Hi Anne –
I loved your interview with USA Today Happy Every After and finding out more about your background and especially the time you spent in London!
You mentioned loving the National Portrait Gallery and mentioned how the paintings in the historical collection seemed “to have its own secrets” and “their own story to tell”.
Have you eve thought of writing a character in one of your future books where that actually happens and one of the characters, or someone in their family, is actually that person?l

Thank you so much, Jeanne!
It’s funny that you asked about writing the portraits into a story. My second book is actually about a couple of scandalous portraits! (The story won’t be out until the fall.)
Now you’ve made me want to go back to the Portrait Gallery for more inspiration.
Have a great weekend!

Hi Anne!
I’m thrilled to learn that in Once She Was Tempted you’ll be visiting the Portrait Gallery again! I can’t wait for it to be released in September!
I’ve always found portraits fascinating and ironically we have a picture of my Dad dressed in a dress from back in the early 1930′s and another of my mother’s grandmother from the same time period and ironically they both not only have the original frames but both frames are exactly the same! Since they both lived in different places in Up-State New York at the time that were miles away from each other I find it fascinating.
We also have some old tintypes photos of family members and it really makes you wonder what type of life you would have lived in those long ago times. Whenever I look at them questions always come to mind that will never be answered and I wonder if all those years ago in London if others felt the same way walking through the very same Portrait Gallery you walked through while you were there!
