One more blog for sure is coming on the galleys; and I'm thinking we have to revisit my least favorite queen in history, Mary Queen of Scots, and her exploding husband. The nice thing (?) about history is that it's just so full of murder, gossip, violence, sex, power grabs, and every other criminal activity. The possibilities are endless!Eve Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03015761600962360110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-45007149017458548562013-08-01T14:01:58.113-04:002013-08-01T14:01:58.113-04:00Eve, loved the article.
