After several years of research, writing, and rewriting, I’m delighted to announce that Crown Deception has officially been published.

Inspired by my aunt Margaret Bramford’s memoir From Cottage to Palace and the remarkable true story of my great-aunt Florence’s thirty years of service to the British royal family, the novel blends real history with an international political conspiracy stretching from London and Paris to Imperial Russia.

Thank you to everyone who has encouraged me throughout this journey—readers, family, friends, fellow writers, and everyone who pre-ordered the book.

For Launch Day only, the Kindle edition is available for just $0.99 before returning to its regular price.

I hope you enjoy the adventure.
