New Royal Book Review Blog!

"That which does not kill us, makes us stronger!"

Today, as I awakened from a deep and restful slumber brought about by a long return from Europe, (from Brussels to LHR to San Francisco), I received several emails with troubling and upsetting contents.

Apparently, a royal reading blog insinuated that DEAR ELLEN did not fare well in sales at this year's RD Royalty Weekend. Some people questioned that assertion and emailed me about it. They and I were dealt with summarily by the blog's owner.

More than a bit shocked, as I know the sales numbers of all our venues, I contacted the excellent people of the Dutch Bookstore Hoogstraten English Bookstore. As I expected, they confirmed that the book had been their TOP seller at RD.

I replied to the owner of the message board in which the erroneous statement was made and instead of pleasantries, I was barraged with nasty emails and name calling. Of course, the owner of that blog was not interested in posting a correction to the misinformation she was lured into publishing. Sad, really.

Instead, the owner banned me from the message board. A First...I have never been banned from a board before, but feel proud to join others in cyber exile!

However, I embraced this act and while driving our son to school,  thought: "Embrace this...the Eurohistory Magazine has hundreds of book reviews, share them with people!"

So thank you...seriously thank you...my banishment from that board gave rise to a new Eurohistory-owned blog:

Engagement in House Luxembourg

News that were confirmed to me last weekend by a family member of the groom, is now official!

Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume of Luxembourg is engaged to be married to Countess Stépahnie de Lannoy.

The Grand Marshal of the Grand Ducal Court of Luxembourg officially announced that Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume, eldest son of Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa, is engaged to be married to Countes ßtéphanie de Lannoy, youngest daughter of Count Philippe and of Alix della Faille de Leverghem. Stéphanie was born at Renaix, Belgium in 1984. She is a cousin of Countess Katia Limburg Stirum and  Countess Christine Limburg Stirum, both daughters-in-law of Princess Hélène of France.

DEAR ELLEN Top Seller at Hoogstraten English Bookstore

Much to my absolute delight, I find that my latest book, DEAR ELLEN – Royal Europe Through the Photo Albums of Grand Duchess Helen Vladimirovna of Russia is the TOP selling book at renowed and well-respected Hoogstraten English Bookstore in The Hague!

I visited this excellent shop earlier this week and signed copies of the book, which has been selling very, very well!

Ms Bakker also told me, unlike it was posted in a royal book message board, that DEAR ELLEN was indeed to top seller at this year's RD Royalty Weekend.

Thanks everyone!
