I just discovered your books with the Bedwyn series - but I have started to read your previous books. I must say that I have read NO MAN'S MISTRESS in 1 day and have to say that is probably my favorite book ever! The story was incredible and I am so glad that someone finally used a "real" ex-courtesan for a main character. At first when you discover that she is a supposed courtesan I was thinking he would bed her and find out she was a virgin not the other way around! That was great!!! I especially loved how human you made your characters feel - I was tearing up while reading many of the scenes. I am sure many poor girls were forced into a life like Viola in the 1800s it is nice to have a story even fictional have a happy ending for one of them.

Dear Mary, I'm a middle aged woman who wouldn't have been caught dead with a romance novels in my hands when, desperate for something to read, I picked up No Man's Mistress in an airport about a year ago. It was a revelation. I did not know a romance novel could be so well written, thought-provoking and engaging. Since then I've read about half your book list, including as many of your out-of-print works I can find. I've also discovered other romance writers, particularly regency authors. I especially enjoy the work of Julia Quinn, Laura Kinsale, Julia Ross and Christina Dodd but your novels are my favorite. Your writing has a controlled intensity and an originality of plot that I haven't found, consistently anyway, in the other authors I've read. Some of your books are better constructed and written than others, in my view, but they are always well worth reading. I'm in awe of your ability to write in such quantity and with such high quality. You're surely God's gift to the regency romance genre! Thank you for many hours of enchantment and enjoyment and please keep creating your moving, well crafted novels!

Hi, i am big fan of yours and the bedwyn series especially slightly scandalous which is my favorite so far.i know the bedwyn seriee will come to an end in june with wulfric story. i am hoping that u would put an epilogue in slightly dangerous. i am begging and asking you to please add an epilogue about the bedwyns altogether and how are they after so many years of married life like how many children they each have and etcetera, plese! it just so nice to know what have become of them after getting married especially the fiercely independent freyja bedwyn. Hope you consider my request. THANK YOU!

Of the more modern books I think 'More than a Mistress' is my favourite - I love the 'Duke of Tresham' his character is so endearing- he has brought me to tears.

Ms. Balogh, I have all of your books, and have re-read them several times. I have sometimes wished that your characters would speak with more emphasis, and would like to know if you have a particular reason to avoid emphatic punctuation, italics, and the like. The strongly emotional situations in which you place your characters has often brought me to tears, and I would like to thank you for the powerful stories you present. I hope you plan to continue writing for many years to come! Best regards, Diane

I have been carrying around a note for several years of two books by you that I couldn't find, otherwise I think I have all of them. When I looked at your list of titles written I didn't find these two titles. They are "The Christmas Wish" and "The Christmas Journey". I've carried the note around for so long I don't even know where I came up with these titles. Could you let me know please if these are real titles of yours. If you didn't write them, no wonder I can't find them! Thank you so much and keep up the great writing.

Now I just buy one for myself and one for her. When I get hassled about my novels, I just tell the hecklers the books are less costly than their prozac.Keep writing. Many of us appreciate the books.

Thank God you're so prolific; for, just as I eagerly searched for Georgette Heyer's books more than thirty years ago, so do I search for yours...on the internet, at garage sales, at used book stores. I've paid outrageous prices for some of your early out-of-print Regencies, but they were well worth it. I'm happy to see that your publisher will be bringing out more of your wonderful stories this coming year. Thank you again, and may you continue to enjoy good health and good writing. DG

I guess one of the disadvantages of having a message board is that you get email from crazy people. I hope you do not take "bigchick"s message (Dec.4) to heart. She must have read a different "Slightly Scandalous" because her description bore no resemblance to the book I read. I think that reader must have serious self- image and authority issues. Freyja may have been arrogant and unfeeling in previous Bedwyn stories but she grows into a beautiful, intelligent sensitive woman...and it is a story that's wonderful in its unfolding. You should be proud of this exceptional book.

Dear Mary Balog, Once again you have taken me on a wonderful trip to another place and time and I have been allowed to travel in the comfort of my own home. I am enjoying the Bedwyn's and that fact that, underneath it all, they are humans who need and want love too. I read some of the messages you have received and I too have been collecting your older books. I was very excited to hear they have dollar value. I think I will just save them to read over and over now, as I do anyhow, and leave them in my will to my young grandsons. They can discover how much someone will pay for them many years from now. I will have enjoyed them myself and the boys will be rich because your books are worth millions of dollars for the pleasure they provide. Many thanks. Lillian

Hi. I'll get straight to the point. I am a big fan of romance novels. Believe me, I read a million if them. And most I have liked some I have not. And i don't want to be rude, but I didn't care for your book Slightly Scandalous. I know your thinking "I dosen't matter what you think. I have money and I'm well known." I don't put people down and i do like the way you have the book set up. But I just hate Freyja Bedwyn. Women who deny their fate makes me angry. And I know thats how you intended it to be. But I'm just speaking my mind.I wanted to jump in the book and kill her. She was too snotty, thinking she was above everyone because her brother was a duke. People who act like that aren't above anyone. They're barely above dirt. I just wanted to say the book was not to my likeing it sucked big time.

Hey, I've finally found a copy of "A Summer to Remember". I've at it for almost 24 hours. I think it's really good especially chapter one wherein Kit and Lauren first met. Imagined, they've met in a park while Kit is engaged in a brawl! Totally inappropriate for a member of the aristocracy. Well anyway, I really love it and I'm looking forward to another book by Mary Balogh if I can find one. It's really hard to look for books written by Mary Balogh here in the Philippines. I hope that the company who publishes the books of Mrs. Balogh will send more copies of books here in the Philippines.

On Thanksgiving day, I found myself in discussion with a stranger turned friend in a local Walmart book aisle. Our point of connection -- Romance novels. She recommended a book by her favorite author. I, of course, asked if she had read your books. She hadn't. However after a quick overview of the Bedwyn series to date, she purchased "A Summer to Remember." (The Slightly series were sold out or I believe she would have left with 4 books not just one :-) Once she reads this book, I know you will have a new fan! As you will have with my sister-in-law. One of her Christmas gifts is the Bedwyn series (to date) and A Summer to Remember. Her birthday gift next year will be the remaining three books. I am a devoted fan of your writing. Your characters have an emotional depth that draws me into their lives. I care what happens to them. During the past year, I have collected and read (and re-read) all of your books. I am missing a few of the short stories. Is there any possibility of posting a list of the titles and the anthologies they were published in? Thank you, Leigh McKenzie Cantonment, FL

If it were possible to get a copy of something not yet released I'm sure my friend would be blown away, but I know this is extremely unlikely. I suppose the key element here is "before Christmas". I thought about contacting Sian, but I know she has little time for anything other than school. If you can help in any way I would greatly appreciate it. Thank You, Happy Holidays, and please give my best to yout truly amazing daughter. Sincerely, Jay S.

Hello Mary. So, when will the next book in the Bedwyns series be available? I have truly enjoyed the whole series. My favorite would have to be A Summer to Remember. I can hardly wait for the next 3 books. Thank you so much for the enjoyment your books have brought me. Take care and have a safe holiday.

HI Mary: I love the Bedwyn family and am dying for the next 3 books, especially Slightly Dangerous Wulfric's story. May I ask you if Wulfric's mistress has a major role to play in his story? Is she good or bad? I have read many of your books, but I think my favorites concern christmas, whether a complete story like the Christmas Promise or short stories such as the ones in Under the Mistletoe. You are a wonderful storyteller with great heart and I truly enjoy your work!! Thank you and have a wonderful holiday season. D

Dear Mary, I think I have read every book and story of yours that has been published. If I haven't, it hasn't been for lack of effort. I love your stories. I love your characters. Every one is a "keeper." I read several of them over and over again. The Bedwyns are great, but you spoiled us by coming out with the first 3 so close together. How can we wait for the next 3? I see below that some people don't like that Wulf's story will be in hardback. I don't mind, and I disagree with them. I think the price of paperbacks has gotten out of hand, and I'd rather buy a hardback because it will last. Plus, you can usually get a new hardback for at least 40% off at BJs, COSTCO, and other wholesale discounters. Having a good book that will last is worth the slight difference in price. Thanks--keep writing and I'll keep buying and reading and re-reading.

Your books caught me and now I read anything you have writen. I cannot wait for the three final Slightly books debut, but I will be sorely disappointed after I read the last one, knowing that there's no more to come. How bittersweet. Although, the new series about the governesses will be just as entertaining, I'm sure. Thank you again for the chance to take a break to another time and place.

As an avid reader and future editor of romances, I truly feel blessed to have at long last broken down and read a Mary Balogh book. I read "Slightly Wicked" first, and am now finishing "Slightly Scandalous". I just bought "Slightly Married" and can't wait to begin it. I will eventually have to read "A Summer to Remember" even though Kit is not my favorite character at this point due to my current attachment to Freyja. I must say that Mary Balogh is a genious to leave Wulf's story for last... I anticipate it as the best of the series and I am totally enthralled by Wulf's character. I can't wait! Thanks for making my moments with a book and a cup of tea so much more enjoyable, Mary!

So I picked up a book that happened to be Slightly Married. I started reading it and I couldn't put it down. I loved it! I just got finished with it last night, well because school got in the way of my reading.:( Anyways I rushed onto the internet to see if and when all the other Bedwyn books came out, I was especially anxious to read Wulf's story. When I saw that it wouldn't be released until June I was sad, but that way it will be out just in time for my birthday, so what a great birthday present!! I just wanted to say how great of a writer you are, and tonight I'm going back to Wal Mart to get the other Bedwyn books!! Thank you so much for writing such interesting novels!:) Kate

Dear Mary - I was fortunate enough to discover your books (The first one I ever read was "More than a Mistress") about a month ago. I was unfortunate enough to have been on exam leave at the time... I actually went out and got the first 3 books in the Bedwyn series, and found that the temptation to read them instead of studying was so strong that I had to get my sister to hide the books from me until after I finished my exams! I would really like to obtain copies of most (or all) or your backlist. Unfortunately this seems to be very difficult, and I am extremely worried that being in New Zealand puts me at a disadvantage in finding and purchasing, copies of your books. PLEASE reassure me that the remaining 3 books in the Bedwyn series will be distributed in New Zealand. Thank you so much for creating such wonderful books.

Dear Mary I wish to second Jennifer Spiller's paean to your wonderful writing and to also thank you for helping me through a year of serious depression. I had reached the state where my self-pity was seriously skewing my determination to remain in this dark, unlovely world when I realised that by topping myself I would be depriving myself of the joy of reading your new series. Yep, life is hard, but then you get to read a new Mary Balogh! So thank you Mary, for being better than the Samaritans. For making me laugh, and cry, and enjoy life again. I hope to be reading your wonderful books for many more years to come. Yes, even in hardback - fans notwithstanding, authors have to eat too! I have No Man's Mistress and A Summer To Remember in hardback and will definitely be buying Wulfric's story in HB too. I have most of your backlist (I had to have something to do while waiting for the Simply series) and think it would be a fine thing if they were reissued so those present readers could also have a chance to sample your extensive oeuvre. and yes, please, more translations to Italian, it would definitely help me in my fledgling studies! some questions - all your characters are so very different. Did being a teacher and coming in contact with such a variety of people influence you in character development? And as Ms Tamblyn asked, do you prefer Canada to Wales? I like Wales, but then I've never been to Canada. Would you consider writing some more stories set in Georgian times? I really loved Heartless and Lucas's sense of style! I'm so glad your have fans who are men too. In my opinion your writing is just as good as Jane Austen's, and I don't see why a romance written 2 centuries ago is considered suitable for male consumption, whereas one written in the last few decades is deemed fit only for females. Are women supposed to have less astute brains? or men are not interested in relationships at all? I think not. I read sci-fi, war, crime and thrillers too, so think it's a shame men on the whole aren't disposed to try out a good romance and be pleasantly surprised. Thank you for everything again, sincerely rowie

I am in the process of reading every one of your books I can locate. They are wonderful. Will you write about Gwendolyn, Lady Muir in the future? She and Kit's brother Syd deserve a good ending. I look forward to your three books coming out in 2004. Thank you for the many hours of enjoyable reading I find in your books.

I AGREE. WHEN YOU HAVE A GREAT SERIES GOING AND YOU DO THE LAST ONE IN HARD COVER. I WON'T BUY IT. I THINK THIS IS SO UNFAIR TO YOUR READERS. I ALWAYS HAVE A PAPERBACK IN MY PURSE. BUT HARDCOVER. NO WAY. YOU MIGHT MAKE MORE MONEY IN HARD, BUT YOUR LIFE IS PAPERBACK. STOPPED BUYING A LOT OF WRITERS BECAUSE OF IT.

Hello Ms Balogh, I recently have become a fan of your writing. 'Pride and Prejudice' has been my fav book though I love all JA's works but after having given up looking for a proper sequel to P&P I discovered 'Not Just A Mistress.' I found intelligence, wit, flesh and blood characterization, and imaginative plotting. Then I went on to 'No Man's Mistress' and your Bedwyn series. I am particularly looking forward to the woman who weds Wulfric. It seems he waits until all his responsibilities are married off. It's delicious waiting. I'll almost be sorry to read it. Almost. Are there any plans to reprint your out of print, earlier novels? There should be they are hard to find and highly priced on ebay when they do appear. Thank you, GCG

I really enjoy your writing. Your heros and heroines are not all beautiful and handsome. They are ordinary people and some not quite "perfect". You make me feel like I am inside the characters, feeling their emotions. Not too many other authors I have read are able to do this. I am busy trying to find and read your earlier books. Sometimes the earilier ones seem too shot. You hate to see them end. I'm looking forward to your new books in 2004. Thanks Becky

I would like you to know how much I am enjoying your wonderful Bedwyn series. The last three books cannot get into print fast enough for me. I am so happy you are doing a story on Wulfric...he seems to deserve a happy ending. Thank you for providing so many hours of pure enjoyment and transport from life's daily cares. All the best, Sharon Felman

Hello: You have inspired me to write more. I am an amateur author, mostly of poetry, but I have a true inspiring story about Sister and am trying to get it published by a magazine or such. I envey you and your talent. we have a little in common :- My mother's name was Mildred too and she was born in Saskatchewan. I also had one sister very close in age to myself. The title of my story is "Sister's are a Gift from God", I wondered if you could give me a direction to turn to for publishing? It has been through the "Chicken Soup for the Sister's Soul" a few years back and even though it was chosen within the top 100 stories did not get published. Thanks and keep writing!!
