Michael Stolle's Blog

its' been a long time since I wrote my first novel and when I did, I never thought that I'd find thousands of readers. Some full of warm praise (thank you!), many happy, some sneering - well, that's life.

Working on the German translation I rediscovered my book after a break of nine years and - I'm biased, I know - I still like the story and the characters, they aged well, better then I did in fact :)

But I decided to edit and polish the original text, I think I learnt a lot during the past years and as the French Orphan is still very popular, no reason, not to make it even better.

So, coming soon: the German and new English edition. Be curious !

a new book in the making... finally

it's a new adventure and this time we travel to the Germanic Empire as the Cardinal Mazarin has set his eyes on the vast fortune of the Saint Paul family.

Armand will have to grow up and cope on his own - but how to avoid the trap of love?

I was encouraged by many comments to go on writing and publishing. Your wish is my command :)

Thanks to all of you!

It's been some time since I wrote my last blog.

I was following the politics in the UK and USA and are fascinated that nothing seems to have changed since the era of Renaissance when Macchiavelli published his (in)famous guidelines how to manipulate people and countries.

The more things seem to change, the more they seem to remain the same...

Now I'm heading back the 17th century as new adventures are waiting to be told.

Merry Christmas and all the best for 2020!

PS: Let's hope that a country like Australia will understand that a heatwave 48°C could mean global warming does exist and should be tackled and will stop undermining the world climate conference, not even mentioning the USA and others here...

Sometimes reality can match even the most copious forms of fiction.

For anybody vividly interested in the history of England, the present protagonists of Brexit England are defying the prowess of imagination.

I find all I love in good historical fiction: Machiavellian deceit, revenge, action, arrogance of the ruling class and utter ignorance for the welfare of the country an unhinged elite is busiy plundering and sharing.

The proud royal house of England frozen by the shackels of an ageing constitution, demeaned to serving as junk food for tabloids and fashion journals.

The setting for an approaching drama is unfolding right under our eyes, waiting to be wittnessed and recorded by future historians , to be analysed and discussed for centuries to come.

interesting times indeed!

No 5 today in historical fiction

enjoy!

PS: thanks for the great reviews for my latest book
