Hi Toni,
Thank you for your question and good wishes for Deb. Deb is currently working on Book #5 in the All Souls Series. It will be a similar book to Time's Convert in that it will look back in a prequel kind of way and also move the characters (from the All Souls World) forward in a sequel kind of way. Deb refers to it as a prequelly/sequelly book. Deb has talked about this book and other possible books on her past 2 Facebook Lives. You can find the videos for them on her author page on Facebook under the video tab.

I'm not able to tell you that yet.
Deborah Harkness
yes, but he hasn't given me permission to divulge their identities yet. :)
Deborah Harkness
Good question! More than you've met so far...
Deborah Harkness
my life wouldn't be possible without libraries and librarians. Period.
Deborah Harkness
The third volume of the trilogy was intentionally faster paced than the others.
Deborah Harkness
Yes. Diana's best friend, Chris Roberts, is African American, for example. Amira is Indian, from the southern part of India specifically.

Probably because a lot of writers spent time at Oxford and believe (quite rightly in my opinion!) that Oxford is the most magical place on earth.
Deborah Harkness
yes. When I found a "lost" magical book that once belonged to John Dee in Oxford's Bodleian Library! I shivered because I thought I was dreaming!
Deborah Harkness
Yes I have spent LOTS of time in the Bodleian, doing research for my dissertation as well as my first and second non-fiction books.
Deborah Harkness
I lived in Oxford from 1991 to 1994, with a few breaks here and there. It is the most magical place on earth, in my opinion, so of course it was the setting I chose for the first book.
Deborah Harkness
great question! I look for mysterious characters--characters from the past that historians have lots of questions about for which the historical record doesn't provide answers. Then I make up the answers! :)
Deborah Harkness
there are many, many messages. One of them is how important it is to have a supportive family!
Deborah Harkness
bizzarely, my favorite place to write is in a hotel. I unplug the clock, put up a do not disturb sign, and close the drapes. Then I am totally unaware of whether it is night or day and can just write until I need tea or food!
Deborah Harkness
London in 1590. But you knew that already!
Deborah Harkness
write every day.
Deborah Harkness
My favorite female character is Miriam. And no, I have never ridden side-saddle. It terrifies me!
Deborah Harkness
great question! Each one is based on a book written during the period that I study as a scholar.
Deborah Harkness
I don't believe Newton wasted his time with alchemy. I don't think he would have come up with his theory of gravity without it!
