Hi,
I'm writing this book called The Tsarina's Servant that I'd like to publish soon, and I was just wondering if anyone would want to read something like that.

Naturally, I came here. Please go easy on me. I'm new here.

Dear Anastasia Spalko,

First of all, welcome to the board. Its a joyfull board overhere. A good oppurtunity to make some friend from all over the world.

About your question: if it is a good book, ofcourse there are people willing to read your book. But you must know, that some would like to read fiction, while others only read non-fiction. So people can be really critical.

Right. I should add more info. It's about a fictional girl growing up during that time period. The FA probably wouldn't be happy, because it's got "fictional" info on the survivors of Yekaterinburg and on the mystery of Alexander I. I wouldn't be suprised if this was deleted. BTw, thank you for the warm welcome, Teddy.

By the way, I put fictional in quotation marks because I'm not 100% sure the case is completely closed.

Not on the thread's subject, maybe, but the case is closed --> all bodies are found and it is scientificly proved that there were no survivors from that night of July, 1918. So, it'll definitely be fictional. : ) Welcome to the forum anyway! Enjoy you time here.

At least most of it is real. I tried so hard to pick up info on the Romanovs' daily lives, but it is tough. As much as I read on the subject, I still probably have made many mistakes. But, I find new info everyday, and I stay up until one in the morning editing stuff I got wrong. I practically had to re-do the whole ballroom scene in the second chapter when I learned the Russians usually ate from something buffet-like at their parties. If it weren't for Nicholas and Alexandra, I would have made that gigantic mistake.
