Jody Hedlund answered Cate's question: Hi Jody! I love your medieval romance series, especially the Lost Princesses and The Knights of Brethren! Is there any chance that you might be working on another medieval romance series? Hi Cate, Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that you love my medieval romances! They are SO much fun to write, and I hope that I can make time to write more!
