I am pleased as the proverbial punch to announce that a long-held dream has come true for me and I have signed a contract with Pen and Sword Books!
Pen and Sword have graciously agreed to publish my book, Life in the Georgian Court, a breathless romp through the world of Georgian nobility in the company of the crowned heads of Europe. Stops along the red carpet will include the opulent court of the doomed Bourbons, the absolutist powerhouse of Romanov Russia and the epoch-defining family whose kings gave their name to the Georgian era, the House of Hanover.
The book, released on 30th June 2016, will give an insight into the defining moments of European royal life in the long 18th century, from happy marriages to forced unions and scandals that rocked society, via kings who barely left a mark on the world they ruled and those who ended their days on the guillotine or even the toilet!
Once again, an enormous merci for your encouragement and support, I raise a glass to you all!
Edit: This is just an edit to say thank you to everyone for your lovely words and congratulations; I am overwhelmed!
