The Invention of Wings

Invention of WingsYes, I do have a life beyond cherry blossoms!  My first novel is at the editing stage.  It is set in Renaissance France in the court of Francis the First, focused on his last official mistress and the challenges she faced.  To inspire me, I read high quality historic novels set in other time periods.  I just finished Sue Monk Kidd’s The Invention of Wings, set in early 19th century America and recommended by Sharon Kay Penman among others.  I found it transformative and commend it to you.
