The youngest of four children, Elizabeth Bass grew up outside of a very small town in East Texas in pre-NetFlix days. The first loves in her life were animals and Humphrey Bogart. Had it not been for a father who kept the house full of books and some tireless elementary school teachers, she could have happily remained an illiterate rabbit caretaker addicted to black-and-white films on the late late show.
Before writing Miss You Most of All, she published thirty romance and women’s fiction novels under the name Liz Ireland and co-authored two Regencies with her sister as Alexandra Bassett.
She lives with her husband in Montreal, where she writes and does freelance editing. An elderly cat or dog (or two…or four) can usually be found in her apartment, and during the busiest day she can often find time to sneak in an old movie.
I know you probably get this all the time, but I just finished “My Favorite Marquess”, and I have been searching all over for a hint of a third book. This page mentions the two novels, so obviously the third does not exist. So the question is, will there ever be a book for Sophy? Or should I just give her and Freddy a happy ending of my own?
Thanks,
Kellie
So glad you liked My Favorite Marquess. Sadly, Sophy and Freddy never got their own book. Feel free to imagine them happily bickering their way into the sunset!
Yo, that’s what’s up thrutuflly.
Just finished “Miss You Most of All” and want to encourage you to continue with Laura, Webb and Erica and Heidi…
You’ve created a summer I felt part of and I’ll bet another story of their lives would be just as enjoyable to share.
Thank you.
Thank you! There will be a short story featuring the same characters in the upcoming Christmas Anthology from Kensington, “Making Spirits Bright.” I hope you’ll enjoy it!
I guess this means no more wonderful historic Westerns? Or Alexandra Bassett historicals? If so, I will certainly miss the hours of reading pleasure your wonderful imagination has given me and the books you added to my keeper shelf.
Best wishes,
Linda
Hi Linda, I do hope there will be more Westerns someday–they are some of my favorite books to write! I’m so glad you liked them.
Best,
Liz
I just finished Miss you most of all. I loved it, loved it, loved it. It is marvelous and memorable. Now I want to find where Grace is needed. You are now among my memorable authors when people ask me for authors and book titles.
Wow, what a nice compliment, Joyce. Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy Grace.
I am reading “Runaway Christmas” and loving it, especially the passage “When she was younger, it had never occurred to her that the biggest gift of her life was sitting a few feet away–her mom herself, who she’d always assumed would just be there. She would have given anything to be opening a boring nightgown this morning.” Thank you what comforting thought for all of us that have lost our mothers. Looking forward to reading your other books.
Thank you, Marguerite. (Love your name, by the way!) I’m so glad you’re liking “Runaway Christmas”!
Hello, I just finished reading “My Favorite Marquess.” Thank you so much for it. I tried to make the book last for as many days as I could because it was so nice to be in the world you created…with flawed yet lovable characters. I actually felt more at peace with the often-annoying people around me! Please, please consider writing more ! You’ll make lots of people happy.
Thank you so much! We enjoyed writing “My Favorite Marquess,” so it’s great to hear that it’s still getting some love!
