If you enjoy historical romances, then the name Philippa Gregory (of The Other Boleyn Girl fame) would be as familiar to you as smelling salts would be to a corseted woman.
The Red Queen, follow up to The White Queen, is now available in paperback in anticipation of the third book in the Wars of the Roses series, The Lady of the Rivers, to be released this Fall. The Red Queen is just as scintillating and salacious as The White Queen and The Lady of the Rivers promises to bring the same!
Margaret Beaufort was born the heiress to the red rose of Lancaster. Margaret had grand plans for herself but her more practical mother arranges for her to marry a man twice her age. Margaret finds herself in a loveless marriage, a mother at age fourteen and then a young widow. Instead of dwelling on her lonely life, she sets her sights on the throne of England for her son. The Red Queen is a tantalizing tale of loyalty, lineage, royalty and destiny.
For more from The Red Queen read the excerpt from Simon & Schuster Canada and visit Philippa Gregory's website: www.philippagregory.com.
