Q&A with Trudy Brasure discussion

My continuation story actually begins with a twist near the end and takes the reader through the Thorntons’ first year of marriage. The epilogue gives several glimpses into their future. This is the place for any questions or comments you have about my book.

Hi Trudy, I am going to read your book, but do you know if there's a paperback version? I'm going to try to find it in France.
Thank you in advance for your answer. :)

The paperback is available at Amazon France and AmazonUK. It is also available at The Book Depository, which offers free shipping worldwide.
I make no apologies. My book is terribly romantic. It should appeal to all hopeless romantics!:)
For an interesting interview on my book with a fellow Goodreads member's literature blog, take a peek here:

No, please, no apologies, I think I will completely melt while reading your book. I've just read the interview: I'm so looking forward to reading the book.
Thank you.

Melting has been known to happen. ;) I hope you enjoy it.

I have your book in my hands, just received it yesterday! I'll begin as soon as I finish the one I'm reading! :)

How exciting! Don't you love the cover? I hope you love the story. :)

The cover is gorgeous! I wish I coud have it as a poster in my room!
I'll let you know about the book as soon as I finish it! I won't forget that. :)

Hi Trudy! Although I dropped a message on AHA, just wanted to let you know that I've caved in to my greatest desire of owning a paperback copy of this and I've just ordered it from Amazon UK. I adore it to pieces and I agree wholeheartedly with Nathelie - the cover is gorgeous and I wish it were a poster so I could stick it on my wall.

That aside, the story is gorgeously romantic and as a die-hard romance lover, you have no idea who much I adore this story. (... Or maybe you do. It's smush, smush and even more smush <3)

Thanks so much for telling me. Yes, the cover alone is wonderfully romantic. I'm glad my story meets a need for those who wished to see more romance between John and Margaret. It was my intention to share my vision of their happiness. I'm pleased it's given you so much enjoyment. :)

I finally got a kindle-copy today. The book has been on my list for a while and now I just got it. :)
I´m eager to dive into your story of Margaret and John!

I'm beginning the book this weekend! Yes! I feel like I'm going to devour it lol.

How fun! I hope you both enjoy. :)

This is horrible, I read a paragraph... I take a pause to think of it and read the same paragraph again for my own pleasure... Result: I take twice more time to end one chapter lol!
And I keep on "aaawing" all the time. I am to romantic and I am well served here! Thank you Trudy!!!
*off back to the book*

Lol! I'm glad you're enjoying it. Take your time... :)

Book ended, Trudy, may I hug you for this book?
I have written a review for A Heart for Milton that expresses my emotions.
I cried at the end, there are so many emotions in my little heart... ♥
God, I love this couple so much...

Aww, I'll take a cyber hug any time! I'm so glad it touched you. I didn't mean to make anyone cry, but I'm happy to know the characters came alive to you.

I adore John and Margaret, too. They are real to me. Thanks so much for your sweet words and your review. Hopefully, I gave you hours of pleasurable reading. :)


I'm working on my next N&S novel...

Then cyber hug given!
Your book has really touched me, I'm still missing the characters. They are so alive in me that it is like they are part of my life.
I had to cry, I am hopelessly romantic that me tears had to come. But no problem, Trudy, I have enjoyed reading about them. And the hours of pleasurable reading were so intense that I will read the book again!

Keep me updated on your next N&S novel, I wonder what you could write about N&S but I will buy the book for sure!

I have introduced A Heart for Milton on a French forum dedicated to classic books like Jane Austen and Elizabeth Gaskell. We used to chat a lot about books there.
I hope people will get curious enough to buy it. :)

Thanks for recommending my book to others. :)
Can you give me a link? I can read French fairly well.

Of course, here is the link: http://the-inn-at-lambton.cultureforu...

Oh, what marvelous discussions...Why isn't N&S known as a classic alongside P&P and Jane Eyre, which ending do you prefer: the book or adaptation...!

I would love to jump in, but I fear that trying to write in French would be disastrous! All those accent marks....

Jump in, don't hesitate, introduce yourself and say that your keyboard doesn't allow you to type the accents. ;)
By the way my nickname on the forum is Sybel. ^^

Oh wow Trudy, I can't even explain how much I am loving this book! The romance!! It's taking a very long time to read because I keep reading parts over and over! And your John IS John - he is exactly how I imagine him! I am so excited to read that you are working on another N&S book. Will it be another variation? I will definitely be buying it!

Do you have any other N&S stories on the internet Trudy? Perhaps on some N&S fan fiction sites? If so, could we have a link? :)

I'm so glad the book is meeting that romance 'need' and that you think I captured the essence of John Thornton. I'm a great admirer of both the book and the adaptation and I like to think I understand Gaskell's characters pretty well.
I post my stories on an Internet forum called 'C19' that was begun for those that fell in love with the BBC's adaptation of N&S. I'm an active member and moderator at C19. My latest story, which I hope to publish when it's finished, is entitled 'In Consequence' and makes a different twist in Gaskell's plot at a crucial event.
Here's the link: http://c19.proboards.com/index.cgi?bo...

Thanks Trudy :) I have been a member of c19 for years now, such a treasure trove for all N&S and RA fans!! I had a look but I couldn't spot your story - what is the sub-board entitled?

Oh, found it! Trudy's Tattle :)
