got pages in the back promoting other books they've written, but Connie did not.

Three authors, 4 stories. How'd that work?

Did I miss the answers to the questions?

No, Amanda, I'm waiting to hear back from them:)
