Well we have been waiting and this is a great idea. Justin poping up in King's Ransom.  YAY!!!!

So many of my readers have been urging me to continue the Justin de Quincy mysteries. I really would like to do so, for I’ve become quite fond of Justin and John is always great fun to write about, especially on his darker days. As I’ve explained in the past, my publisher asked me to concentrate on the historicals for now, as they sell better. I have not given up on Justin, though; there is still way too much of his story still to tell. Besides, it is wonderful to be able to play God with my fictional characters—they do whatever I want them to do, and no back talk! Several of you have suggested that I give Justin some screen time in Ransom. I was dubious at first, but the more I thought about it, the more the idea appealed to me. For members of Justin’s Facebook Fan Club, they’ll be getting a “Justin fix” to tide them over until I can resume his series, and so will I---I’ve missed him! I suppose it is possible that the powers-that-be might want me to leave his scenes on the cutting room floor, but we won’t know unless I try, will we?
 

Oh, cool!  Another reason to look forward to Ransom.  As patiently as I can. :)

Huzzah!
