Looking ahead to 2020
2020 . . . Is anyone else as gobsmacked over those numbers as I am?
I’ve had several lovely people ask me about upcoming projects. While you all know how mum I like to be about what I’m working on, let’s just say that 2020 will be the Year of Romance where the de Piagets and MacLeods are concerned. Drafty castles, chivalrous knights, feisty ladies fair. We might even have a ghost or three show up along with maps boasting unusual markings. You all know how that goes . . . :)
For those who love the 9Kingdoms as much as I do, keep the faith. We’re definitely not finished there!
Much, much more to come!
Anne says:
Really miss the romance novels. The kingdoms series is okay but love the de Piaget’s and MacLeods. I love how you bring them to life. 😊
Angela Smith says:
I agree. I have been waiting for a long time for a new de Piagets and MacLeods story.
Tabitha says:
I’m exactly the opposite. I happened to stumble upon the 1st 9 kingdoms book and fell in love with her writing. Strong and stubborn heroines with so much adventure in them. Completely fall in love with the characters and Morgan will always be my favorite. I dislike most romances but recently I’ve bring buying every one of her books I come across. Can’t wait to read the next one!
Hillary says:
Yes! It’s been way too long for the romance novels. Waaaaaay to long :)
LynnK says:
Haha, indeed it has! :)
Lyn Brown says:
Aaahhh! I have reread all the Macleod and de Piaget books through for the “umpteenth” time! Quarantine is making me insane. Please give us another one, in the interest of my sanity and health!
DEBI GIBBONS says:
Agreed, looking all over internet for stories like these but few compare
Hillary says:
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cindy Giles says:
Yes I have every single one and was wondering if you would continue as there’s names with no story yet lol
LynnK says:
Cindy, yes! Always more to come. <3 -- Lynn
Victoria Kreh says:
Yeah I totally agree. I have all the other romantic ones, but the kingdoms I cannot get into. I missed the others so much. I reread them all again and again.
Vicki Shanoss says:
Me also, I reread all of mine all the time.
I wish she’d bring back both families, so we can see how everyone is doing.
I miss them so much
Ruth Edgar says:
I love them all but I think John dePiget is my favorite. Nicholas did say that John would have a son just like him….
LynnK says:
I have to admit I’m very fond of him myself. Such dry humor . . . <3
Theresa says:
Can’t wait for the next book! Miss the MacLeod/de Piaget books so much. Reread all sooo many times. How do we find out about release dates?
LynnK says:
Thank you, Theresa. <3 :) RE release dates, I'll definitely give plenty of notice here on my main page. My plan is to get back to regular release months, so I'll announce that too when I get that set.
Sharon Benson says:
My favorites are Patrick McLeod and Nickolas and I also love the characters of the 9 Kingdoms. I’ve also been re- reading them- no guilt as a Christian reading those and so much romance. No one else writes like Lynn.
Kathryn A Miles says:
Hope they’ll be here soon! Really miss these two families!
LynnK says:
I’m with you on both points!
Linda M Pickering says:
Thank you, Thank you! I have been longing for updates and new adventures for the MacLeods and dePiagets.
Hope your holidays are wonderful and that 2020 will come in with you full of vim, vigor and creativity. Be blessed!
Jan Fernandez says:
I love your books! Is there somewhere where I can get the family trees for MacLeods and de Piagets? I know that there are some at the ends of books, but I read all of your books on my Kindle, so I cannot see those family trees. Help!

LynnK says:
Now, that’s gorgeous!<3
Grayson says:
Thank you for finishing Acair’s story–it was a wonderful ending! Is there any chance we might find out what ever happened to Prince Sosar after he lost his magic? Or find out why King Sile made Miach and Mhorgain heirs to the throne of Tor Dorainn after Laidar??
Connie Fields says:
Hurray, you and your wonderful writing have been missed during the last couple of years. I look forward to seeing what 2020 brings. Take care and know you are appreciated.
Cindy Graff says:
I am so excited to hear that you will be bringing us another book (or dare I hope books?) about the de Piagets and/or MacLeods in 2020! It has been a looong drought, and I have re-read all of the others again recently. I have been afraid that we would not see any more. Thanks for letting us know that our VERY FAVORITE author will be publishing new works for us soon!!!!!!!!
Wishing you a very happy, healthy, and good New Year,
Gratefully,
Cindy
Cathy Nagurney says:
I am so happy right now! You have just made my new year! I love all your books and have all my copies. I can hardly wait for the next adventure with these families and their nocturnal relatives. Thank-you Cathy
Shyra says:
Yay! ☺️❣️
Mary Louise A Van Dyke says:
Can you see my happy dance! Hurrah for more about the de Piagets and MacLeods in 2020!
Happy New Year and may your keyboard be ever busy! Ok — let me amend that — may your keyboard be ever busy during certain hours of the day (or night) with plenty of rest and happy activities between!
Janice Hickman says:
I love reading the de Piagets and Macleod’s and have read every book you wrote on them more than once. Can’t wait for new ones. Its been quite awhile. Unfortunately I just could not get into the Nine Kingdom books.
Debby Connelly says:
Hi Lynn! Thanks for letting us know that we can be excited in 2020 and looking forward to a dePiaget or Macleod novel 😊 Wishing you a very wonderful 2020!
Anne says:
Wonderful — on all fronts.
de Piagets, MacLeods, and more to come in the 9Kingdoms. Thank you!
Wishing you and yours happy holidays and a wonderful year to come.
Best, Anne
Jo Pace says:
Lynn, Oh dear lord Thank You! May God give you all you need to complete everything you want to do. Know we love you and are eagerly anticipating 2020 and what it brings!
Julie says:
All I can say is THANK YOU! I love the Nine Kingdoms, Miach and Morgan are two of my favorite all time characters. I also love the dePiagets and the MacLeods. Rhys and Gwen are two more of my favorites. It’s wonderful knowing more is to come in all of those series.
Sharon Boyer says:
So excited for all your new stories!!! Can’t wait!!
Rita Book says:
So excited!! Can’t wait to hopefully see many beloved former characters showing up for cameos in new books. ((hugs))
Karen Day says:
Hallelujah!! Wonderful news! I’m recovering from rotator cuff surgery with that dang immobilization sling. Guess what’s keeping me going……rereads of the dePiagets and MacLeods!! Your stories always make me laugh and smile and just knowing more stories about those families are coming has made 2020 get off to a marvelous start! Thank you for sharing your talents!! I hope 2020 is nothing but happiness for you!!
Jennifer Smaltz says:
I am very Happy to hear about more books for the deLivers and MacLeods. I have read all of them 5 or 6 times cover to cover and usually find something I missed before. I can’t wait for some new stories, I would love to see a deLivery family reunion.
Shanna says:
Thank you so much Lynn for the latest 9 Kingdoms book!!! I just got it and cannot wait to read it. Please keep writing more 9 Kingdoms books. There are so many characters that need their stories told and we all need to read. This is my favorite book series ever! 😁
Betsy Sundquist says:
I’m so glad there will be another book about the dePiagets and MacLeods. I have all the books, some even twice because I got them on my kindle as well. I was really getting worried that I weren’t writing them anymore.
I hope this new year is a blessed one for you, you bring Joy to those who read your books , God has blessed you with a wonderful talent:)
Linda Howell says:
I’m three-quarters of the way through Prince of souls and I love it. I finally managed to get my Christmas decorations put away but only because I felt guilty reading instead of doing anything around the house for the last few weeks. I mean, really, I had to re-read the first two books with Acair and Leirsinn just so I could remember how they met! And now you tell us that we can look forward to more McLeod and dePiaget romances!!! I’m so excited! Hoping 2020 will bring you health and happiness and lots of ideas for new stories with our favorite people!
Sue Hebert says:
In anticipation for your upcoming book with dePaiget or McLeod, I have just reread the series. Love them!
Mary Jones says:
I am So excited!!! I love the de Piaget’s and MacLeods.
HAPPY, HAPPY,HAPPY!!!!
Kelly Champion says:
Love the de Piagets and MacLeods but also the Nine Kingdoms. A lovely book was “The Prince of Souls”
Robin Flatt-Homa says:
Oh my gosh, FINALLY!!!!!! I can’t tell you how much I’ve been suffering withdrawls from the MacLeods and de Piagets romances!!!
Roxy says:
Really looking forward to the de Piagets and MacLeods…how much longer………………………..???? lol
Cathy Skelding says:
This makes me so happy to hear!!! I don’t care which series it is, I love them both; guess it’s just your awesome style of writing. Have read other medieval time travel stories and they just don’t measure up! I, for one, would really like to know what happened to Phillip or maybe I need to go back and re-read the book about that girl on the train; seems like she ended up with Phillip, but you never hear her mentioned when they talk about all their paranormal relatives! And maybe you could do some updates on all the babies all the coupes have had, maybe, say, a family reunion book??? It doesn’t really matter, like all of your fans, we just can;t wait for your next new book!!! Prayers and blessings for your year!!!!
Patty says:
Looking forward to a de Piaget and/or MacLeod book. Hoping it might be Rose’s story. However, I will be very happy to read any new one. Thanks!!!
LynnK says:
Hang on for Rose . . . she’s in the wings as we speak. <3

Hang on for Rose . . . she’s in the wings as we speak. <3
I am so glad to hear from you, to think that you're okay. Stay Safe and well!
What better time to take a little Time Travel than now??? lol
LynnK says:
Absolutely re the time traveling!
Theresa Brumley says:
Love the De Piagets and MacLeods as much as anyone else and can’t wait to hear from them.
Diana Sprain says:
Yes, so happy to hear that. I would like our medieval family to occasionally find love within their own time, though. Yay to the MacLeods and De Piagets!
Belinda Vanhoy says:
I am so HAPPY to hear that you are writing about my two favorite families I was really hoping for news can’t wait until I can get my hands on t bgg e new books
Dawn Vanhoy says:
I can’t wait I read and reread all her time travel romances I Love her Mccloud and DE Piaget families can’t wait to see more of them.
Deborah says:
Oh my goodness. Just when I thought I would have to read them all again. For the third time. Yeahhhhhh. Can’t wait
Cecilia A. Casey (Cece) says:
I love the time travel stories! Those dashing knights and how they find their true loves via time travel…sigh
Pamela Pruitt says:
Absolutely delighted.to read that there is more to come for the MacLeod’s and the de Piaget’s!
Denise says:
I love them all!! Currently rereading the 9-Kingdoms in prep for reading Acair’s story that I just purchased (it’s release sneaked by me).
Thank you for all that you write. I always have something good to read when I have your books on my phone.
LynnK says:
<3 Thank you Denise!
Marianne says:
I’m very happy to hear that we’ll be hearing more of the dePiagets & MacLeod’s. Your books are special in that not only do they have lovely romances, but they always make me laugh as well. Your heroes and heroines are memorable. Thanks for always writing books that I have great difficulty putting down.
LynnK says:
Thank you, Marianne. <3
Janice Thompson says:
Can’t wait for a new book! When will it be out?
LynnK says:
In the works . . . :)
Amy Greeson says:
I love the Kingdom series as much as I love your other romances! The stories of the Kingdom are so in-depth and I love the world you have made!
However, I am looking forward to some more of your more traditional romances and can’t wait to see what comes next for them as well! Thank you for all your stories.
LynnK says:
Amy, thank you! And don’t worry, definitely more romances to come. (And more Nine Kingdoms when I can!)
Elaine says:
While I love the MacLeod/De Piaget books (having re-read them multiple times), and am looking forward to more, I’m always a little sad when those who have come forward to live in the future leaves those in the past behind, and vice-versa. It breaks my heart a little each time :-( I know it’s weird but I can’t help it!!!!!
LynnK says:
Elaine, I am 100% with you there. It gives me an entirely new perspective on how difficult it must have been 200 years ago to move far away from family. I like to think that at some point, everyone will get together in a single place and live in bliss. <3
Annmarie says:
So glad to hear that another MacLeod or de Piaget book is coming up! I have read them all twice and now my 21 year old daughter has started enjoying the series!
LynnK says:
<3 Thank you!
Tracey says:
I’ve been waiting and waiting for the new romance to come out. But, I’ve seen nothing. I thought it came out in May.
LynnK says:
2020. (Can we just use that for everything for a bit?) Best laid plans and all . . . I’m posting more about it today. Hang in there and thanks for waiting!
Debbie D says:
I’m so excited that another one (hopefully more) will be coming soon about the dePiaget’s and MacLeod’s. You are, by far, my favorite author, although I could never get into the Nine Kingdom series. Best wishes and happy writing!
LynnK says:
<3<3<3 Yes, more romances to come . . !
Harleen Peterson says:
love all your romance series, not so much the 9 Kingdoms
LynnK says:
Happy you like the romances! <3
Denise Mobley says:
I’m starting my second read/listen through if the Nine Kingdoms books since February, then I’ll start the McCloud/dePiaget from the beginning. I’m so thankful there are a few authors like Lynn whose books I can read back to back and still not get tired of them. Thank you for the hours of reading over the years!!!
LynnK says:
<3
Hill ARy says:
Still waiting :(
LynnK says:
Keep the faith! <3
IVA says:

LynnK says:
Soon . . . and love the cat tail visual. Isn’t that the truth!
Lynn Cooke says:

LynnK says:
Thank you! :)

Kate Soehnlen says:
I have heard that patience is a virtue. Sadly I am lacking in virtue, milady. Seriously – I’m very excited and hope that the insanity that is our world at present hasn’t slowed your works to come.
With warmest regards,
Kate Soehnlen <3
LynnK says:
<3 :)
Kate Soehnlen says:
I’ve reread all of the de Piaget and MacLeod books umpteen times and have loved them every time. They rank right up there with my Outlander books and that’s really saying something! :-)
I truly am looking forward to whichever family you choose to write about. Hopefully before the holidays. Life will be insane at our house then because our first grandbaby, a wee lassie, is due a week before Christmas! So very excited!!
LynnK says:
Congratulations in advance on the coming grand baby! <3 And yes, fingers crossed for another delivery before Christmas... :)
Elaine says:
I’ll be very happy when a new de Piaget and Macleod book come out. Have you thought about a Netflix series for those lovely characters to really bring them to life?
Kate Lewis says:
I am so excited to hear about a new book in this series! I have read and reread all of them. I even had to purchase a new copy of a If I Had You because it actually fell apart from being read so many times. Thank you!!!
becky says:
any hints to the release date of the promised romances in 2020
Kate Lewis says:
Hi! Just checking in to see if there are any updates on the new book?!? I am really excited to read a new Macleod or de Piaget novel. 😊
LynnK says:
Hi Kate, yes! Fingers crossed for September! — Lynn
Jennifer Kinch says:
Hi Lynn!
I hope all is well with you. Are you able to give any updates on the new book?
Thank you!
LynnK says:
Hi Jennifer!
It is, thank you! (I emailed you, but sometimes they go awry, so this might be a duplicate.) Jackson & Olivia and I are nearing the home stretch, so I should have a better idea this week once I get with my amazing cover designer and typesetter. I’ll update when I have details!
:)
Lynn
Zulia Quintana says:
