Thanks Holly -- you work fast! And thanks again for the banner.
I dread to think what a superficial, standardized novel I would have written about the imperial family without the friends and resources I've accumulated from the Alexander Palace Time Machine and discussion board in the last three years. When I came here I had no idea how little I actually knew about Nicholas II and his family. I can tell you my book collection alone has increased four-fold, but it's impossible to measure the details, subtleties, and insights I've picked up along the way. So a hearty thanks to everyone who's shared their expertise, photographs, books, films, time, and encouragement. If you're reading this and you have any reason to wonder, "Does she mean me?" then yes, I mean you.
Ally -- I don't know how far abroad this novel is likely to travel, but I'm sure it will be available on Amazon.
