Welcome, Deb Werksman and thank you for joining us today to chat about romance, mystery, and historical fiction novelist Georgette Heyer during our month-long celebration of her work here at Austenprose. As an acquiring editor of Sourcebooks Casablanca, you have become Heyer’s strongest advocate by re-issuing her novels originally published between Why did you choose Heyer and was it a challenge to bring her to a new market?
Our publisher brought Heyer to my attention shortly after we started our romance line and we saw that her books were out of print in the US. She&#;s such an amazing writer, and so many readers, booksellers, and librarians were raving about her work and lamenting the difficulty of getting her books, that we decided we would publish her entire body of work if we could. We went to her agent in the UK and have been publishing the books as they become available for the US market. She&#;s so well-known here already that it wasn&#;t really a new market. The bigg

As a long time fan of Georgette Heyer, and a collector of various editions of her books, it was great to see that US publishers Sourcebooks Casablanca are issuing reprints of GH&#;s titles in paperback (see above). The UK Arrow reprints have been around for some time now and, sad person that I am, I&#;ve bought most of them even though I can&#;t bring myself to throw out my battered, falling-to-bits Pan paperbacks and hardback versions! 95p for a paperback and 3s and 6d for a hardback &#; ah, those were the days!
