Saints, Lionheart, and a wonderful writer who will be dearly missed
Well, Saints has yet to appear on Amazon.com.UK in its e-book rebirth, and I won’t be able to contact my editor till Monday, so I don’t know what has gone wrong. Whenever things do go wrong, I tend to blame Demon Spawn, but even I have to admit he is innocent this time.
I did get some good news about Lionheart, though. An English friend told me that Lionheart is on the Bookseller’s Heat-seeking Fiction List. I am not totally sure what that is, but it sounds way cool. Lionheart is definitely giving off some heat on several British bestseller lists, which makes me very happy, of course. But poor Henry. I can see Richard making his life miserable in some corner of the Hereafter, bragging that his book has sold much better than Henry's. I'm sure Henry already was vexed that in the UK those books are advertised as the Eleanor of Aquitaine trilogy--for you know Eleanor wouldn't have missed a chance to bring that up at some celestial dinner party.
And the Historical Novel Society has posted my tribute to Margaret Frazer on their website, here. http://historicalnovelsociety.org/mar... I think it is lovely that they are remembering her this way, and they also plan to do a retrospective of her books in the future; I am sure that would have pleased her.
