Story Behind The Book
Genealogy research led me to Russia, the Europeans who answered the invitation of the new empress of Russia, Catherine the Great, and to Catherine herself. Years of research re the German Rhinelanders and Catherine's life story including the coup which overthrew her mentally deficient husband. All of this culminated in the birth of Destinies, a novel - an historical blend of fact and fiction.

<p>Review on Barnes & Noble: </p> <p class="reviewer"><a href="http://my.barnesandnoble.com/communityportal/userProfile.aspx?penName=CCdeQueen">CCdeQueen</a> </p> <div class="review-body"> <h4>I could not put this book down </h4> <p>Destinies has everything, a fascinating plot with absorbing adventures and romance, imagery that brings the story to life and interesting characters. I was up all night reading it. The story of Christian and the Rhinelander settlers is particularly well done. The fact that the story is based on historical events just makes it even more compelling. I look forward to much more from this author </p></div> <p><br /><br /> </p>
