England

Stayed 2 days in merry old England, a pleasure to talk with people, go to the pub and have some great food (yes, it does exist in England).

History is part of everyday life everywhere. I stayed in the heart of the country, here where the Plantagenets and Tudors fought their last battles, where kings and queens used to visit their castles and the grand peers of their realm.

It's hard to come back to today's reality, maybe I should write another historical novel...I'm tempted

Thanks for the great review on Amazon!

This is a novel of the highest calibre. It has a great plot, full of political scheming and a great adventure.

It has rich description and interesting characters of great depth.

The story is truly absorbing and I have now started the second one. This would make a marvellous film.

Anyone who enjoys a good historical novel will I am sure enjoy this. I highly recommend this.

Back to the 17th century

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....

Strange things happen

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

The next book

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'

cheers

FREE BOOK TODAY

with a little help of my friends....

the famous lyrics written by the Beatles - I could use some as well.

As an indie author I'm living on the power of reviews and whereas I can see that thousands of books have been downloaded and read (including the sequels) - some more ( preferably not too bad) Amazon reviews would be a great help to promote my books.

Enjoy today's free book - and if you have some time to spare, give me a hand by sending a review to Amazon. com

Cheers!
