Ellen Collier asked C.W. Gortner:

Just finished CHANEL and gave it the deserved 5-star rating. Amazing—one of the best books I’ve ever read! I’m wondering which famous figure you’ll tackle next and if you’ll continue writing about fashion designers and actresses?

C.W. Gortner Hi Ellen,
Thanks for your kind words. I've published three novels since MADEMOISELLE CHANEL. THE VATICAN PRINCESS, about Lucrezia Borgia (2016); MARLENE, about actress Marlene Dietrich (2016), and THE ROMANOV EMPRESS (2018), about Empress Maria Feodorovna, mother of Tsar Nicholas II.

My next novel is about Sarah Bernhardt, the 19th century French theater actress and the world's first international celebrity. I don't have a firm publication date yet but I believe it will be in 2020.

Dear Mr. Gortner, I love all your books, especially 'The Last Queen', 'The Confessions of Catherine the Medici' and 'The Vatican Princess". I'm wondering if you have ever considered writing a book set in early medieval or ancient times?

Andrea Stoeckel asked C.W. Gortner:

I first "found" you with Madamoiselle Chanel, and have the rest of your work in my "used book wish list". I rarely buy books, however I want to get all of yours. Question: How long between idea and finished work?
