Sierra Faith asked Melanie Dickerson:

Hi, Melanie! I just finished The Merchant's daughter and I loved it!!!!!! It is the third book by you I have read and it is definitely my favorite! I am so excited to read the next ones! :D Which one took you the longest to write?

Melanie Dickerson Hello, Sierra Faith! As you might have guessed, The Merchant's Daughter took me longer to write than any of my other books. That was due in part to what was going on in my life at the time, the amount of research I had to do, and even the heaviness of subject matter, not to mention the fact that I was trying to get The Healer's Apprentice published at the time and not having any luck. Everyone was telling me that Medievals did not sell well, nobody wanted them, etc. So . . . it took me about a year to write.
Thanks for asking! So happy you enjoyed it!

A Goodreads user asked Melanie Dickerson:

I just finished your lovely story of my new best friend Leorah Langdon and loved it with all my heart. But while I was reading it I couldn't help but notice the many parallels to the beloved Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. I wondered if maybe it was an inspiration for 'A Viscount's Proposal'. Could you oblige me? I'd love to know.

Hi! I have read all you books and I love them. My favourite is the Hagenheim series. I hope you never finish that series! The Huntress of Thornbeck forest and The Beautiful Pretender is also very captivating. A Spy's Devotion is a great book too! Do you think you are going to end the Hagengiem series soon?

Paige asked Melanie Dickerson:

Hi Mrs. Dickerson! I am writing a book of my own and trying to figure it out (slowly!) But I have a few technical questions. What font do you use for your books, and what size is it? And what spacing do you use? Also do you use Word or Google docs, or any specific template or website to write your books? Thank you! Paige
