Announcing the Notorious Royal Marriages Event at the Historical Fiction Round Table!



I am so excited to announce our Kick Off Event at the Historical Fiction Round Table for the release of Leslie Carroll's new book, Notorious Royal Marriages!
ABOUT THE BOOK:  A funny, raucous, and delightfully dirty 900-year history of the royal marriages of Europe's most famous-and infamous-monarchs.

Since time immemorial, royal marriages have had little to do with love- and almost everything to do with diplomacy and dynasty. Clashing personalities have joined in unholy matrimony to form such infamous couples as Russia's Peter II and Catherine the Great, and France's Henri II and Catherine de Medici-all with the purpose of begetting a male heir. But with tensions high and silverware flying, kings like England's Henry II have fled to the beds of their nubile mistresses, while queens such as Eleanor of Aquitaine have plotted their revenge...

Full of the juicy gossip and bad behavior that characterized Royal Affairs, this book chronicles the love-hate marriages of the crowned heads of Europe-from the Angevins to Charles and Di-and ponders how dynasties ever survived at all.

Event Schedule:

Thursday- January 7th

Monday- January 11th

    And, I just confirmed with my publicist, there will be book giveaways on the blogs as well.

    Ladies, if you have any questions for me during the week about your favorite royal couples, feel free to ask away!
