After finishing my crime story 'Death on Turtle Island'- it's back to the 17th century.

I started a new book, not really a sequel of the French Orphan, but we'll meet the major protagonists once again.

François de Toucy, Pierre and Armand are bound to England and end up in the complications of the English Civil War - trying to save the queen of England. Not an easy task at all as they have to deal with queen who doesn't want to be saved....

The French Orphan

The Secrets of Montrésor

Under The Spell of The Serenissima

Recently I started a book on Queen Henrietta Maria (the Queen consort of King Charles II) and the more I advanced in my research.... the more I disliked her! Tough like a mule, stubborn, prejudiced and a religious fundamentalist of the worst sort.... a nightmare.

Now, a disciplined writer with a fat contract from an established publishing house would just have toiled on, but as an indie author I have my freedom!!!!

I stopped for almost half a year, then suddenly a new character came to my mind, Her Majesty's maid of honour.... and here we go.

Now busily typing :)

hoping to published by the end of the year

progressing fast, but as the speed of the story is picking up, complications increase and I need to be careful....

I like my new protagonists, still working on the title but probably it's going to be :

'A Maid of Honour'
