I've been interviewed about the Habsburgs...
I was surprised when the request for this interview came in because it was was for ADELRUNE, my novel set in Austria and the one currently being marketed to publishers.

Next Austrian historical in the works
My Austrian historical featuring the Habsburg family (loosely... one has to tread carefully when merging fiction with a still exsisting family) is off to New York!
Work is starting on the next historical centering on the fire of the Ringstrasse Theater in 1881. Book opens several years later, but all primary characters are affected by this disaster.
Just putting a call out for books... if anyone knows books that might feature this disaster. Point them my way. I have already been

Hilfe, Bitte!
I need help. Many of you know from my other blogs that I am a contributing author to Unusual Historicals. http://unusualhistoricals.blogspot.com My blogging day this month is the 29th. Our topic is standards of beauty. Since I write Austrian Historicals (that little Phantom of the Opera continuation mine due out aside for a moment--but still---squeee!) I will be blogging about Kaiserin Elisabeth and her beauty care.

By the way, you have probably read lots of Elisabeth's poetry. What's your take on it? It's some time since I read it, but I distinctly remember being rather disappointed. It was fascinating, because she was who she was, but the poetry itself was rather mundane.
I wonder whether she had an accurate sense of how good her poetry was or whether it was more an outlet for all her frustrations. She admired Heinrich Heine so she must have been able to appreciate good poetry. The interesting question is in which light she viewed her own poetry.
I actually tried to write an entry as an answer to your blog entry on the Elisabeth-Prater masquerade story, but perhaps it disappeared in cyberspace. As you have probably worked out, I'm fairly new in here so I apparently need to learn how things work around here.
I have been fascinated by Kaiserin Elisabeth since my childhood so it was great to read your anecdote. The gist of my earlier entry was whether you had historical evidence for the Prater-story or whether it is handed down gossip?
It's been some time since I've done serious Elisabeth-reading so your entry and writings in general are a nice way to re-kindle my interest.
Of course, in combination with an Elisabeth-musical obsession there is plenty of distraction to keep me from marking the piles of English essays that are sitting on my desk!
Very cool that you are an Elisabeth fan. Most that are also like POTO. Must be the Death thing...
*whistles innocently and plots the next Austrian book* Death.... in a cravat....
Is the verse pretty much a huge on going Sueish story?
Also, you should totally join the 'verse. It's tons of fun, once you embrace the silliness! :D
Oooh, the Sueniverse. Are you a member then, or is the name just funny?
You know...having just looked through the gallery a few minutes ago, we only have a couple of Rudolf picture. I shall add more later!
*waves* Hi, Mav!
I'm really enjoying looking at everyone's profiles too. I also like seeing which songs, pictures and videos everyone chooses to upload/display as well.
I'll be adding to mine a bit later...this place is far to addicting, lol. ;)
