Fascinating plot.Thanks for sharing- I have a young friend who could use a book like this! Here on the A to Z hop. I look forward to more letters!
Sounds like a fascinating book. I love the premise! Wish I’d have thought of it.
I love historical books; although I know that they’re not always accurate, I read them more for the storytelling and not for the history lesson. But I do keep my computer handy and will look up facts, because it’s all very interesting to me. I did this when I was watching the first season of Tudors. I loved what they got right and was curious about the creative changes they made.
I also think these books do a good job of making younger people interested in our history.
Thanks for the blurb.
Thanks so much for dropping by, ladies! I hope you’ll visit again throughout the month.
Kimberly, I’m glad you liked the blurb and hope that the younger folk like my writing.
Thanks, Cheryl. Should you get a copy of my book, I hope you enjoy it.
Hi Bethany. I’m intrigued by your comment. I hope your young friend is able to read my book. I think she would enjoy it… but then I’m biased… 🙂
Thanks Mary.
