Tomorrow: THE SINS OF LORD LOCKWOOD
Hi, all!
It’s the end of February, and if you’re in my part of the world, the view out the window is bare-branched and snowy. I hope you’re keeping warm!
Ten years ago, at this same time of year, I received one of the first printed copies of my debut novel, THE DUKE OF SHADOWS. I still remember my wonder and excitement as I paged through the book — and how boggled I was that others (people who weren’t related to me, even!) might read a story that I had once imagined would travel no farther than my keyboard.
That novel featured a secondary character — Liam, the Earl of Lockwood — with a mysterious and tortured past. Abducted on his wedding day and wrongly imprisoned for many years, Liam had returned to London with vengeance in his heart . . . and a tightly disciplined refusal to speak of Anna, his long-lost wife.
Liam and Anna’s tempestuous reunion, which took place “off screen” during THE DUKE OF SHADOWS, has inspired more reader emails than any other story I’ve written. Again and again, I’ve been asked: Where is Lockwood’s book?
In truth, it took a full decade to figure out how to tell his story. But when it hits the shelves tomorrow, I hope you’ll decide it was worth the wait.
Publishers Weekly gave THE SINS OF LORD LOCKWOOD a starred review, calling it "rich with powerful prose... an exemplar of second-chance love stories." You can read an excerpt of the book at my website here: meredithduran.com/tsoll.html. You can also pre-order THE SINS OF LORD LOCKWOOD at your local bookstore or any of the internet retailers listed at the bottom of this email.
For all of you who asked about Lockwood — you’ll notice that the book is dedicated to you. My grateful thanks for your encouragement to tell his story. I believe it might be my favorite of all the books I’ve written, precisely because my muse, in this case, was you.
