Hi, I'm Elizabeth Loupas
Hi, I'm Elizabeth Loupas
Ive posted here and there and Id like to introduce myself. Im a lifelong reader and lover of historical fiction, and Im gobbling up the posts here on the board and making many lists of new books to read.
My own debut historical novel has just been sold to Penguin/NAL. The working title is THE SEC0ND DUCHESS, its set in sixteenth-century Ferrara, and its a re-imagining and continuation of Robert Brownings poem My Last Duchess. Im now working on a new book set in the Scotland of Mary Queen of Scots personal reign, involving passion, murder, intrigue, some lost quatrains of Nostradamus, and a girl who can read the future in flowers.
And reading! Lots of reading. Im so pleased to have found this board.

- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

[quote=""MLE""]Welcome, Elizabeth. sixteenth century, and not Tudor-themed? Okay, I'll bite![/quote]
Hee! Definitely not Tudor. The closest it comes is a wedding gift of two hound puppies from Queen Elizabeth to Duke Alfonso and his new Duchess, Barbara of Austria, the narrator of the story.
Thanks so much for the welcomes!

Welcome, Elizabeth! I visited your site a while back, and thought your book looked marvelous; great news to hear Penguin/NAL bought it. I'm really looking forward to it. Sixteenth century Italy is one of my favorite settings.
