The Rivers Woman

Post by Tanzanite » Fri December 18th, 2009, 6:22 pm

From Philippa's newsletter - looks like she's changed her mind on the focus of the third book:

I am some way into research for a new book on Jacquetta, Elizabeth Woodville’s mother. Whilst many of you (myself included) were expecting a book on Elizabeth of York called The White Princess to follow The Red Queen, gloriously, the research has taken me down a slightly altered path and so Jacquetta’s book, currently called The Rivers Woman, will be released in Autumn 2011.

I really don't think I can. I see LOTS of Melusine here.

Perhaps there is a Melusine antidote that we could slip into her food or drink??

First reaction: Oh gawd :(

Second reaction: At least there won't now be a whole book about RIII/Elizabeth of York incest! Which was what I was expecting from The White Princess.

LOL! You never know though, perhaps the RIII/Elizabeth of York thing is just on the back burner. If she keeps selling them, she'll keep writing them.

I won't be reading this one - I can't take anymore of the whole Melusine thing!!!!

That Gregory woman...
Still, her most interesting books (IMO) have been those that tell the stories from the perspective of the less-known characters (like Mary Boleyn). So I've got higher hopes for Red Queen.
