C. W. Gortner to Appear on My Blog

Monday, July 27th, 2009 | Uncategorized

I have exciting news for all the historical fiction fans who may be tuning into my blog…C.W. Gortner, the author of The Last Queen about Juana of Castile, is going to do a guest blog here in the summer of 2010! Yes, I know…that’s a year from now. But I am excited, so I had to mention it anyway. I will be mentioning it off and on between now and next summer, so brace yourselves. And if you have not read his book yet, I highly recommend it. Juana of Castile, known in Spain as Juana la Loca, is a fascinating woman who lived a truly wild life. She was the daughter of Isabella of Castile, the same woman who sent Columbus on his voyage to the New World. Juana has her mother’s strength and fire, if not her political backing. An amazing woman, and an amazing book.

As a side note, I will also be doing a guest blog on C.W. Gortner’s website in April. I will mention more about that as the time draws nigh.

For those of you who want to have a look at Mr. Gortner’s site, here is the link:
