Story Behind The Book

After writing dozens of fiction books, I was encouraged to try my hand at my first novel. Having studied Leonardo da Vinci for many years, he was easy to pick for my first story. He lived a fascinating life, so it wasn't hard to write a novel around his early years!

It encompasses everything you hope to find when you shop for historical fiction. Drawing you into Leonardo's story from the first page, this book invites you to walk a day in Leonardo's shoes. I was especially impressed with the author's talent in telling you just enough about a character, landscape or building to allow the words to come off the page in a rich imagery. All in all, this was an excellent read. I can't wait to jump into some personal research to quench the thirst the novel inspired.&quot;</span></div><div style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">&quot;</span><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">It was great fun to read this wonderful, family-friendly fiction book about Leonardo da Vinci. I have been disappointed many times before, so this was a special treat. We couldn't put it down.&quot;</span></div><div style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">&quot;</span><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">I read this book from cover to cover while waiting for a poetry reading at our library. The narrative is lively and keeps the reader's attention. I am taking a European Art History Course and was able to recognize the architecture the young Leonardo encounters. The political intrigue kept me turning pages to learn what would happen next. Can't wait to read more!&quot;</span></div>
