Q&A with Catherine Delors: For the King

Thursday, July 8th, 2010 | Catherine Delors, Guest Posts | No Comments

The lovely and knowledgeable Catherine Delors has written two novels that bring post-Revolutionary Paris to vivid life. First there was Mistress of the Revolution, and now we are lucky enough to have a chance to read Catherine’s latest novel, For the King, launched today in bookstores across the country.

Catherine has been kind enough to answer some questions for us about her novel and her process in writing it…

1. Catherine, thank you so much for being here today. Your first novel, Mistress of the Revolution, was set a few years before the events of your latest book, For the King. Is there any one thing that draws you back to this period of time again and again?

Here at last is the fabulous guest post I have been waiting for…a few words from C.W. Gortner on Catherine de Medici and her long time rival for her husband’s affections, the beautiful Diane de Poitiers.

A Notorious Threesome: Catherine de Medici, Diane de Poitiers and Henri III

The ménage-a-trois between Catherine de Medici, her husband Henri II of France, and his mistress Diane de Poitiers is notorious. It played out in full view of the court and was used to blacken Catherine’s name.

Gortner’s new book, THE CONFESSIONS OF CATHERINE DE MEDICI is coming out May 25. Not only will my copy be here next week, but Mr. Gortner has agreed to do a guest post here on my humble site. I am thrilled…I am not sure cyberspace can communicate my joy and pleasure, but trust me, I am grinning.
