I was so happy to find my novel available for Pre-Sales on Amazon. Though the cover art is not up yet, it is still exciting to see my book out in the world…one step closer to seeing it in print…

 

Here once more is a description of my novel and the link to find it on Amazon. I am working on getting a grass roots movement going…the more pre-sales, the better. So if my ladies interest you, hit that link.

 

 

The Queen’s Pawn by Christy English

Princess Alais of France travels to England to marry Richard the Lionhearted, the son of King Henry II, armed only with her dowry, the valuable Vexin. When Alais arrives in the land of her father’s enemies, she is welcomed by the beautiful and powerful queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine. Eleanor, the richest and most influential woman in Europe, sees a kindred soul in the young French princess. Intrigued by the girl’s strength and fire, Eleanor adopts Alais as her protégée, teaching the girl what it takes to be a woman of power in a world of men. But Eleanor and Alais’ love for each other is threatened when the capricious and imperious King Henry meets the lovely young princess. Fascination with the king draws Alais deep into political intrigue, and she soon discovers what Eleanor is prepared to do to retain her position as queen. Alais, the one-time pawn, takes ruthless action of her own, as the two women become rivals both for the king’s love and the throne of England itself.
