THE WESTCOTT FAMILY SERIES
With six of the Westcott books now out, I have been asked numerous times if the series is complete. Several people have asked why there is no story for Harry. All the questions have led me to realize that nowhere on my web site is there any explanation of how many books there will be altogether in the series and whose stories, if any, are left. Well, I aim to set that straight right now. There is one story–a novella rather than a full-length novel–coming out in November of 2019. You can read about it, sample an excerpt, and preorder a copy (or ten) on Home Page. There are two more full-length books to come after that….and maybe two additional ones. Possibly three…
The original plan was to write an eight-part series. Six of those are published: SOMEONE TO…LOVE, HOLD, WED, CARE, TRUST, and HONO(U)R. According to the plan, the remaining two books are SOMEONE TO ROMANCE, Jessica’s story, already written and due out in November of 2020. Soon I’ll be starting to write SOMEONE TO CHERISH, Harry’s story, which will probably be out in 2021. However, last year I was going on a writing retreat with some writer friends but had nothing to write since I was not planning to start Jessica’s story until spring of this year. What a ghastly fate! I decided that I would start a novella for Matilda Westcott, whose story definitely needed to be told though she was not part of the original plan. I would get it published privately as an ebook, I thought. However, since it was a Westcott story, I decided I had better let my agent know. She thought we had better let my editor know! My editor wanted the novella, which she planned to publish as an ebook. After she had read it, however, she liked it so much that she decided to give it the full treatment and publish it in hardcover and paperback format as well as ebook. It is due out in November, 2019, as SOMEONE TO REMEMBER. Do be aware, however, that it is a novella, considerably shorter than the other books in the series. It has a lower price to reflect that fact, and an excerpt from each of the other six books at the back!
The series should be over after Harry’s story. However, inevitably some minor characters have grabbed my attention and are stepping up to have their stories told too. In particular, there are the twins, Estelle and Bertrand Lamarr, children of Marcel Lamarr, Marquess of Dorchester, Viola’s husband. And there is Winifred Cunningham, adopted daughter of Camille and Joel. I have no definite plans yet to write any of these three stories, but they are knocking on the door of my imagination. So stay tuned.
I do hope you will enjoy the upcoming novella for 56-year-old Matilda. I have an extra advance copy of SOMEONE TO REMEMBER that I will give away on Tuesday, September 24, to someone who leaves a comment below.
[Sept. 24th: The winner is JULIE SCHROEDET. Congratulations to her. I will send her signed book as soon as I have her postal address.]
I love your books and would really like to win!
So looking forward to reading another book in this series. Thank You Mary for your talent and fot always keeping us reading.
WOULD LOVE TO READ ESTELLE AND BERTRAND’S BOOKS.
Sounds like a fun read! 📖👍
I am highly anticipating Winifred’s and Bertrand’s stories having just finished Estelle’s for the second time. Please do not keep us waiting too long. Thank you.
Yes!!!! I want a story on Harry, Estelle twins, and mainly Winufred!!!!! I want a story that comes full circle for her. Thanks for your stories
I am dying to read Winifred and Bertrand’s story. I love all your books and read them over and over again as I feel each time I’m visiting good friends. Don’t keep us waiting too long.
I love all your books. The characters are memorable and many times I cry as I identify with their emotions. If I win pleaee choose your faves to send me . Thank you.
Thank you for writing Harry’s story. And Jessica. She was so sweet. I have always hoped that you would write the stories from one of the smaller characters. I would love to know Martin’s story (Vincent’s Best friend). Does he just end up all his life taking care of Vincent? And is his dad proud of him? And all those soldiers. But my best books will always be the Bedwyn and the survivors. It took me a long time to get every survivor book and Bedwyn book. I can’t wait for Harry’s story.
Well I am 60 years old and just graduated from hight school at 56 I picked up someone to hold did not know about the series but have read all the way up to some to romance I have never been interested in reading until now I will be read the rest of your books to thank you for you easy interesting way you write iam enjoy and hardle wait for the next
Wonderful news, so glad there are other Westcott stories to come. Thank you Mary for sharing your wonderful, creative mind and stories with us.
So looking forward to the next peek into the Westcot family. I’ll keep reading Mary Balogh as long as she continues writing.
Already pre-ordered and I’m really looking forward the rest of the series, especialy Harry’s storie! Thank you, love your books.
I love all of your books, but this series has quickly become my favorite. I’ve read them 2x each already and I will probably read them again soon. Would love to win an advance copy, fingers crossed.
Hello Mary,
I am having trouble figuring out how to comment in the Guest Book, so I am leaving this here. Is there anything that you have written that tells the story of Aunt Megan and how she came to be married to Reggie Heyden? I just finished Someone to Wed and I kept feeling that there must be somewhere where I could read more about them and their love story.
No, their story is told only in SOMEONE TO WED, Tia. I do agree, though, that there was potential for a whole love story there. So many stories to be written, so little time!
Excited to see there will be a story about a lady of a “certain age”! We have lives beyond our aging bodies !
I am so excited to read your books, yet so sad to have to wait for the rest of the series. I follow you on Facebook, as I am a devoted reader. Thank you so much for creating a place of escapism and relaxation for my mind.
I look forward to everything you write.
Oh how wonderful to know there are so many stories to look forward two! I would love to read about Estelle, Lamar and Camille too!
I have enjoyed reading Westcott series and am intrigued to read Mathilda’s story.
I started reading Westcott series after I received Someone to Love from you in September 2016. I love the way you have put in so much beauty and love in the lives of everyone in the series. I hope to receive this Someone to Remember as you are really someone I put so much faith in your novels that you are always giving more than your readers expected.
I can’t wait read Matilda’s story! Looking forward to Jessica’s and Harry’s. I do hope the twins get theirs.
As someone in Matilda’s age range, It’s nice to see there will be a love storey that reflects an older point of view. We don’t stop living and loving after 40.
A compelling story is one that gives people some points of view to consider long after they have read the story. Looking for to Matilda’s story. The Westcott series were extremely enjoyable. As are all your other stories as well. Thank you and looking forward to the rest.
I love your families – the Bedwyns, the Huxtables, and now the Westcotts. Not to mention the Survivor’s Club: a family made, if not born.
Looking forward to everything that’s coming out!
I love the older protagonists, too.
I am so happy to hear there will be more books telling the Westcott’s stories. Thank you so much for all the hours of reading enjoyment.
Thank you for this post, I pre-order all your books so it’s handy to have an idea of what to look out for and when.
will always welcome more stories from you!
The little snippet about Matilda’s past kn Someone to Honor has ne intrigued.
I love your books and it’s great to hear the timeline for the rest of the stories
So glad to hear about the other Westcott books in the pipeline! Really looking forward to Harry’s story, and Winifred!
59-year-old me can’t wait to read 56-year-old Matilda’s story. So glad to hear you have several more ideas for this series. It’s developing so nicely!
I have really liked this series with the older heroines so looking forward to this one
I’m glad to hear about the upcoming books. I love that that you give older heroines a chance to shine and am waiting very impatiently for Matilda’s story.
I’ve been looking forward to Matilda’s story.
So excited for Harry’s story! Then, there’s Jessica (too bad they’re cousins 😊) and I would love to see what happens to Marcel’s twins.
I’m re-reading some of your older books now, like “One night for love”. This world is a harsh place these days and I want and need an intelligent book with heart. Thanks for providing that for me, a long-time fan of yours. I urge those have just started with the Wescott series to go back 20 years or so and enjoy all of Mary’s books. Your local library should have many of them.
I’m really enjoying the Westcott series so far! I like that it features heroes and heroines of different social classes, not necessarily members of the ton. I’m looking for to reading Matilda’s story — a romance novel focusing on a more mature couple is quite rare indeed!
So excited that you wrote Matilda’s story! I can’t wait to read it!
Thank you for letting us know what is in the pipeline, and what may yet come to be!
I would love to read a story about Winifred! She has a story there waiting.
Waiting for all the books to come out to read them one after the other. The 24th is my youngest sons birthday they will be 31. Maybe they will bring me good luck.🙂
I always get hooked on Mary’s series! I am currently rereading the Survivors series ( since I am up-to-date on the Westcotts). I noticed that Matilda was “old friends” with Ben’s radish father, and hoped there was a story between them. I am anxiously awaiting the Matilda novella to find out…
I love the series! It has triggered a Mary Balogh binge! I have been rereading some of the Westcott series as well as others. I just finished rereading (for the 2nd time) Seducing an Angel. The first time I read it, I had a hard time liking Cassandra. After all Stephen was still a boy to me. It’s funny how you can get so invested in characters in a book. It’s amazing to me how you can immediately transport me to Regency England as soon as I start reading. I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.
I love this series so keep them coming (as long as you keep getting those ideas …).
Love all your books…
I’m so excited to see Matilda’s story coming soon! I always enjoy your books and the main characters do grab me, but I always imagine the life of that one overlooked lady, the spinster in the corner. They are always the ones who have chosen spinsterhood as a duty to a parent or other family member or had spinsterhood thrust upon them through no fault of their own. I thought I would always be one of the second category, but am happy to say that I found my very own Prince Charming who loves me unreservedly. True love stories do come true!
Oh please write the twins’ and Winifred’s stories. It seems I like each new book in a series more than the previous books! I guess I feel that I already know them and want to know what happens to them. And I get to read about the characters in the previous books to see how they are doing, too! Thank you!
I can’t wait! Just now reading Someone to Honor and loving it. So glad there is another so soon! Yes!
A love story for a 56 year old? Yes please? I love all the Wescotts, but this will be a lovely addition to the series and my bookshelves.❤️
Wonderful stories. Love seeing the family continue through each new book. I’m very excited for Matilda’s story.
I love your books, and so does my mom.
Love the books, Mary.
Mary, I love this series! Hope you do write a book for Estelle, Bertrand AND Winifred too!
I’m glad that Matilda is getting her own HEA. Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy.
I love your books. Well written ……. and your puns on FB. Keep up the excellent work and puns.👍👍👍
I love the entire series, as I have loved all your books. Looking forward to Matilda’s story; very glad it will be published in paper back. Jessica and Harry have to have their stories as well. I’m glad it’s in the plan. Also the story of the three children of the other characters would be a great addition to the series.
So excited to see this story! Really enjoyed the series so far and how the characters have grown.
I love reading all your books and can’t wait to see what other Westcott characters get their own books
So exciting! You are on my must read list and I can’t wait for the next book in the series.
I enjoy every book you write. Thanks for writing more about the Westcotts!
I especially love stories about “seasoned” women, and wish there were more!
Thank you for the update on the future books and for giving Someone to Remember the full distribution!
I sometimes have to go back and reread a book to remember the family.
I love this series and can’t wait to read them all!
OK, if you would not get bored, I think any books you want to write about all the people connected to the Westcott family is fine with me. The characters you have introduced me to are so very interesting. It almost appears as if everyone who is part of the immediate family or just a distant cousin or such are kind and thoughtful people. They are the kind of people I would like to spend time with and get to know.
Maybe you have created a monster, but as much as I have loved your other series, for some reason this cast of characters seem to have really gone to my heart. They have overcome difficulties, found strength they never knew they had and discovered who they truly are.
In short, write as many books in this series as you want. If I asked for as many books as I wanted, you would be there typing away for years and years.
Love your books. Would love the new book in Westcott series. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
Can’t wait to read Matilda’s story. I have always liked a second chance romance. Persuasion is my favorite read again book. I expect to like this one just as much!
I LOVE the series, just as I love other Balogh books. I am at a loss, when I finish each one, feeling the need for the next.
I am really enjoying this series 🙂
Your stories are always great!
Always love knowing what’s still to come in a series. I would love to hear the other stories if they come to life.
I’m really hoping we get at least a novella about Winifred!! It’s going to be so hard to wait for Jessica and Harry’s stories – but really looking forward to Matilda’s novella. Thank you for the updates.
Omg! I hope the twins and Winifred are definitely full novels. I can picture their stories. I hope at least one is in 2020. Or the twins could be one book finding love at the same time 😍😍
I really love all your characters and how you tell their stories!!! Thank you!!
Thank you for this update. I do like your books and I am entranced with the Westcott Family and their stories. I was hooked from the beginning and each book has not disappointed. Your books give me an insight into the era they are set and I do like the family interaction. Sadly at my age the waiting for the next one seems eternal!! Thank you for the pleasure your books give.
I discovered the Westcott series last summer, so I haven’t read all of them yet. That doesn’t stop me from wanting to read the newest one as soon as possible.
I am just loving the Westcotts! I am so looking forward to Matilda and Harry’s story! What a fun and crazy family. Of course Avery will always be my favorite character! He is just so snooty! Mary Balogh you are truly my favorite writer! ❤️😊
I always seem to end up emotionally invested in the story when I read one of your books. I don’t know how you keep coming up with new adventures for your characters, but they’re always WONDERFUL!
I am looking forward to reading more of the Westcott stories. How wonderful that there are some “extras” too.
Oh, how exciting! This has made me want to start reading from the beginning of the series again!
Definitely would love a Winnifred Cunningham book!
I would love to read stories about the twins! They did seem to stand out a bit to me. They seem real sweet too. I have Matilda’s story preordered but I would love to win a free one instead! haha
I love that your characters talk you into writing their stories!
This is such a wonderful series.
I am thrilled that you have written a story for Matilda…can’t wait to add it to my collection!
Thanks for the information on the series plan! I like older heroines and will be glad to read Matilda’s story.
I look forward to Matilda being more than a person with smelling salts😏 Love all your books, just located the Web Series and enjoying new characters even if I retread the others often. Keep up the good work! (Also love the puns…)
I would love to win a copy of this book! I have all the others in the series and this would be the icing on the cake for me.
Love reading your books. Would love to win this books in the series.
I have visited my amazon account and pre-ordered Matilda’s story, I can’t wait to know what led her to lead the life of fussy devoted daughter to a mother who doesn’t really need to fussed over 🙂
Just read Someone to Honor and can’t wait for the next one!
Wow, I love hearing about the thought process behind the series. 💗
Mary,
I have read every one of your books several times and I can’t wait for your next book to be released. Judy
Just love the Westcott series and can’t wait for Jessica and Harry’s stories and now Matilda’s. Thanks for letting us know what is upcoming. I have a pre-order of Matilda’s story on Amazon but if I’m lucky enough to win the advance copy, I have several friends I can give my Amazon copy. lol
I so enjoy reading your books! After a time, I love to go back and re-read them. It’s like visiting old friends. Excited to read this one!
I thoroughly enjoy reading your books. So looking forward to reading Matilda’s story.
Thank you for the update on the Westcott family series. I am currently reading “Someone to Honour”.
Thanks for the chance. can’t wait to read them all.
I was going to wait until the series was complete before I started this series, but I’m not sure I can wait!!!
How are Viola and her mother (Kingsleys) related to Jeanne’s mom and grandparents in Beyond the Sunrise (Kingsleys)?
They aren’t related, Tay.
Since I discovered you as an author, I haven’t missed a book. And I went back through the library to catch up with everything you had written to that point. I love your characters, your writing, and look forward with great anticipation to each new book. As a 64-year-old, I look forward to this novella with interest!
It is funny how some side characters can grab your attention. I read SIMPLY PERFECT years ago, but I keep hoping little Lizzie Pickford will show up (all grown up, of course) as a love interest for one of your heroes. So many of your books are comfort reads for me. Looking forward to Matilda’s story.
That’s great Mary! I absolutely LOVE your books. I think I’ve read and/or own almost every one. I can’t wait to see what else you have waiting in the writer’s quill queue!
While I love stories featuring young characters like Jessica and Abigail, I love that you include stories with “older” characters like Matilda, Marcel, and Viola.
Love this series and can’t wait for Matilda’s story. Thanks so much for explaining what you have planned for the series, too!! I like the anticipation associated with knowing the plan.
I can’t wait to read Matilda’s story!
Always love your books. You never disappoint and they are all keepers on my shelves.
I am so excited for this update! Looking forward to all of the Westcott’s stories
Love this series! And looking forward to Matilda’s story, and Jessica’s and Harry’s as well!
E citing news. Eagerly awaiting the next i the series.
So happy that we’ll get Jessica and Harry’s stories, and really hope you do get to writing Winifred’s too
I’m very much looking forward to the stories you’ve already planned, and would love to read Winnifred’s story!!!
I am so excited to read Matilda’s story this fall. I’ve always wondered what made her how she is and have seen glimpses of her hunger for a normal relationship of her own. Kudos for taking on a romance with an older heroine. I’m eager to see how this unfolds.
I’ll always have a soft spot for “Someone to Wed”, but any addition to the Westcott series is more than welcome! Now it’s time for Matilda to leave the shadows and shine in her own book, and I’m curious to see why her love story came to an abrupt end when she was younger. Speaking of young people, reading about the “next generation” would be such a gift! I do hope these characters continue to knock until you open that door and let them write their own stories. Thank you.
Long time fan, 😘 Generous giveaway!
Have always loved to read Mary’s books, but have to get them whenever one is available from the library. Would love to read this series. Thank you for the chance!😊
I’m so excited for Matilda’s story… even from the preview and what we saw of her in Someone to Hounour, she is definitely a character deserving of her own happily ever after!
My mother has been a long time fan of your books and got me hooked on them too! I have not yet begun the The Westcott Family series, but my mother has been getting the books as they are published and would LOVE to get her hands on an advance copy of Someone to Remember! <3
It would be a great capper to my Birthday Week. I have enjoyed watching the exploits of the Westcotts from the beginning.
Have enjoyed your books for many years. Keep them coming!!
I am loving the Westacott series. I think my favourite so far has been Someone to Wed. And I’m really looking forward to reading about the rest of the Westacott family.
I had to laugh after first reading the blog on “emotional bond between character and reader” and then the blog on the series, with the evolution of “Someone to Remember”. It appears both author and editor have been caught in the oh so finely spun Mary Balogh web of emotional bond with characters. Both seemed to find yourselves wanting to spend more time with the characters! Please live long, stay healthy, and may you continue to share their stories indefinitely.
I love all your books and I’m looking forward to the next installment in the series. All the best!
Love your series. Love the way you develop your characters.
I have all your books they have their own shelf. I can’t wait to read the new books you have coming out. I hope you do continue with the twins story and Winifred and we can’t forget Harry.
I also would love to win a few copy.
I can’t wait to read what you have come up with as a live story fur a 56-yr old heroine!…an advanced copy would shorten that wait a tad! It’s what I most live about your hooks, — the fact that the heroines/heroes are not always these perfect 20+ year-olds and the message that one is never too old or too imperfect for true love!!
I love the Westcott series. I look forward to each new book. In the early books, Mathilda just seemed annoying, but then I began to realize how lonely she is in this large family. I’m truly looking forward to her story.
I have read many of your books, but now I see there are even more from the 90s. I know you are republishing these as ebooks, but are you also going to publish them as paperbacks? Some of us like to have a hard copy.
Thanks for the wonderful stories.
Publishing them privately as ebooks is the only way at the moment to make them available again to readers, Gloria. I’m sorry for the inconvenience to those who would prefer a paper book.
I love all of your book and I would love to win one. Thank you!
Love all your books Mary, they are a true delight to read!
Wonderful. But waiting until 2021 it is going to be hard.
How refreshing to have a heroine in her fifties, and even better that it’s Matilda. She deserves happiness, and a life of more than we’ve seen in the previous books.
I love the Westcott series. I’m looking forward to reading about Matilda.
I love this series & that you are writing a book (even a short one) for Matilda. I love the idea of books for the twins as well.
Mature ladies need love too! Can’t wait to read this one.
This is nothing but good news for all of your readers, of which I am an enthusiastic one.
I turned my sister onto this series, now I buy and she reads. It would be nice to not have to buy one.
Thank you so much Mary, for the chance to win one of your stories! Your stories never disappoint me!
I am so glad that you will write Harry’s story. He is my favorite character. Could you shorten the publication timeline so I don’t expire from anticipation?
As I have mentioned elsewhere I am really looking forward to reading Someone to Remember given that the protagonists are more mature than is the norm in HR. Also I am looking forward to Jessica and Harry’s stories and hopefully those of Bertrand, Estelle and Winnifred. I have really invested in this series because the characters are so human with all the frailties that that entails. This has been the same with many of your other series which is no doubt why you have such a faithful following of readers.
I have been working my way through your back catalogue as it has been published in e book format and hope that several more will be published over the coming months.
Keep on writing such wonderful fiction.
I’m so glad we have more Westcott stories to look forward to!!!! I love all of your books!!!!
Always anxiously waiting for your next book! I hope I win this once!
I have been searching for one of your books that I have not read and I have come to the conclusion I have read them all. I can’t wait to read this one!
A list on a post it of all the books I am eagerly awaiting this fall – November 5th!!
I am excited for Matilda’s book. I love her character and I would like a happy ending for her, with or without a gentleman by her side. I just wanna happiness for her!!!
I’m glad you will write/publish Harry’s and Jessica’s story – they are obviouusly among those severely affected by the original Westcott scandal. I look forward to the Lamarr youths’ stories as well, and Winifred’s too. I have been looking forward to Mathilda’s story ever since we got a peek at it in the previous book. Thanks for the chance!
I am so looking forward to reading these! I fell in love with the Westcott series and am completely hooked! Excited for what’s to come 🙂
I have to admit I’m rather waiting for the whole series to be complete before I start reading – after I had to wait patiently for all the Bedwyns I decided to wait and read whole series in (almost) one go.
On the other hand I love to hear about your creative process 🙂
I have enjoyed the series very much and look forward to continuing my acquaintance with the family. As I am in my 60’s it is nice to hear you are never to old for love!
I really enjoy your books. Just finished reading Someone To Honor and am looking forward to Someone to Remember.
I love your books and I’m very excited about Matilda’s book.
Do you think you can give us some type of hint as to what Jessica and Harry’s stories will be about???? Please?
I’ve always loved your books and I’m quite disappointed by the fact that the books written by you which have been translated in Italian are not, in my opinion, your best books. Furthermore, I don’t like the Italian translation very much, I prefer to read your books as you write them! I love your writing style, I could say that it reminds me of my own writing style. Maybe I’ve been a little influenced by the books of yours I read! And yes, I write, too. I would like to be a novelist. I love to write stories settled in the past, most of all in England, and most of all in the XIX century, as you do. I love to write about feelings and love, as you do. Not only about love, but certainly it has an important role in my stories. I’ve thought about writing you so many times, and now I’m doing it! Thanks for your stories, which made me keep believing in love even when I didn’t want to believe in it anymore. I was wrong. Thanks for your stories, because they are positive. Yes, they are positive! Is this something childlike? Something silly? No, absolutely no! But many people Leigh at happy endings, and prefer to read Bloom and sad stories, because they think that happiness is something too dreamy to be part of real life. Well, I think they like gloomy stories because their souls are gloomy. And I’m so glad to see that you had success (and keeps having it) with stories that are positive, full of good sentiments and of values, stories that vive hapliness a chance and that make the reader learn that, even if we suffered, there’s always a light hidden somewhere, it’s our task to search for it and find it! I remember a sentence you write in my favourite book of yours, Simply perfect: “If we were to see the grandeur of ourselves, we would have to live up to who we really are, and most of us are too lazy for that”. (It was not exactly written like this, but this was the sense of the sentence). I believe it, too.
Anyway, other books of yours I’ve loved so much are Someone to trust, One night for love, your Christmas novellas (they are so touching!) and The arrangement.
I hope to meet you one day, maybe as an encounter between two writers that believe in love and happiness.
Chiara
I ENJOYED SOMEONE TO REMEMBER BOOK, LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT CHAPTER IN THE WESTCOTT LIVES. I AM HOPING NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE OUT SOON.
I have been buying, reading and enjoying your books for very many years. In Britain the Slightly series had patterns on the covers, the Simply series had bodies but no heads, even paintings from the Regency period, so it was easy to use your own imagination as to the heroine. From the Survivors series onwards, we are having faces of very young women. Unfortunately, they don’t fit the heroines. For example the beautiful novella of Matilda, which is absolutely wonderful, had a young woman on the front! I am afraid I remove the covers straight away! Is it possible to go back to something else rather than faces? Not a criticism, just a thought. Waiting for the next ones! Thank you so much for so many years of enjoyment, to be read over and over again.
I have been right through this list and couldn’t find a mention of the bridgertons. I would love to have a copy of their family tree to follow their story from beginning to end. Thanks for your help Mabel Wybenga.
You may want to try Julia Quinn’s web site, Mabel Wybenga.
Anyone who is looking forward to reading Matilda’s story, should reread Abby and Gil’ story Someone to Honor. I kept it and read it again after I got Someone to Remember. They are both keepers, and I will probably read them again some day.
I read the novella and I can understand, why your editor wanted it as a paperbook – beacause it is actually one of the best in the series, though I love the other stories too.
Loved it!
I loved Matilda’s story, and am thrilled to hear you are considering telling Winifred’s. That little girl, so uncertain of herself and trying so hard to win affection by being perfect and helpful, has haunted me. We have occasionally seen glimpses of her in the other Wesrcott novels, but she now has so many siblings that I’ve wondered whether she has grown into the role of adored big sister or just felt displaced.
Marcel’s Twins, and the three brothers ho have missed out on most of the family shenanigans… I am sure most of us would happily read stories for each and all.we love the universe that you’ve created!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I loved read Someone to Remember. But I missed an epilogue with wedding night and mainly a little about Charles’ and Gil’s relationship.
I love yours books. Thanks for them.
Beautifull…
yet, so is eternal Seventh-Heaven.
I really love your books! The wescott series is great especially the audiobooks coupled with Rosalyn Landor 🥰😍 I can’t wait for Harry and Jessica. I’m hoping for a little more Bedwyns as well, The Duke of Bewcastle is my favorite duke of all times.
I absolutely love the Wescott series (the Bedwyns and Survivors Club as well). I am so glad to hear that you are writing Jessica and Harry’s story. I was secretly hoping the two would be paired together (giggle). Please do write Winifred’s story. I just love her and want her to also have her happily ever after! Thanks for keeping me and all your fans entertained! Your are one of my favorite authors. I also have to give a shout out to Rosalyn Landor for bring the stories to life. Next steps the move series!!
Thoroughly enjoyed Someone to Remember, but far too short! Hopefully we will learn more about Matilda and Charles and their relationships with his 4 children in the coming Westcott books – or perhaps you could continue their story in a novella?
Exactly what is the age difference between Charles and Matilda?

I hope you write stories about Estelle and Bertrand Lamarr as well as Winifred Cunningham. My father’s sister was Winifred. If you do not write about them, I will always wonder what happened in their lives.
I started reading your work with A Masked Deception. I have purchased all. When I moved, I made certain all your books moved with me, something I cannot say about all the books I purchased over the years.
I am in love with the Westcott family and look forward to their ever-unfolding growth and adventures. Thank you for your work!
Someone to Love is so well written & so unexpected in the plot that I was intrigued from the beginning. The whole series is riveting & I also loved your Survivor Series. 5 stars isn’t enough. Thank you Mary! Kay from Australia. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I love the series. Keep them coming.
I am writing on behalf of my lovely 78yr old friend Vanice who is so addicted to your books that she is having withdrawal pangs that they are not coming soon enough!!
Would love for her to win. We are in Brisbane Australia and each time I go and check her emails for her (she is computer illiterate), we have to check what book she hasn’t read yet and order it. Not too many of them around!! She is impatiently waiting for Harry’s story and thinks you are taking too long!
Thank you for Jessica’s story. And impatiently waiting for Harry’s.
Ariane on behalf of Vanice
I love them all, but Camille’s story, Someone to Hold was my favorite from early reads. But then I read Someone to Romance and it really grabbed my heart! I think they both appeal because the people are initially not that likable, but their stories help us to understand why, and help us realize that we all deserve to be loved! I think Winnifred’s story has thus same potential!
BTW, I am also a big fan of the Huxtable series! And am currently rereading the Survivor’s Club
I hope those three additional books are still knocking on your imaginations door. This has been one of my favorite series and would love for it to continue. Please bring them to life with a few more books!
