Praise for THE QUEEN’S PAWN
“An astonishing debut! Christy English spins an unforgettable tale of dangerous splendor, evoking the stone and tapestry of the Plantagenet era, and the fierce rivalry of two equally fascinating and determined women, whose ambitions threaten to overturn their world.”
C.W. Gortner, author of THE CONFESSIONS OF CATHERINE DE MEDICI
‘THE QUEEN’S PAWN is a powerful portrait of two dynamic royal women and the men who controlled their lives- or is it the other way around? Treachery, betrayal, lust- and an unusual and compelling love story beautifully told.”
Karen Harper, author of THE IRISH PRINCESS
“Eleanor of Aquitaine loved one person more than power: her rival for the throne.”

DIAL “L” FOR LOSER
Kindle E Book
To Purchase DIAL “L” FOR LOSER
Between smooth-talking Actor Boy, prim and proper Lawyer Boy, and the illusive Dr. Perfect, Marty can’t catch a break. Will she have to give up on men for good?
In the romantic chick lit novel, DIAL “L” FOR LOSER by Christy English, Marty Angelo has had enough of the wrong men. Then she meets feckless but charming Ben, AKA Actor Boy, who sweeps her off her feet and makes her think that love may not be a four letter word.
But after a dating drought of six months, the gods of love have decreed that one new man is not enough. Enter Brad, AKA Lawyer Boy, the man hand-picked by Marty’s mother so that Marty will not have to go to her cousin’s wedding alone.
Just when the law starts to look better than it ever has, Marty meets Dr. Perfect whose eyes gleam with mischief and whose devilish smile promises more than she ever bargained for. Rich, gorgeous, buttoned up or buttoned down, none of these men seem like the Prince Charming of her dreams. Will Marty ever find love, or will she be destined to date losers for the rest of her life?
Praise for Dial “L” For Loser
“Who should read this book?
People studying for a huge test that need a break from study. People who have been reading so much historical fiction that they need something that will bring them back to today. People who always wanted to know what it is like to date 3 guys at one time. Ok, there are other people but you get the idea!
If I had a chuckle meter, it surely would have been in the red zone!” — HodgePodgeSPV
“A great chick-lit style, romantic read following in the tradition of one of my favorite books, `Bridget Jones’ Diary’. I recommend you buy a copy of `Dial’, grab a bottle of chilled white wine, or a box of chocolates, or a tub of ice-cream (or all three!), turn off your phone and TV, curl up on the sofa and enjoy the adventures of Marty and her friends in San Francisco. Through a series of hilarious, mixed-up incidents, Marty finds herself going rapidly from enforced celibacy to multi-dating in her search for a Mr Right, who will be more than just a `Mr Right Now’.
If you’re looking for a fun, highly enjoyable romantic comedy with a great feel-good ending, get this book. ” — The Happy Reader, Amazon.com
