Can you tell us anything about the sequel to Queen of Someday? Or is it too soon? Also, what made you want to write about Catherine the Great?
Sherry D. Ficklin
I sure can! I just completed this book and it was SO fun to write. I can tell you there is a lot more political drama in this book, a couple assassination attempts, and we get a few familiar faces returning to court. I think, for me, book 2 is really about this series of fragile bonds between people, and what happens when those bonds are tested, and broken.
Catherine the Great was such a dynamic woman, in a time where dynamic women were hard to find. I always wondered how she became the person she was, wondered what might have happened if she'd chosen a different path. So, while I wanted to stay true to the heart of her story, I was desperate to explore it and play with it a bit too.

Maybe you want to correct something in "Queen of Someday?" which, btw, I'm really enjoying. It's possible I noticed this only because I'm the president of a Swedish club & we often get asked about our chocolate & skiing in the alps. When you first introduce Peter, you say he "abdicated the Swiss throne" and then a few pages later, it's mentioned that he is no longer the heir to the throne of Sweden.
