England under "Bloody Mary." The adventure, danger and intrigue of Tudor England, plus a deeply felt love story - it's all here for you in my latest release, THE KING'S DAUGHTER.

And don't miss where the adventure began - with THE QUEEN'S LADY, set in the turbulent reign of Henry VIII. 

Book #3 in this series - THE QUEEN'S CAPTIVE - is coming in August 2010.  

I hope you'll enjoy being caught up in the passions and setbacks, adventures and strivings of the Thornleigh family - Honor, Richard, Isabel, and Adam - as they befriend, and sometimes betray, their willful kings and queens.

Happy reading!

Sincerely,
Barbara Kyle

News Flash:
THE KING'S DAUGHTER  - sold out in its first two printings - has gone into its third printing.
Foreign rights continue to sell for both books -- most recently to Hungary and Portugal. (I'll be fascinated to see the covers these publishers devise!)

Update: THE QUEEN'S CAPTIVE is the next book in my Tudor era "Thornleigh" series. Honor and Richard and their seafaring son Adam struggle to keep the impetuous 21-year-old Princess Elizabeth from harm at the hands of her bitter sister, Queen Mary.

Highlights: I spoke on a panel discussion at the Historical Novel Society conference in Chicago in June 2009. For some highlights of the conference click here.
