Would you ever write a book about the Borgias? I would give anything to see the tale you could spin for the Borgias!
C.W. Gortner
Hi Rebecca,
Thanks for asking. I actually have written a book about Lucrezia Borgia, covering her tumultuous, dramatic youth in the Vatican. The working title is "Borgia's Daughter" and it will be published in 2016 by Ballantine Books / Random House in the US, and Hodder & Stoughton in the UK. There's currently a listing for the UK edition here on Goodreads, but the 2015 pub date is wrong. It won't be out until early 2016. My next novels are "The Tudor Vendetta," out on October 21, and "Mademoiselle Chanel", which will be out on March 17, 2015.

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!

Hey Mr Gortner, I love following your book updates, especially for the recommendations and reviews which are really insightful. I was just wondering what historical period you'll love to dive into if you have a chance. And also, I'd love to know your take on what 'makes' historical fiction the genre it is. Thank you!

Just finished Mademoiselle Chanel. I so loved it! While the sexual encounters were a tad bit too descriptive for me, I still rated it 5 out of 5 stars. Your writing is perfect. Easy too read yet captivating. Thank you. I find it so hard to find books that make me want to read them every moment, but this book did just that. I want to learn more about her now. How much time did you spend on researching & writing it?
