NEW YORK (AP) — Author Julia Quinn was already making a nice living as a historical romance writer when Shonda Rhimes came calling in 2017 to adapt her “Bridgerton” book series for Netflix. Season one was a smash hit and season two, starring Jonathan Bailey, is now streaming. A limited series prequel is also in the works.

Quinn’s next book called “Miss Butterworth and the Mad Baron” comes out in May.
