I come from an extremely talented family. The generations that preceded mine were scholars & singers & artists & craftsmen, & the generations coming after mine are even more talented.
This website belongs to my niece, Sophie. It’s a nice place to hang out on a summer’s afternoon. The artwork is fabulous. I wish I could draw like that!
But the articles are informative & her blog is cool, too. The whole website rocks. Check it out! You won’t be sorry.

One of the most prolific authors of all times, writer of over 200 novels, selling over 100 million copies & translated into over 20 languages.
I have been a fan of Jean Plaidy novels since I was a teen. I learned a great deal of history from these novels & from reading the history & biographical books she listed in her bibliographies. I also enjoyed Victoria Holt novels but I was never a great fan of gothic novels. Her other novels I have never read; some of those pen names are unknown to me. Perhaps they are published in Britain only. But if I ever happen to see one, I will certainly snap it up.
