Eleanor of Aquitaine

Manuscript Back in My Hands

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010 | Cecelia Holland, Eleanor of Aquitaine, The Writing Life, To Be Queen | 4 Comments

I am so excited…TO BE QUEEN is back in my hands…this should be the last pass (only minor changes) before we lock it. This spring, Eleanor will live once again in my book, as she lives in all the others coming out this year.

I just finished CAPTIVE QUEEN…I read it in one day…swallowed it whole, really. What an amazing woman! Though this is a very different Eleanor from the woman I have come to know in my own work, I am thrilled to have been in the company of Alison Weir’s vision. And Cecelia Holland’s book, THE SECRET ELEANOR will arrive on Monday! I am surrounded by Eleanor, which means I am in heaven.

Cecelia Holland Coming Soon…
