Doomed Queens:


DOOMED QUEENS recounts the tales of numerous unfortunate queens.
Some of these women died unhappily in exile or imprisoned, while others met more unfortunate ends such as suicide or assassination. Readers will meet over fifty queens who met their doom. The time line of queens discussed range from the biblical era of Athaliah to modern day Princess Diana. They are arranged by time periods and drafted in short and often humorous biographical information. How would their lives have been different if they had been male?

It's the perfect pick for Women's History month or just a wonderful, entertaining non-fiction book for those curious about royalty, or a perfect sidekick for a fairy tale or royal novel.

Fisk’s brother-in-law has been falsely accused of blackmail. His sister wrote Fisk home, hoping that he could help (specifically with his knowledge of criminals) clear her husband's name.Fisk and Michael start talking to the townspeople, but some don't like their questions. Someone sets fires, blaming Michael, forcing him to lay low. Can Fisk discover who framed his family before the citizens of the town kill Michael?

The sequel to THE LAST KNIGHT, ROGUE’S HOME is a medieval tale of mystery and action that will captivate readers and keep them guessing until the end of the book.

Meg must spend the week riding in a police car with the officer who brought her in. She’s unnerved to find that not only is he a few years older than she is and that they once had class together - but also that she’s falling for him.
