The Leopard Unleashed

Начало книги

The Leopard Unleashed was my third published novel and it continues the family story begun with The Wild Hunt and followed by The Running Vixen. The three books together have sometimes been called ‘The Ravenstow Trilogy’, but I’m not sure that it’s a correct umbrella. I never intended the books to be a trilogy. It was my intention to keep going with various family members for as long as the muse inspired. However, the vagaries of the publishing world and requirements of editors meant that The Leopard Unleashed became the final work in the series. Readers still ask me if I am going to continue the story, but I have to answer, not for the moment. However, it might be of interest to know that the early chapters of what I intended to be book four, were slightly modified and sneakily incorporated into the beginning of The Love Knot.

My novels have changed as my career has progressed. I began by writing historical adventure/romance stories with imaginary protagonists and have now moved on to bio graphical fiction with characters who actually lived. The Leopard Unleashed belongs to the adventure/romance oeuvre but I have striven to be as historically accurate as possible.
