Could you please recommend a good biography of Queen Juana La Loca? Oh, and maybe one with Queen Margo of France, if possible? Thanks, and I loved your book about Juana. :)
C.W. Gortner
The biographies about Juana that I used for research are all in Spanish and out of print. As for Margot, I believe Nancy Goldstone (author) has a new nonfiction book out about Margot and her mother, Catherine de Medici.

Very excited about The Vatican Princess! I love the genre and studied myself in Paris where I delved into Renaissance studies. I am also a huge fan of Tudor literature, so when I saw that Alison Weir highly recommended your book I was very excited! I have been waiting for a book to tell the story from Lucrezia's perspective. Do you see parallels between Lucrezia and Anne Boleyn in being unfairly maligned figures?

Hello Mr. Gortner, I just read your article on Medium "The Objectification in MM Romance" and I guess I'm one of the newer gay cis male readers to have become intrigued by the genre. Near the end of the article you mention that you would be writing gay stories which I would very much like to add to my reading list when any become available. Have you completed any such yet or have a target date coming soon? Thank you!
