'...I know, dear Virginia. Isn't this so surprising? #TheLastPrincess is everything you never knew about the slaughter-stained year of 1066. From the ashes of her father's cursed kingdom, #GythaGodwinson creates her own empire. A woman to your heart.' amzn.eu/d/bjvmJrA

I never thought I'd ever be mature enough to judge a #literary award, but am beyond delighted to be a judge in choosing this year's best #historicalfiction novels for the Historia – the HWA #GoldCrowns. My table groans in anticipation of the incoming TBR stack - CAN'T WAIT!

Four years ago, Honey gave birth on a velvet sofa to the sounds of Vivaldi's Spring to lucky 7 puppies! For the next weeks, these adorable little whipper snappers kept us beyond busy. Happy birthday to Sunny, Iggy, Lucky, Karma, Quirky, Murphette & Pushy... Photo@SarahRossigneux

Who forgets a first love, ever? In #tallinn, I meet up with my beloved heroine of #Tsarina_novel, who rose from serf to first Empress of Russia. One reviewer once commented on "the author's ridiculous obsession with her subject". That poor sod obviously has never lived passion.
