Books in Three Bytes 10: Leslie Carroll

Bestselling author Leslie Carroll has long entertained readers in several genres, including historical fiction and nonfiction. Her focus on strong female characters in such books as ROYAL AFFAIRS, NOTORIOUS ROYAL ROMANCES, ROYAL PAINS, and her historical fiction trilogy on MARIE ANTOINETTE bring the historical times and the women to life for contemporary readers. Leslie explains what draws her to writing about the women in her books, how and why her approach has caught on so well with readers, and the striking similarities found in the royal women of the past and those of today, caught up in the web of power, sex, and politics.
