Hi Mrs. Baldwin! I am a HUGE fan of the Stranje House series!! While Georgiana is my favorite character, I have really enjoyed reading from the other point of views present in the series. Do you have a character whose point of view was easiest to write through or most enjoyable? I was also wondering if we would get anymore scenes/books from Georgie's point of view. Thank you!

Hi Georgiana! I’m so happy you like the Stranje House series. Thank you for letting me know.
It’s a joy to write about each of the characters. To be honest I love each one of them and I’ve enjoyed being in their “skin“ during each of their viewpoint novels. Each one was easier in different aspects. For instance Jane was easy for me to write emotionally, but more of a challenge in some of her strategic thinking. Tess was easy for me to understand because of her physicality, but some of her emotions were extremely challenging for me. Georgiana loves science and so do I, plus she was very logical and that was easy for me to write, but her innocence when it comes to understanding others was difficult . Maya is very intriguing and I’m still discovering more about her. It’s a challenge but I’m loving it!
Here’s the thing: to write from a character’s viewpoint I have to get into their head and I think a writer has to love her characters, flaws and all. Which one of the girls was easiest, which one was hardest? I can’t choose. They’ve become like sisters to me. I laughed and cried with all of them so far and I can’t wait to learn more about Sera in book five.

Hi, Kathleen! I discovered your Stranje House series last year, and I've enjoyed it A LOT! I deeply related to book one instantly and was wondering if you were going to be writing more books on Georgie's POV. When is book 4 going to be released? I read book 1 to 3 in literally a week. Also, I was wondering if there are going to be other books coming. I hope you keep writing books as I enjoy them so much.
