JoAnne asked Kate Forsyth:

Just a comment to let you know that I was starting to curse you a bit as I kept reading The Wild Girl, thinking 'How long can she keep these two apart?!' Then I read your afterword about the timeline for the real Dortchen & Wilhelm's relationship and had a much greater appreciation for how you worked that into your story. Thanks for all that research, and more importantly, for an enjoyable book!

Kate Forsyth Hi JoAnne

I know! Trying to sustain sexual tension for decades was so hard! People keep asking me if I changed anything of the facts of their life, and I say that if I could've got them together sooner, I would have!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it despite the delayed sexual gratification :)

Hoping you read some more of my books one day.

best wishes

Kate

How do you get inspired to write?

Lauren Conrad

Lauren Conrad asked Kate Forsyth:

To me, Bitter Greens, The Beast's Garden, and The Wild Girl seem like they fit nicely into one subgenre of historical fiction while your children series seem like a totally different entity. Do you feel that way or do you think of those three and your children's books as one canon, if you will?

Alicia

Alicia asked Kate Forsyth:

Hi Kate!! I've SOOO loved both Bitter Greens and the Wild Girl! I can't wait for another one of your books to spend a weekend with :) I've been keeping my eyes open everywhere for The Beast's Garden and Beauty in Thorns, but I can't seem to find them in the US on any of the typical sites/bookstores. Are they available here somewhere or do you have any updates on when they might be?
