Olá, has ever crossed your mind to write a book set in portuguese backgrounds?
C.W. Gortner
Hi Marlene, I actually haven't thought of Portugal as a backdrop, though I know some of the history. Something to consider for the future?

I like your take on women. I think it must be hard to show the reality of the distant past to modern day women and men and get the readers to really understand all the dynamics. I first started reading romanticized historical fiction. After a while, I got bored with "hysterical" fiction. How did you take your love of history from dry tombs to lively, believable, historically accurate fiction to teach us?

I have just finished you book on Isabella of Castille - it was my first and i loved it! There is not much about certain countries histories - there is a lot about England, France, Italy perhaps, but then there are a few countries that seem forgotten, when it comes to writte about their historical figures. From your POV as a historical fiction writter, why do you think that happens?

Hello Mr, Gortner, A recommendation led me to your books. Your description of a Spanish woman is on point. Which book do I read first??? My ancestors immigrated to the mainland from Toledo, Spain. Raised Catholic, I learned my roots are from within the walls of La Juderia. Toledo, is worthy of story to be told, with its rich history.
