Dear Sister hits the No.1 spot on Kindle!

Where do old novels go when they die? The answer used to be the remainder bin –
or, in my case, the graveyard of the garden shed, where the few remaining hard copies of my first published novel, Dear Sister, had been gathering dust for a quarter of a century.

But this week Dear Sister became the No.1 bestseller in the Kindle UK's historical fiction chart - and no one is more surprised than I am!

Quotes by Judith Summers (?)

“When asked by an English poet who was at the table to read the ancient couplet Discite grammatici cur mascula nomina cunnus/ Et cur femineum mentula nomen habet -Teach us, grammarians, why vagina (cunnus) is a masculine noun/ And why penis (mentula) is feminine –Giacomo answered it with a witty pentameter of his own invention: Disce quod a domino nomina servus habet -It is because the slave always takes the name of his master.”

“Equally at ease in a palace, a merchant’s house or a brothel, and most at home between a woman’s legs, Casanova successfully straddled the worlds of the high life to which he aspired, and the low life into which he had been born.”
― Judith Summers, Casanova's Women: The Great Seducer and the Women He Loved

“Today is Casanova’s seventy-third birthday, and he is already suffering from the debilitating painful bladder disorder which will claim his life in two months’ time. Considering how many deceived husbands and women must have wanted to kill him during the course of his long life it is ironic that he is destined to die of a urinary infection in the safety of his own bed.”
