Betrayal in Versailles

13 June 2016

In France’s house of cards, Louis XIV could make or break your reputation.

International woman of history, biographer, posh doomer, thwarted nihilist, not goth, Saint-Just fan girl, chaotic good, anxious, flame haired Robespierre, ENFP, a sweet titbit for the Devil's mouth.

Currently working hard on my fifth book - a biography of Madame Élisabeth, sister of Louis XVI.

Book six will be looking at women guillotined during the Reign of Terror, while book seven will be MY LIFE'S WORK - a biography of Louis-Antoine de Saint-Just.

(If you're wondering where the 'sweet titbit for the devil's mouth' came from - apparently John Knox wrote it about one of my ancestresses, along with calling her a 'very Jezebel'.)
