There are good things happening in 2012 and I am excited to share a few of the details with you. This September, NAL will be releasing my 13th novel, “I, Jane”, about the life of the third wife of Henry VIII, the mother of the infamous king’s only legitimate son, and a woman who was witness to quite a bit of drama before those tapestry covered walls. I can’t wait to hear what you think of my particular slant on her life at Court, as well as her life away from it. I found Jane’s world far more interesting and complicated than many historians have and I hope you will agree. I am also beginning a new novel which will be something of a sequel to one of my earlier Tudor novels. One of my characters had quite a lot more to say apparently than that first book could contain. As I get a bit further along with the details, I will be able to share just who that mystery character is and I hope you will be pleased! Finally, in between working on the new book and beginning a promotion plan for “I, Jane”, I am dusting off a finished manuscript that I wrote several years ago, and set a bit later than the Tudor Court, at the Court of King James. The time seems right at last to share this incredible true story, one packed full of controversy and intrigue. These characters really do leap out of the pages of history and I hope it’s their time to be heard! So, stay tuned and, in the meantime, I’m happy to share this link with you to a recent, very fun interview in the Pittsburgh Examiner full of very thought-provoking questions for any historical novel fan. 10 Questions with Historical Fiction Author Diane Haeger.
As always, I love hearing from you so keep those emails coming.
