I'm having trouble finding The Christmas Book Club. Where can I find it?
Sarah Morgan Hi Jamie, are you in the US/Canada? If so the title is The Book Club Hotel (The Christmas Book Club is the UK title). Sorry for the confusion. The titling is a publisher decision xx

Hi Sarah, I love your books and have just read "The Holiday Cottage". Do you think you will write a sequel?
Sarah Morgan Hi Angela, I'm so happy to hear you loved The Holiday Cottage! I had so much fun writing that book. It is a standalone novel so I have no plans to write further books with those specific characters but all my books have the same 'feel' so hopefully you will find others that you enjoy as much!

Hi Sarah. Do you have any plans to record your "Puffin Island" series? It's one of my favorites by you and I'd love to own the books on audio. I already have your 0.5 "Greek's Rules" audio but would love to listen to the rest. Same question about your "O'Neil Brothers" series. Thanks!
Sarah Morgan Hi there, audiobooks are the responsibility of my publisher and my earlier romance series books including Puffin Island so far haven't been recorded. Hope this might change in the future, but no current details.
So happy to hear you love the series 😀

Hi! Can I just say I love your book The Book Club Hotel? I felt like it was something like Gilmore Girls but with less coffee and more friendship somehow. I loved the tight-nit friendship they all have. I was wondering, was this something you created out of the blue? I loved all the characters and was wondering how they came to be. Were they inspired by real life experience? Love that book so much! :)
Sarah Morgan Hi, I'm so pleased you loved The Book Club Hotel! It came from my imagination rather than real life, but I'm glad you fell in love with the characters.

Hi Sarah, I was wondering, how long does it typically take for you to come up with a concept for a new book? Do they tend to come naturally to you as you're just going about your day to day, or do you have to usually sit down and really ponder about them? What is the writing process like? I'd love to write someday, but don't even know where to begin! Your books are amazing, thank you for sharing your talent!
Sarah Morgan Hi Hillary, thank you for your question and for your kind words - I'm so pleased you enjoy my books and apologies for taking a while to reply. I've had a deadline and a book release which have kept me busy.
I don't really know where my ideas come from - they just come to me (fortunately!) and then I sit down and develop them. It's hard work, but I love it. Good luck with your own writing. There is so much helpful information on the internet now and the best advice is almost always to just sit down and write!
Warmly, Sarah

Hello Ms. Morgan, Just finished reading "Lost to the Desert Warrior" and I truly enjoyed it! I was a bit disappointed that you didn't have an epilogue for Raz and Layla. I'm also dying for a story for Salem and Yasmin. Is there any chance you would write a book for Salem and Yasmin? I would love to read about them and hopefully see more of Raz and Layla's life together since we didn't get an epilogue for them.
Sarah Morgan Hello! Sorry for the delay in answering this. I'm glad you enjoyed Lost to the Desert Warrior. I had fun writing that book. I haven't yet written a story for Yasmin and have no immediate plans to do so but if that changes I will post details on my website.

Is there any book for Carlo (The Younger brother of Nico Santini, The Italian doctor's wife)?
Sarah Morgan Hi there, yes the book is called the Italian's Passionate Proposal - it should still be available as an ebook. Hope this helps!

I have to put in a ? for this to be accepted by the site. Thanks so much for your response Sarah. I am so in love with your writing. The Doukakis Apprentice was my all time favourite HP / Mills and Boon - and believe me, I have read thousands over the last thirty years. The characterization, dialogue were absolutely perfect. You're a fabulous writer and thanks for giving so much joy to so many people. Keep safe.
Sarah Morgan Thank you!!

Hi Sarah I absolutely adored your heroines in The Doukakis Apprentice and The Brazilian Boss' Innocent Mistress, because they were smart, sweet, quirky, humorous and capable. Although they were vulnerable because of their awful childhoods they weren't bitter or angry. Can you tell me other stories where you have heroines like this? They are so adorable, and I love that their heroes recognise and cherish their talent.
Sarah Morgan Hi LilyRosa, so pleased you're enjoying my heroines! Many of my books have the same 'feel' and I hope all my heroines are smart and capable - but in particular you could try Moonlight over Manhattan - Harriet does seem to be a particular favourite with many readers.

Hi Sarah. I was waiting for the audiobook of One More For Chistmas and had a question. Audible has 2 versions of it, one releasing this week which is listed as 11 hrs 31 mins and one releasing at the end of the month which is listed as 16hrs.Is the one coming this week an abridged version since its 4 hrs 30 mins shorter then the one at end of month?? thanks
Sarah Morgan Hi Scott, thank you for your message. I confess I don't know the answer to this but I will contact my publisher and find out for you. I'll come back to you as soon as I can. The one releasing this week will be the US version, and the UK one is at the end of the month. I wasn't aware there was an abridged version so I will ask that question.
Best wishes
Sarah
FURTHER INFORMATION: Scott, according to my publisher when the book is put up on Audible for pre-order, they include an estimated run time based on previous books (because usually at that stage the book hasn't been recorded). So 16hrs is only estimated. It shouldl be updated on, or close to, publication day, so will most likely show the same timing for both books eventually. But I confirm that there is only one edition, used by both UK and US editions. I hope that helps. Sarah

Just finished reading Christmas Sisters. Ever thought of doing a follow up to the story 10 years later? Sisters get together, and we find out how did life work out for them after decisions were made at the end of the book?
Sarah Morgan Hi Christine, so pleased you enjoyed it! I don't have plans to write a follow up at the moment, but I never say never! Happy holidays to you and yours

Hi Sarah, I really love your books! Now that you've started to follow a pattern of releasing one summer book and one Christmas book each year, I'm curious about whether you're lucky enough to write them during the correct seasons, or whether you've ever had to get Christmassy during the summer?
Sarah Morgan I'm so happy you love my books! You're right that at the moment I'm writing two a year and your question is a good one! The answer is that the summer one does tend to get written in a window of Spring/Summer. I write my winter book in the winter, but it carries on well after Christmas which can be a challenge in the cold days of February! I stay in a Christmas mood by using fairy lights and playing music! Hope that answers your question. Thank you for reading
Love Sarah

After reading your Manhattan series, I noticed that each of your main love interests (Jake, Matt, Lucas, Seth, etc...) have extremely successful careers. Building their own companies, famous author, veterinarian, etc... Even the main females are successful in that way... have you written any stories where the main characters have more modest professions? This is NOT a complaint, I love that series, just curious! :)
Sarah Morgan Hi Erika, I'm so happy you're enjoying the series. I've written just about every profession possible in my 85 books :) One of the heroes in my current book is a carpenter, and another is a therapist. The heroine of my current release How To Keep A Secret is a stay at home mum, although towards the end of the book she does start to follow her passion - and that is the key. All my characters (male and female) are following their passions. For example, Frankie in Sunset in Central Park is a gardener. She's good at it, partly because she loves it. Eva is a cook - again, it's what she loves. I think if there is a pattern at all, it's that I like my characters to be doing something that interests them. Generally if you do something you love, you are good at it. Hope this helps xxxx

I just started reading some of your books. I've read your O'Neil Brothers and Puffin Island series. I love series books, I always want to know what to know what happens next to the couples. Are you going to have any additional books in either series?
Sarah Morgan Hi Kathleen, so happy you're enjoying my books! At the moment I have no plans to extend either series but there are brief 'returns' to both Snow Crystal and Puffin Island in my Manhattan series. Sunset in Central Park has a return to Puffin Island, with a brief glimpse of characters from that series, and Moonlight over Manhattan has a trip back to Snow Crystal. If you'd like another snapshot, you might enjoy those books (they are book 2 and book 6 of my Manhattan series). xxx

Where is the chocolate chip cookie recipe from Moonlight Over Manhattan? Really enjoyed reading this romance.
Sarah Morgan Hi Sheila, there were discussions with my publisher about producing it in some form (recipe card, or in the back of the book) but I haven't been given information on it lately. If they don't plan to use it, I may put it on my website.
So pleased you enjoyed the book!
Love Sarah

Hi, Sarah I just finished Moonlight over Manhattan and its now one of my favorite books. I was wondering if Susan is going to get her own story in the future?
Sarah Morgan Hi Annelisa, so pleased you enjoyed it! I have no plans to write Susan's story in the short term (but rest assured she has a great friend in Harriet!) but it's possible I might in the future. My best suggestion is to sign up to my newsletter, which you can do via my website because that's the best way to be kept informed of new releases.

I'm an aspiring writer, but I'm dealing with two things: I get discouraged every single day because 96% of manuscripts are rejected, and I haven't had an idea for years, literally. There's too many people wanting to be writers, and knowing there's so much competition just kills me a little every day. When I get motivated, immediatly something appears about the industry that kills it. Any tips on how to deal with this?
Sarah Morgan Hi Cintia, I think the most important thing about being a writer is that you should enjoy the writing itself. I think if you're writing with the sole aim of writing a bestseller etc, then it is far easier to be discouraged because being published/good sales/bestseller lists etc are never guaranteed. It is important to write what you enjoy writing, If you love it, then the chances are that other people will too. I wrote as a hobby long before I was published, and did it because I loved it. If I ceased to be published tomorrow I would still write. So I think it's important to write something you love. If you find yourself demotivated by things you see in the industry, then try and pay less attention. For example if going on Twitter discourages you, then limit your time on Twitter. And don't forget that many people post their successes, but not the struggle it took to get there. Writing is a brilliant job, but it's hard work and it is never easy. Good luck! Sarah.
