[687] Thu 2 Jul 2009, 14:40 - Vanessa Tomlin - from: United States I want to get an all new collection of the latest in paperbacks for Georgette Heyer but the latest from Sourcebooks is larger than a 'normal' paperback. Is there a way I could verify that they will be publishing ALL of her books? I want my collection to fit my bookshelves... Rating:

[685] Sun 21 Jun 2009, 13:00 - Mrs Wilberforce - from: United Kingdom I recently started to re-read Georgette Heyer & had forgotten how much I enjoyed them. However there is something in 'Frederica' that is puzzling me so I had to email you to see if you could help. I live in Hemel Hempstead which I mentioned in 'Frederic' as the balloon with the hapless Felix on board passes over it. Sarratt & 'Clipperfield' are also mentioned (page 277 in my version) The place is called Chipperfield, I should know I've been there. Was this a mistake by Georgette (doubtful), a typo by a publisher or has the name changed over the last 200 years? Are you aware of it? BTW – I recently visited the Hellfire Caves in West Wycombe alleged playground of Lord Dashwood's Monks. Too damp by half for any naughty goings on but great acoustics! Rating:

[684] Sun 21 Jun 2009, 07:27 - Margaret - from: United Kingdom Mia I think you are referring to "The Convenient Marriage" (English title). The Earl of Rule has a sword fight with Lord Lethbridge in the Sun Inn at Maidenhead over his cousin Drelincourt's assertion that Horry his wife had been in Lethbridge's house and left her broach there. Drelincourt had picked it up but Lethbridge later forced him to hand it over to him on his way to see Rule at Rule's country house. Rule gets the truth from Lethbridge after wounding him and then asks the Landlord of the inn to get a doctor. Rating:

[683] Sat 20 Jun 2009, 22:55 - Mia McDavid - from: United States I wonder if any of the Pump Room patrons could help me; I can remember the climactic scene of one of the romances and can't figure out which one it is. Does anybody remember the one that ends up with the hero and villain having a sword fight? It's very civilized, and they take off their boots. After the hero wounds the villain he procures medical care for him. Thank you... Rating:

[681] Thu 11 Jun 2009, 18:11 - Betti Cogswell - from: United States I was wondering if anyone has been found to finish "My Lord John"? margaret frazer is one who jumps to mind, and sharon kaye penman is another. but I would love to have someone take over that chore, much like G Heyer did for jane austins last book, or Walsh did for D. Sayers. I have read Heyer since the early 1970's and some of her books Ive read 10 times over I love her stuff. Rating:

[680] Mon 8 Jun 2009, 21:08 - Diane - from: Canada On Wed 22 Aug 2007, 11:19, "Keren" inquired about the ownership of the rights to Heyer's books because her husband was wondering about making film versions of her books. Can you tell me if there is any further info about the rights or if those movie rights were ever bought? Thanks! Rating:

[679] Sat 6 Jun 2009, 06:47 - Anne - from: Australia What a terrific website and how wonderful to see that there are so many other Heyer fans out there! I've just finished (re) reading The Talisman Ring, which is one of my favourites, but I think Friday's Child would be my absolute favourite. I first started out reading my mother's comprehensive collection of Heyer novels, but am now building up my own collection and enjoy escaping into Heyer's world whenever I can. Rating:

[678] Thu 4 Jun 2009, 07:45 - susan gross - from: United States I've really enjoyed viewing your wonderful GH site. It is truly fantastic. I am a moderator for a Richard Armitage fan forum (The Armitage Army @ Richard Armitage Central) and we've recently discovered that Richard has completed the GH audiobook 'Sylvester'. With this in mind, we would appreciate receiving your permission to post your link on our new website which we are currently planning to launch in August '09. Presently, we only offer the fan forum, which you can visit here: http://richardarmitage.proboards.com/index.cgi Of course, if you would like to link our forum to your site, it would be greatly appreciated, but not obligatory by any means. Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to hearing from you. Susan Rating:

[677] Thu 28 May 2009, 07:59 - Christine - from: Malta This website is fantastic. I never knew that there are so many others who love Heyer's books as much as I do. Her writing style is brilliant and I have learnt so much about that period - all the do's and don'ts, etiquette, fashion etc, I don't think that any history book could have done it better! Rating:

[676] Mon 25 May 2009, 23:57 - Denise N - from: Australia Fantastic website. I was thrilled to discover others who knew about my favourite author. I was an avid reader of GH books in my teenage years and hoarded all of them. Now in my fifties, I am revisiting these old friends and enjoying the escapism and captivating stories. Rating:

[675] Mon 25 May 2009, 16:49 - Flo B. - from: United States Heyer's delightful novels introduced me to the genre, and sent me off to find Jane Austin, now also a favorite. I read everything that I could find that both of them wrote, and everything about them. Thank you for providing this site! Rating:

[674] Wed 20 May 2009, 06:49 - pallavi - from: India Hi - wat a pleasant surprise to find this page. I absolutely love heyer's books. They certainly outdo jane aurten in the fun aspect. My fav book is the Grand Sophy and I love the heroine Sophy's character in it. No other heroine of GH has such character flair and intellect, in my opinion. Rating:

[673] Tue 19 May 2009, 03:51 - Sally - from: United Kingdom Hi Anu, You can look at the Hero's web page on the site...down the bottom (as the order is by ranking) you will find Mr Oliver Carleton -- the book is Lady of Quality. Rating:

[672] Tue 19 May 2009, 01:28 - Anu - from: United States this is killing me so i hope someone can help. there is a novel by GH where the hero is a Mr. Carleton. i cant remember the title! pls, pls, help out. Rating:

[671] Sat 16 May 2009, 11:39 - Madhu - from: United States I've loved Georgette Heyers and then onto Regency romances since my"salad" days! Modern romances and the faux regencies make me ! On this trip to the US, (half our year is in India), I discovered Marion Chesney's books. I highly recommend these for those who like clean, amusing, plot driven regencies. The language and style is not as complex as Heyer's but still more period than many. The Poor Relation series, House on 67 Clarges st and School for Manners sries are great fun! I, for one, am grateful for authors like Heyer, Chesney and others, for bringing such lovely,lively happy tales to our lives.....Presently re-reading Venetia after yrs and yrs....slow and luxurious like!! So happy to run into this website and all you fans, lucky me! Rating:
