Writing the book...Emilie is related to Beatrice in The Notorious Countess, but I had imagined Emilie first. Both Emilie and Beatrice are artists, but that isn't the connection for me. The connection is the lighthearted moments of the stories. For instance, when Marcus asks her to marry him—a sometimes private moment—and he's arranged a witness, but then, so did she.

Marcus
It's usually to find a photo of what my characters look like, but after I finished this novel, I saw a photo of what a younger version of Marcus might be.
The wistfulness in his eyes worked perfect for my character, and the serious side of him was exactly what I wanted the character to have.
