Margaret George:
I want to know who the next historical person you will write about next? I am having painful withdrawal from your books so I just started reading Elizabeth I for the second time! Thanks so much for all of your books

Well, as you may know already, my next book is about the emperor Nero. In fact its publication is just around the corner---March 7th! This will be in two parts, the first part titled "The Confessions of Young Nero" and it follows him from his early childhood into several years of his being emperor. His story is so fascinating that if it weren't true it would be hard to believe. I think of it as as "Michael Corleone meets A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man." Nero really was an artist but that didn't mix easily with being emperor. So he was always being pulled in opposite directions trying to reconcile his two sides.
The second part will follow his the height of his reign and the end of his dynasty.

Margaret -- Would you be interested in writing about the life of Edward III? I think this is one of the most overlooked Kings of England who ascended the throne under odd circumstances. His father Edward II was homosexual, his mother Isabelle of France took control of kingdom with her lover in her son's name, who had to execute the lover. Edward III married Phillippa of Hault, had a huge family, & was a great king.
