A bit of a grab bag today:
Tracy Borman’s Elizabeth’s Women
I finished reading Elizabeth’s Women: Friends, Rivals, and Foes Who Shaped the Virgin Queen. If you’re interested in Elizabeth I or the Tudor period, definitely pick it up. It focuses on the women around Elizabeth, so even if you’ve read several books about Elizabeth herself, this one offers a new perspective. I learned more about Ann Boleyn and the other women in Elizabeth’s life than I have from other books.
Next up: Outwitting History: The Amazing Adventures of a Man Who Rescued a Million Yiddish Books by Aaron Lansky. This one looks like a fun read.
Rymellan
As I’ve said on the WIP page, my editor has the September story. I need some time with it when she’s done, to deal with her feedback and format it for the web. She plans to start it as soon as she’s finished with the fantasy, so I’m hoping to post it around mid-September.
Fantasy Novel
I spoke to my editor yesterday, and she may come back on the fantasy as early as next week, which would be great. She said she’s enjoying the novel, which I’ll take as a positive sign.
Patty Henderson and I spent most of last weekend working on the front cover. Patty has come up with a wonderful design. I hope to share it soon.
Enjoy your weekend!
