Laura Lee Guhrke spent seven years in advertising, had a successful catering business, and managed a construction company before she decided writing books was more fun.
From the publication of her very first historical romance, Laura has received numerous honors and critical acclaim for her novels and her writing style. Her books have been seen on both the USA Today and New York Time Bestseller Lists. In addition, Laura has been honored with the most prestigious award of romance fiction, the Romance Writers of America RITA Award, and she has been a RITA finalist five times. Among her publishing credits are seventeen historical romances, including her latest for Avon Books, Wedding of the Season and Scandal of the Year, available in January and February respectively. Laura is currently hard at work on her eighteenth historical romance, but when she’s not tapping away at her keyboard, Laura can be found skiing the slopes, wakeboarding across the lakes, and fly fishing the streams of her beautiful home state of Idaho.

When is your next book coming out? |

I have two books coming out very soon. On December 28, Avon will release Wedding of the Season, the first book in my new Abandoned at the Altar series. And one month later, on January 25, the second book, Scandal of the Year, will come out. As always, you can check my Coming Soon page for more details. Or better yet, subscribe to my newsletter. That way, you’ll always know the latest news.

Will you ever write more Girl-Bachelor books? |

|
I want to! I’m toying with ideas right now, but it might be a couple years before another one comes out. In the meantime, readers who liked the Girl-Bachelors of Little Russell Street will be happy to know that the Abandoned at the Altar Series is a spin-off of the Girl-Bachelor Chronicles. In Wedding of the Season, fans who loved Harry and Emma from And Then He Kissed Her will get to see Harry’s beachside villa in Torquay, and have a peek at what’s happening with Harry and Emma after ten years of marriage. In Scandal of the Year, readers will get to revisit Maria and Phillip from Secret Desires of a Gentleman. And in the third book of the new series, readers will get a peek at other Girl-Bachelors, too.

You seem to love the Edwardian era. Any plans to push on to the Roaring 20’s? |

|
Not yet, but you never know. I’d love to write the 20’s. We’ll see. In the meantime, I want to do a hero or heroine with a plane. I’ve always wanted to write the whole, “Come Josephine in my flying machine…” thing. |

What are you reading these days? |

|
I just finished Lisa Kleypas’ Blue-Eyed Devil. Yes, I am that far behind on my To-Be-Read pile. Seriously, I am years behind on must-read books. Don’t believe me? Well, I’m just about to read all the Harry Potter books. See? I told you I was behind! The Harry Potter books have been on my list of Must-Reads for years, but I’ve never managed to read them, and with each new one that came out, the idea of starting at the beginning seemed more and more daunting. But I recently went to the new Harry Potter Park in Orlando, and I came home filled with new determination, so I ordered all the books and I’m reading them all. In order! |
