Nice Page..
I have been read almost all her books..
I like reading these in a sequence.
After reading "These Old Shades" I read the
"Devil's Cub". There is a third book in this sequel -
can anyone please tell me its name?
Thanks. |

The next one you are thinking of is An Infamous Army. This is mentioned, along
with the characters that link the books underneath the book links in
the Romance Novels page. Sally. |

My name is Leigh Albright and I work for Sourcebooks, Inc. We are
proud to announce that beginning with our Fall 2007 season, we will be

excited to present them in trade paperback in the U.S. and Canada. We
are starting with An Infamous Army in September and
Cotillion will be available in October. Sally, please
let me know if you have any questions or want any more information

Hello:
I have been an avid reader and completely hooked on Georgette Heyer
for the last 42 years. No-one can ever take her place writing Regency
novels.
My favourite is ARABELLA with FRIDAY'S CHILD a close second, and
I have just finished reading SYLVESTER for the 6th time (I think).
I am fortunate enough to have two volumes containing 10 of her novels.
Both were gifts from family who know how much I enjoy her work.
The Regency period is my time and I could have lived in those days (I
think), but would have needed to be a "Lady" and marry an
"Earl" or a "Duke" with at least 50,000 pounds per
year! Well I can dream, can't !? |

I've been reading The Unknown Ajax again, and this time I noticed
Hugo refers to staying with the Smiths for awhile, so there's
another connection. What's the reference for the quotes in the
book? I've never heard where it came from (and I've been
looking). I'd also like to find out if you know of a book talk
online? It's always more fun to read Heyer when you can share
her with someone! |

Totally in love with GH! Have been reading her since I was a
child...still can't reconcile myself with the fact that Black
Moth and These Old Shades are not supposed to be connected! |

They are connected in a way....have a look at my comment to Nalini
below. Sally. |

My mother first introduced me to Georgette Heyer at age 11 (I was an
early reader) with Powder and Patch. I like knowing that there are
books that are clean, funny, literate, and make you think. Why do
people think there must be sexual content to be a romance? It's
so much better to use your imagination, anyway! I love this website;
you do a great job. |

Hello,
I was wondering if you could tell me who owns the rights to her
books. My husband is vice president of a production company and we
are thinking about making a few of her books into movies (just
thinking) but we need some more information. So if you could let me
know, that would be wonderful. |

For those who are interested...I have had a few enquiries about who to
contact for rights to Heyer's oeuvre. So far as I know the
rights are still kept by Heyer's son; Sir Richard Rougier. His
foreign rights agents are The Buckman Agency (last I knew), and his UK
agent is Mr Peter Janson-Smith (7 North End House, Fitzjames Avenue,
London, W14 0RS). Good luck, Sally. |

I have been reading GH since school and love her books. Yes all of
them including the not so popular ones like the Nonesuch and Simon the
Coldheart. I feel that The Black Moth should be counted as the first
book of the "Avon" set, later books being of course These
Old Shades etc.. Lots of similarities between Tracy and Justin. What
do you say. |

My mother, god bless the beautiful lil' darlin', introduced
me to Georgette Heyer when I was around 14 - I think Powder and Patch
was the first I ever read. Since then I've been hooked, still am
at 35, still will be at 75 no doubt. Her eloquency, character
development, plot diversity; tangled webs - they all fascinate me.
I've tried to find similar authors and have read all the Austen
and Bronte on offer but I'm afraid Heyer still comes out on top
for wit and insight. I myself am a writer, non-fiction but
nevertheless I use my brain to construct sentences and I have to thank
Heyer and my mother to allow me to grow up with her immaculate
sentence structure - I've not yet found a grammatical flaw in her
writing (apart from the odd printing issue). I really think she helped
my understanding and use of the english language. I love this site as
well, and have often wondered why on earth no more of her novels have
been adapted to film. If there's anyone out there willing to
help purchase the rights I know my sister, who's also a writer,
and I would be up for the job!!! I'd love to kick off with the
Unknown Ajax - what a collection of characters to have some fun with!! |

I'd like to ask you to change something in your web site. You
have "Jean Mason's interview with Ms Heyer." Well, at
that time, no woman was referred to as "Ms." but either Miss
or Mrs. Call her Ms. Heyer, is like referring to black slaves as
"African-Americans" --preposterous... |

Thanks for your opinion. I thought I was quoting the article, but
after re-checking this wasn't the case. In any case, I've
removed the text you found so preposterous. Sally. |

There's an interesting post about Georgette Heyer (and this
fascinating web site of yours!) over on The Book Den. The title: In Georgette Heyer's
"Footsteps". Again, this site is a wonderful wealth
of information. Good job! |
