You know I love to weave in great historical detail and couch my stories in the goodies that your history teacher never offered you!
Here's a goodie: In RAMSEY, just as in ALIBI, a character who is a former courtesan and mistress of the old Duc D'Orleans, still lives and because she was imprisoned with Josephine in Carmes, she remains her friend.
She calls herself an adoptive mother to Amber, our heroine in RUIN, and she calls herself the aunt of the heroine in ALIBI, Augustine, but who is she really?
An Englishwoman of rather dubious repute was indeed the mistress of the Prince Regent who then had her married off to a sickly fellow. Our lady "disappeared" for a few months, then went to Paris. There, she was introduced and recommended to the old Duc d"Orleans. There she remained with him and when he was carted off to the guillotine, the lady was sent to Carmes.
True story.
Have any idea of her real name? Your guesses can go in comments!
