Hi Sharon!

I read your "interview" with the Darcys! How wonderful! I enjoyed it immensely! I even lucked out and was able to post a comment on the Casablanca sight. I tried that in the past but wasn’t very successful. This time I guess I did it right because it worked.

I love your concept of the interview. I was smiling throughout the entire article. What an enjoyable read.

You continually amaze us with your ingenuity! What fun!

Happy Launch Fete!

Take care and God Bless.

Esther

Diane, you make me laugh! I hope you didn’t get the food mixed up for your animals. Ha! Happy reading, and be sure to check back in and let me know how you like it.

Thank you SO much Shannon. I do hope you enjoy it as much as you did the others. The support from fans, and in your case readers who also review so potential readers can make informed decisions, is invaluable. I just can’t convey how deeply I appreciate people like yourself who give of your time to spread the word about good books. Bless you! And happy reading. 🙂

Shannon

Your new year has gotten off with a bang! Congrats!
I’ve ordered my copy from Amazon and cannot wait for it to get here!

Diane Gibson

Hi Sharon!
I just got my copy in the mail about 15 minutes ago. I read the prologue while feeding the cats and dogs! I can’t wait to get settled in my reading chair and get started! I’m so excited!! 🙂

Well it makes perfect sense… from that prospective.

Sharon Lathan

Hi Jaclynn, You know, I really have no idea what the actual reasoning and logic was behind changing the title. I think, based on a few comments, that one reason was to have the continuity of "Mr. Darcy" in each title. They are continuing that with the 4th book, "Romancing Mr. Darcy." Secondly, I do not think they like the word "end" in the title as that may be construed as it being the end of the series. Both are fine points.

Hey Kathy my friend! It is never too late to hear from you!!! Thank you so much for stopping by. Indeed I do need to go to Topix! Silly me! I get so muddled with so many different places to be that some things fall through the cracks. *bad Sharon!* I have seen P&P air so many times on Oxygen that the news is not a surprise. I just watched it again 2 nights ago! Still adore that movie. Thanks for the Congrats. I am heading to the Matthew Macfadyen Topix right now – the BEST PLACE ON THE ENTIRE WEB FOR MATTHEW MACFADYEN NEWS AND FELLOWSHIP!

Hi Sharon!

A little late to the party but wanted to wish you all the best of everything in this, the third of your trimuphant launches! In my book, YOU are an inspiration!

Please come over to make a little comment bout it on Topix. We will always love Mr. Darcy and this movie. Did you see where The Oxygen Channel’s site has named P & P 2006 as one of "their favorites"! 😉

Much Congratulations, Sharon!!

Hugs,

Hey Sharon,

So excited about the new addition to the Saga. 🙂 Although, I liked the original name better. Why did they decided to change it?

Sharon Lathan

Ooh, Elizabeth! How wonderful! I have yet to see all of them on a shelf yet. If anyone is so fortunate, and happens to have a camera handy, snap a pic and send it to me, please! [email protected] I would be SO happy!

Bummer, Susanne, that it takes so long to get over your way. At least you will be able to get it, though. The interview was kinda tough. Many writers do fake interviews with their characters, and it is always fun and very tongue-in-cheek. I wanted to give it a go, but being silly with characters I take seriously was difficult. At first I tried to make it realistic, but of course that just can’t be as such a scenario would never happen in real Regency life! Then I came up with the play on it being an "Austen" doing the interview and it all came together. Fun!

Susanne

Dear Sharon!

I just read your Interview with the Darcys and I love it! What a wonderful idea! What made you think of an interview? Your ability to surprise us is boundless. It was so much fun to read it, I could see it all.

I got an email from amazon, I´ll get my book between January 16 and 21. That´s really bad, but there´s nothing that can be done.

Well, again, your interview is amazing!

Lots of love,
Susanne

Elizabeth

Congratulations Sharon! So excited for you. Saw the book at Barnes and Noble yesterday. All 3 books on the shelf together! Congratulations I know you are excited. Enjoy this and I look forward to reading this one.

Elizabeth

Sharon Lathan

Seli, I do hope whatever ails you is nothing too serious. Please take care of yourself! My book will be around for a while, so you have plenty of time. And, yes, I did imagine it would be exciting! In fact, I have been waiting for angels singing the Hallelujah chorus, although that hasn’t happened as yet! LOL! I didn’t imagine how much work it would be, but that is OK too, and kinda fun. 🙂

Hi Betty Jo. You know, true Austen fans are a breed apart. Of course, some of them are a scary breed of something, but we won’t talk about them! Others just love these characters and the world Jane created so are happy to have more. I am pleased that my vision/version gives you, and others, what they seek. It is all good in this world for an Austen lover. 🙂

I can’t wait to delve into the next installment of the alternate world known as the Darcy Saga. We all know it’s just fiction but your writing truly means a great deal to so many of us. Some people watch soaps faithfully. Some shop ’til they drop. I’m a Darcy & Lizzy fan. Simple as that. I read a lot of Austen Fanfic. Pulp and pixels. Your Darcys STILL keep me wantin’ more.
Thanks-

Seli

Unfortunately I have not been able to visit the store due to a back pain and this cold weather is not helping… I am dying to see the book up close! It looks beautiful and together they are beautiful. You must be so excited to see all your books together like that… Sharon did you imagine it would be so wonderful and exciting!! Congrats, have fun and enjoy!!

Sharon Lathan

Vee, you are too kind. It has been an amazing adventure from the very beginning. Accolades and book sales are fantastic, absolutely, but I am mostly thankful for the great friends I have made along the way. You, Simone, Jen, Julie, Seli, Jeane, Kathy, Ninja E., Kerry, May, Esther Anne, and I am going to get in trouble for not mentioning other dear friends but my brain hasn’t had enough caffeine yet! Each one of you are so special to me and really make this experience worth it. Geez, so sentimental in the early morning!

Sharon Lathan

Thank you so much, Martina. I appreciate you stopping by and saying howdy.

Martina

This is so great! Congratulations Sharon! This will be a successfull and wonderful year for you! Now book three and in October the 4th!

It’s good to read all the positive and wonderful reviews of your book! And they really do look lovely together on the book shelf!

Vee

Congratulations dear friend. All of the praises are well deserved. I cannt tell you how excited and proud I am of your achievments. I know there will be many more to come.
Your gift for writing is getting all the accolades you deserve!!!
I love the gorgeous pics of you holding the glorious third novel and the three sitting pretty on your shelf. Amazing!!
Love always

Jenny, I LOVE your enthusiasm! And persistence. Wow! Glad your mission was successful. I know how you feel as the stores nearest me do not have good stock and the one in my hometown has only carried my books once for about 2 weeks! I love how you are so confident about the "future fans" – Ha! Fabulous! I hope all of you are pleased with what you read.

The quiz is just meant to answer in the comments section. Nothing fancy. Like I said, it is just for fun! Perhaps I should clarify that since no one has been brave enough to respond. Thanks for questioning. Good luck with it!

Jenny

Dear Sharon!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I hope you had a wonderful holiday!! You have definitely had a great start to 2010!!! Two future fans took me today to get a copy of the new book. YEA!!! We had to go to two different stores in two different towns!!! Crazy right!! I was a gal with a mission. However, it gave me the time to tell them all about your books!!
I’m not sure how or where I go to take the quiz?? I know I am so excited about the new book that I may have overlooked something or jumped ahead and not read something right.
I am so excited for you!! Thank you again for all of your hard work!!!
Sincerely,
Jenny

Sharon Lathan

Thanks Esther Ann! I am indeed still beaming. It is very exciting. I have the book sitting right here on my desk to keep me glowing! It is so pretty. 🙂 But I wouldn’t be here without wonderful friends like you. So, thank YOU for sharing this time with me.

Esther Ann

Congratulations Sharon!

You have every right to be excited and proud of your hard work in writing these fantastic novels. Beam away, you deserve to.

Yes, all three of your books look wonderful together and even by themselves. I am so happy to be a part of your celebrations. Thanks for sharing with us.

Take care and God Bless.

Hi Dina. You are very sweet. I do hope you enjoy what you read between those amazingly beautiful covers. 🙂

Thanks Susanne. I love being able to share this experience with my readers. It is a tremendous delight for me. I hope your book arrives soon. Good luck with the quizzes. No one has tackled them as yet. Come on ladies! You can do it!!

Susanne

Dear Sharon,
first of all I want to say thank you to you. Thank you for sharing it all with us, thank you for preparing all this, thank you for your kind words.
I just came home from work and immediately I went to the computer and started reading your blog.
I t is so good to hear of your success.
I love the first review here, not even Jane Austen could have done it better! That´s it!

It is so good to read about the growing love between the Darcys.
Yesterday evening I got completely lost in Lizzy´s birthday celebrations, once again. Unfortunately I haven´t got my book now, but I have your selfpublished book, so I will wait patiently for the new one.

And now I´ll read the following quizzes,…..

Lots of love to you,
Susanne

Dina

Congrats Sharon, they looked beautiful, lovely covers and I know the contents are great also. 🙂

Sharon Lathan

Thanks Katy. I was stunned by how lovely they look sitting side-by-side. Sourcebooks put a great deal of thought into the novels appearance as a set. Glad you stopped by!

Thanks Jen! I appreciate your help in any success I end up having. Great reviews and supportive readers it how it happens. 🙂
