The Demon's Mistress
“Sometimes stories come to me with dramatic opening scenes, and this is one. I had no idea why this disheveled, gorgeous young man wanted to kill himself, and no idea why an elegant lady was determined to stop him, but I needed to know. In such situations, the only way to find out is to write on, and so I did.
At that point I didn’t know there was a connection to two stories in my Company of Rogues series, but so it turned out, beautifully, from my point of view.
The three stories togeth...er are a trilogy that I refer to as “three guys called George.” There was a king of England called George continuously from 1715 to 1820 and as a result, a lot of baby boys were christened George, so I decided to play with that.
Three baby boys were born at about the same time, in and around the same village, all three patriotically named George. As they grew up, becoming close friends, they needed distinguishing names—hence Van, Con, and Hawk, from other parts of their names.MoreLess
