Dragon's Lair | Sharon Penman
6 posts | 11 read | 6 to read
July, AD 1193: A king's ransom is missing... Richard the Lionheart, captured on his way home from the crusades, rots in an Austrian dungeon. Now England must raise a king's ransom. While his mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine, ransacks the land for gold to buy his freedom, Richard's younger brother, John, plots with King Philippe of France, England's bitterest foe, to ensure his brother dies in chains. When one of the ransom payments vanishes in the fastnesses of Wales, Eleanor sends her agent, Justin de Quincy, to recover it. Thrust into a maelstrom of intrigue if not outright rebellion, De Quincy's devotion will be supremely tested. For the queen's treasure is elusive, and danger is everywhere...

@DarcysMom It's here! I started it at the beach, but it's incredibly hard to concentrate on anything but the kite surfers and dogs jumping in the surf. It seems like a great story though! #lmpbc #groupY @grumpygirlbooks @BridgetteM

BridgetteM Beautiful picture! 6y
DarcysMom Gorgeous! 6y

Today's author spotlight: Sharon Kay Penman! The 72-year-old NYT-bestselling author was born in NYC and grew up in New Jersey, having attended Rutgers School of Law. While a student, she researched and wrote a 400-page manuscript, which was stolen from her car. She didn't write for 5 years. She would rewrite it to 936 pages and have it published in 1982. She still lives in NJ and has a second home in Wales. #AuthorPotpourri #TheMoreYouKnow

SandyW Wow, good for her! I think that would completely take the wind from my sails. 7y
toofondofbooks She is my absolute favorite. 7y
DGRachel I ❤️ her!!!! She is my favorite historical fiction author. I actually made a fool of myself in a Borders once when I saw a new release on the shelves (I didn‘t know it was out yet). The store clerk asked if I needed help, I saw the book while I was getting ready to tell him I was “just looking”, and literally squealed and rushed past him to grab it. 🤣🤣 7y

Andrew65 I love her too, her Welsh Princes Trilogy is my favourite all time trilogy and there are a lot of trilogies to choose from! If you like Historical Fiction you need to read her, and so many of her books fit #yearofthechunkster 7y
DGRachel @andrew65 Pretty sure it was this one. Nothing like a 30-something woman suddenly screaming to startle the poor employee. 🤣😂🤣 7y
Andrew65 @DGRachel I wonder if he‘s out of therapy yet! 😂 7y
Melissa_J Yay!!! My favourite author. Thank you for featuring her 😊 7y
