Hannah asked C.W. Gortner:

Who is the next historic heroine that you will be writing about?

C.W. Gortner Hi Hannah,
My next novel is MARLENE, about Marlene Dietrich, coming out May 24 of this year. I have two books out in 2016 because there was a publication delay on THE VATICAN PRINCESS, which I actually completed 3 years ago. You can find MARLENE here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

I've just made accepted an offer for a new novel, but I'm not at liberty to discuss the subject yet. My agent will announce it sometime in late May, once we have the contract signed. I can say, my new heroine is a great character: an empress!

Anielica asked C.W. Gortner:

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?

Cintia

Cintia asked C.W. Gortner:

Hi, my name is Cintia and I'm from Argentina. Being a writer is what I want the most in this world, nothing makes me happier than writing, but I'm more and more frustrated with each passing day, because I've been blocked for 3 years. And it is not that I have an unfinished story. I have NOTHING AT ALL. A blank page in front of me, that only makes me sadder... Is there a way to overcome this? How do you handle it?

Souhaila El-souki

Souhaila El-souki asked C.W. Gortner:

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?
