You've got talent. Keep at it. ...Yes, keep writing! You've got talent. Keep at it. I want to read a Justin Aucoin bestseller one day!<BR/><BR/>And thanks so much for your kind words. Coming from you, a marvelous poet, and a male reader, it means a lot. I'm really happy you enjoyed it! I never know if it'll resonate with men, but I do try to make my books interesting to both sexes. You can't really separate these people from the politics of the time, which is what fascinates me.<BR/><BR/>I'm waiting with baited breath to hear from my publisher re: the revised Catherine de Medici manuscript. And I've handed in a proposal for the third book, which I'm bursting with excitement to talk about and can't, per agent embargo until it's sold. It feels nice to be so jazzed about a new project, particularly as rewriting Catherine nearly slayed me.C.W.

A good time to do more writing. :-D<BR/><BR/>I just finished "Last Queen." Absolutely loved it. Like a lot of readers, I knew nothing of Juana so this was my introduction to her. I think you did a terrific job rationalizing what others considered madness. I never realized how much intrigue and plotting went on during her time. The poor girl. She went through a ton to say the least. Who in the world wouldn't be a little on edge after such ordeals? You also have several lines and twisting of phrases that make me go "damn, that's so good I wish I thought of that." :-)<BR/><BR/>Again, congrats on the book. I hope its still fairing well. Can't wait for your next book!J.M.

I've been looking forward to reading your book for quite a while, and Julie's review just clinched it for me!<BR/><BR/>She also mentioned this blog, which I'm quite excited about. I'll be adding it to my Google Reader shortly!Heather J. @ TLC Book Tourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10474181812740579350noreply@blogger.com
