- 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.

Hi Gabriella. Delighted to have another Spanish fan. So many interesting things happening, and so few who know more than a caricature. Just got back from a little research myself. Ran into a huge plaque and write-up on Isabella's onetime confessor, later Bishop of Granada, Fray Hernando Talavera-- but even though it was Toledo, everyone was trying to ignore her later confessor, Jimenez Cisneros. It seems he is rather an embarrassment nowadays.
Hello and welcome!

Hi Gabriella, and a belated welcome. I've been away and am only back. Are you currently stationed in Antarctica, or is that just a 'fun' residence?!
Have you finished a novel about Isabella, or is it a WIP?
Given that you're writing about Isabella, have you read our own C.W. Gortner's The Last Queen?

Wow! Small world!
Isabella of Spain--what an incredible woman. One of my favorite novels about her is Norah Lofts' old CROWN OF ALOES, but I think she could be written a thousand times in a thousand different ways. I hope to read your book one day!
