About this author

After years of acting in Shakespeare’s plays, Christy English is excited to bring the Bard to Regency England in the re-telling of The Taming of the Shrew, How To Tame A Willful Wife.

I got home from the RT Convention a week ago, but I am still inspired by the fabulous people I met there. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be doing Give Aways of books I collected during my time in Kansas City. These novels are so much fun, I want to share them with [...] read more »

The Reincarnationist by M.J. Rose
" A fast paced, exciting tale melding reincarnation and a modern couple's quest to find meaning and love in their tumultuous world. Read it in one sitting because I couldn't put it down! "
Dead Ever After by Charlaine Harris
I adore Sookie Stackhouse! And this book reminds me why..what a scrappy and brave woman...and funny too. I am sorry to see this series end, but no one deserves Happily Ever After more.

Christy English I really enjoyed it...I recommend it Stephanie. It's a good one...


Stephanie I can't wait to see what you think of The Lady of the Rivers by Philippa Gregory. Everytime I go into B&N I go straight to it and check it out. I entered it to win on Goodreads-Giveaways. If I don't win it I'm going to put it on my wish list for Christmas. :)


Christy English Stephanie wrote: "Wow! You ARE busy! We are all doing wonderful! I'm looking forward to hearing about the novel you are working on. :)"

Thank you Stephanie. I am in the middle of a romance series that sets Shakespearean comedies in Regency England. I am having a ball... :)


Stephanie Wow! You ARE busy! We are all doing wonderful! I'm looking forward to hearing about the novel you are working on. :)


Christy English Stephanie wrote: "Hey Christy! We miss seeing you on Ladies & Literature!"

I miss you guys too! I am wildly revising one novel while writing another. I'll be back more after the holidays, once my deadlines have calmed down. It has been a wild summer and fall, but I am loving it.

I hope you are all well. Blessings on you!


Stephanie Hey Christy! We miss seeing you on Ladies & Literature!


Christy English There is so much out there about Eleanor...and I am so glad...she truly is amazing...

I. Love goodreads...I have met so many lovely people on it...


Alycia I can tell you love Eleanor :) I have not read a novel about her before To Be Queen, but after I definitely wanted to read more.

I do love GR too and all the wonderful people and authors that I have met.


Christy English Alycia, I am so glad you read and liked TO BE QUEEN. I am completely devoted to Eleanor...can you tell? :) I am excited to hear that you are going to be diving into THE QUEEN'S PAWN...Eleanor is older in that novel, with a little more bitterness, but she is still her amazing self. Nothing gets her down. I truly admire her.

I am so happy to be friends with you on Goodreads. I love this site!


Alycia Thank you for the friendship Christy! I just read To Be Queen and really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to reading The Queen's Pawn. :)
