Pierre Hugon was simply an interesting footnote, until I discovered his role in stealing Queen Annaβs jewels and links to the Marquess of Buckingham. THAT inspired my new novel, The Queenβs Tears. More, and an excerpt. #HistoricalFiction #Stuarts

Thanks Rod! It may be harder to sell books, but the joy of being part of this amazing community of authors and readers far outweighs the lost revenue. Let's all keep talking and connecting and sharing stories!

ππA stolen crown jewel. An enigmatic portrait. And the cost of love across the centuries.ππ

I know the feeling, Peggy. Writing about our ancestors is an extraordinary journey - and privilege.

A fascinating Coffee Pot Book Club feature on my website today. We rarely get to read novels about New France, and this one's beautifully researched and written.
