I just came across a
nice article that appeared in
Mystery Scene Magazine last summer. Not too much new information, except that it shares a little about Mary Stewart's reaction to getting an honorary degree from her alma mater, Durham University:
In a letter to me that same year, Lady Mary Stewart said of the
experience, “It was indeed wonderful to be remembered—and in such a
way—by my old University.”
And apparently the author of the article asked her if she would write another book:
“No new book! I know better than to try at (nearly) 93!” she wrote me in 2009.

Thank you for finding this article and sharing. I love this quote "The place for truth is not in the facts of a novel; it is in the feelings," which I think applies to many aspects of life.
Thank you for sharing the article! I look forward to reading more of Mary Stewart's romantic suspense novels. I love they are all set in different but equally charming locations, like the article mentioned:
Each locale—Provence, Corfu, the Middle East, Crete, Vienna, the Pyrenees, Austria, England, and others—is integral to the story and described in enough detail to immerse readers without overwhelming the action—a pitfall for many writers.
I have always adored this author and cherish my high school years when I discovered the work of Mary Stewart.
