It’s perfect because the novel begins with Maria von Trapp's trip to New York to confront the writers working on the script for The Sound of Music. Maria was deeply unhappy that so much of h

“I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.”
Jack London

Thank you so much for accepting my request, and I'm so glad to hear you've enjoyed my Egyptian books!! I hope your friend will enjoy reading them too :) I recently read The Unbearable Lightness of Being based on your review. So glad I did. Fantastic!

Irena Pasvinter Thank you for suggesting GR friendship, Moran. I'm a fan of your writing. I was very much impressed by the writing and plot quality of Nefertiti and Heretic Queen. Since then I've been on the lookout for all your other books and have bought a few more when they were published, but still haven't read them. Just last Saturday I gave my paperbacks of Nefertiti and Heretic Queen to a friend who like historical fiction. Hope she will become your fan too.;)


⋆☆☽ Jen ☾☆⋆ Thank you for adding me :)
I just LOVED Nefertiti, so I'll start to read Cleopatra's Daughter very soon (hoping that I'll find The Heretic Queen, too :( )!
I love your work, keep it up!! :D


Eugenia (Genie In A Book) Thank you for accepting my friend request :)
I have your book Madame Tussaud sitting proudly on my bookshelf and it looks amazing!


Laura Lee Just ordered the new book on line. Can't wait. I had really enjoyed the Marie Antoinette book.


Jennifer Williams Wow! Thank you for accepting my friend request. I love your work! And cant wait for Second Empress!!!
