First of all many compliments, of course, to Mary Balogh for her long career and her long list of novels always appreciated. I must say my favourite one is MORE THAN A MISTRESS, a DIK for me.

Reading you interview I see you say you now concentrate more on the heroand heroine and less on minor characters: don't you think this is a contradiction, considering that in the last decade most of the novels are part of pretty long series, where members of the fmily and friends appear several times? The choice of writing in series was yours or "pushed" bt the publishing house? And why do you think, this trend is lately becoming so important for the market?

Thank you so much for your kindness, I will certainly read your

new book coming out next month in Italy.

Wonderful, Mary Balogh!! What a fantastic surprise!

First of all compliment for your magnificient books, I often re-read them, for they are so beautiful" My all time favourite is DANCING WITH CLARA, so sweet and moving. Everyone prior me asked you many questions, I just wanted to ask to Mrs Balogh: I

have the impression in your books women are stronger and more coriaceous than men. What do you think about it?

Thanks and many compliments again.
