Which is Jacob’s favourite room in Wolfe Manor?
The nursery on the top floor of Wolfe Manor figures in the story as a place where Jacob and his siblings had some happy memories, and actually felt safe, so I think that must be his favourite room.
How did Jacob pop the big question?
On the penthouse terrace of a museum he designed in Paris, right at the end of the story!
KATE’S WRITING SECRETS …
What do you enjoy most about writing as part of a continuity series; how does it differ from writing a single title?
I enjoy writing continuity books because I get such a lovely sense of being part of something bigger than just myself. Writing can often be a lonely enterprise, and I love hearing from editors and authors about all the elements that go into the continuity. And the moment when I crack open the “bible” that tells all the back story of the characters and their world is very exciting—and then I get to jump right into it!
What do you think makes a great hero/heroine?
I love heroes and heroines who are vulnerable in their weaknesses, and yet find their hidden strengths through loving each other.
When you are writing, what is a typical day?
After the morning school rush I usually sit down with a cup of coffee and answer e-mails and do more business-type things. Then I’m full on being a mum (my children are in school, except for my youngest daughter who is two) until nap time. When she goes down for a sleep, I grab the chance to write for a couple of hours before the other children come home and all becomes happy chaos once more.
