Eva McDonald +

Sad news to report.  Eva McDonald, who co-wrote several books on the the Romanovs, has died.  Her son, Michael, posted the news about his mom's death on her Facebook page.

She was 73 years old as she was born on December 2, 1944.   I believe she died in Palm Beach, Florida.


When I have more information, I will post it.

Hodder buys world wide rights to the Quest for Queen Mary

"Hodder buys world rights to Queen Mary hit

Rights - Non Fiction Thursday, 09 August 2018

Boutique publisher Zuleika has sold world rights to The Quest for Queen Mary by James Pope-Hennessy, edited by Hugo Vickers; 'destined to be a classic' says Hodder.

The book was first published by Zuleika Books in March and has since received exceptionally good reviews. According to Hodder's acquisition statement, 'The Quest for Queen Mary is the full collection of unexpurgated notes by James Pope-Hennessy for his highly admired official biography of the Queen's grandmother, Queen Mary, published in 1959.

'His notes of meetings with royalty, members of court and retainers, taken over three years and which took him all over Europe, are so indiscreet they were kept private for 50 years and have only now been published in full. They are edited and annotated by the acclaimed royal biographer Hugo Vickers.

The book is currently available via Zuleika's website for £20 (the cover price is £30) but there is a six-day wait due to 'significant demand'.


This means Hugo's fabulous book will reach an even wider audience.

Publication  date is September 20.
