Sharon, I just ordered Two Shall Become One from Amazon! I'm so excited to finally start the Saga, I can't wait!! 🙂

Luthien84

Hi Sharon, sorry for coming late for the party. Congrats on your success, truly dreams come true.

I haven't got the chance to dive into your saga yet though I read a few chapters of Book 1 and I love what I read. I will keep your books in mind when I have nothing better to read. Hope you don't mind me posting your blog tour on my blog here .

I'm curious about when will you end the Darcy saga. Will it be in Book 10 (like Rebecca Collin's The Pemberley Chronicles) or more than 10?

From Sharon–
Never too late to party, Luthien. Thanks so much for stopping by! To answer your question: I have no plans at the moment for where it will end. I intend to focus on telling Dr. Darcy's story for the present. After that I have a feeling the Darcys will be tired of staying in the background and will need to tell more of their life and love. But I honestly do not know for sure. Thank you SO much for sharing my happenings on your blog! I think that is fantastic and truly do appreciate it.

Hi, Sharon! Congrats on your new release!
I was wondering– When you are writing about Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth, and after having been writing about them for awhile, do you see certain actors in your mind? (like from any of the movies?) or have you invented your own thinking of how they look?
I can't wait to read your series and I most definitely joined your mailing list!

From Sharon–
Chelsea, The main characters are definitely Matthew and Keira, but with subtle twists in my imagination as they mature. The others, such as Col Fitzwilliam and Georgiana have always been a melding of the actors from the 2005 movie with tweaks I see within my head. In general I now know them so well that I hardly have to think about what they look like!

wow. congratulations!! i was out shopping and saw your book at Barnes and Noble and i had to buy it right then and there!! i made my friends stop and wait for me hahaha i love your series and am in the process of reading this latest addition… and i am loving it so much even though i just started! if i were to have a whole day free, i would definitely read TTWMD the entire day and make sure i finished it! i just got to the part where Mr and Mrs Wickham come in. Great stuff!

i have a question….. did you always know you would write so many books for this series?? did you even know you wanted it to be a whole series? 🙂

Sharon, I have to say that I have not YET read the Saga. I would have read them by now if my library carried them. But, since there is only so much money and too many books to buy, I have not bought them, yet. However, after reading your posts and other reader's comments, I can tell you that your books are next on my purchase list. Although, if your Saga is anything like Pamela Aidan's, I will have to buy all 5 books at once as I will want to pick up the next book as soon as I finish the previous one. Anyway, I am so super excited to read your novels!! Thanks so much for writing them and giving your readers HEA!!

I just read your post over on Austen Authors and had to run over here to say congratulations again. What a lovely pic of all your books on your shelf. What a wonderful accomplishment Sharon. Big smiles from me.

Dear Sharon!

I don´t find the right words to express how much I love your new book! It is amazing, wonderful, full of drama and love.
I really love that there are so many sweet and sensuous parts for Lizzy and Darcy.
I have to admit that I flipped through all the chapters and that I read it now chapter for chapter.
Lizzy and Darcy, what can I say, I felt every moment with them, I so adore them.
The chapter with the bad boy is really, really good. And Darcy is there to protect his family and fight for them.
You can really write everything!
You are the best!!! Thank you so very much for this book, it is one of the best books I ever read. I presented it already on the facebook page of our bookstore and as soon as I have finished it I´will write reviews everywhere!

Thank you and lots of love,
Susanne

Seli in tears – Nice! I admit I was going for that reaction to those chapters. Glad to know I accomplished my established goals. 🙂

Ah, thanks Jessica. November is a ways away, true, but the other novels are there to comfort.

Sharon Lathan

BAM = Books-a-Million. Duh! I knew it was going to be obvious like that. We don't have that chain here on the west coast. Thanks for clarifying, Christy.

Funny about Mrs. Smyth: I always had her as disagreeable but without any intent to use her as I did. Yet when figuring out the whole plot line with Wickham if just made sense! She was convenient. LOL!

Thanks for the review, Ninja. You know how important that is. I really do appreciate it. 🙂

Love the photo, Kathy! I don't think I will ever tire of seeing all my novels lined up like that.

Jessica

Got my TTWMD book delivered to my Kindle on Friday! Just finished reading it tonight (Sunday). I thoroughgly enjoyed this book. I had trouble putting it down. I was so engrossed in the characters and the story I HAD to keep reading! excellent book Sharon, now I just need your next book in the Darcy saga to come out. I cant get enough of your books. Thanks for writing such wonderful books!

Seli

I FINALLY STARTED READING YOUR BOOK TODAY! AND OMG!!! OMG! I HAVE READ FIRST 6 CHAPTERS AND YOU HAD ME IN TEARS! SHARON WOW I AM SO HAPPY WITH YOUR BOOK… I DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY LOL YOU ARE AMAZING AND I AM STILL DOING THE HAPPY DANCE MY FRIEND AND TOMORROW I SHALL CONTINUE THIS AMAZING BOOK YOU HAVE WRITTEN! THANK YOU

Kathy

Good Morning Sharon. I have posted the promised picture to your Facebook page, mostly because I could not figure out how to do it on this site. Hope you enjoy seeing it on the shelf 🙂

Ninja Elizabeth

sorry for double post… but I just finished the book! I couldn't put it down! Great job, Sharon!

it was a tad sad for me… being the huge Keira fan that I am to picture the 'movie faces' associated with The Bennets, Bingleys, and Darcy and Georgie…Wickham was played by Rupert Friend whom Keira dated for 5 yrs after meeting him on the set…

Ninja Elizabeth

Picked up my copy today! I can't believe I'm already half way through!! I'm loving it so far!

Christy

Hi Sharon,
BAM is internet lingo for Books-A-Million. Off the top of my head I easily saw the departure for the Georgiana story, and a story coming for Dr. Darcy since next to Lizzy, he is Darcy's most valued confidante…a right hand man so to speak. Esp. how Darcy has come to depend on him. Darcy is one by nature who will not share his vulnerabilities lightly anyhow, so it is good to see him learning how to separate from his public persona/ Darcy the landowner/businessman.

My most favorite plot from TTWMD was the reemergence of Mrs. Smyth. Talk about someone who felt ENTITLED!! I am cheering over the 'resolution'. When Darcy was speaking to her…not only was I enthusiastically cheering him on, but I wanted to be right there HELPING him!! LOL!! I do not wish to spoil anything for your readers…but I think a history with her should be STRONGLY encouraged;)

Then, given your love for the Regency…I see you possibly exploring a military history or something with Colonel Fitzwilliam.

Hope you enjoy those~Christy

Sharon Lathan

No, YOU ROCK Celeste! Without my faithful readers who join me launch after launch I would not be here. I am the fortunate one. 🙂

Hey Vee! Love ya baby! I am beyond thrilled that you received TTWMD so soon. I hate that my pals in OZ or the UK, etc, have to wait so long after everyone else. This go around has been speedier for everyone. Happy reading! Again! LOL!

Sharon Lathan

Thank you Christy. Question: What is BAM? A book store I am assuming but I am not sure. I am very happy you enjoyed TTWMD. Yeah! That is great news, of course. Second Question: Share which minor plot lines you think would be most interesting. I am always curious what the readers are struck by.

Hi Kathy! Already on the second reading? WOW! I would love to see the image of my novel on the shelf. Yes! Do share!!

Lets all HAPPY DANCE together, how about it Seli? Sounds like fabulous fun!

Vee

We are all doing the HAPPY DANCE with you Sharon! Truly amazing having your dream come true and thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with us all. My life would not have been the same without your friendship and beautifully romantic books!
I love the praise and comments you have listed above. I am so glad that many readers are going back to the beginning to see where this incredible story started! They are in for a real treat! Finally they will see what they've been missing!
I just received my book yesterday which was the 1st April here, so right on time!!! I am about to start reading it tonight! So I can imagine there will not be much sleep! 🙂
Adam has written a wonderful passage and congrats on the mention. Woohoo!
I look forward to joining in all the fun on this momentus occassion. Wishing you loads of success with your latest launch dear friend!

Hi Sharon…..here I am, HAPPILY, at another launch party!! I am half-way thru "The Trouble With Mr. Darcy" an I am so engrossed in it! So exciting!!! Love the cover color too! I'll be back on soon to fill you in on my full opinion of this wonderful book……..you ROCK Sharon!!!!!!!

Seli

I AM DOING THE HAPPY DANCE!!! THE BOOK IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!! I HAVE A JUCKY COLD SO I CANT REALLY READ IT TODAY – BUT TOMORROW IT IS GOING TO BE DARCY AND ELIZABETH DAY!

Kathy

Sharon, I am getting ready to read your wonderful book…for the second time! I was one of those pre orders that got the book early. I was so sad to hear that another Darcy and Elizabeth book is not in the works, but I look forward to Gorgiana's story, as well as George's. I took a photo of your book on the shelf of Barnes and Noble in Evansville, IN today and will send it to you as soon as I can get it off of the phone : ).
Thank you for your wonderful stories.

Christy

Hi Sharon,
Happy Launch day!! Not only am I celebrating your new release but the end of March Madness too. LOL!! Yes, I saw TTWMD in BAM last weekend;)
I have loved all of your books from the beginning, and yet I must tell you that this is your BEST book yet. WELL DONE!! Without wishing to spoil anything for your devoted readers….personal favorites for me has been the emergence of minor characters from previous novels playing significant plot roles in this one. The climatic ending makes this a MUST READ for your fans and I am sure will gain new readers too;) I will also tell you that I see the potential for you creating several new stories from minor plot lines in this book. My one disappointment with a really great book is when it ENDS!! LOL!! Heartfelt congratulations on your new release~Christy
