Carrying a handcrafted porcelain pair of roses, Barbie® doll is the height of royalty as Marie Antoinette who became the Queen of France when her husband was crowned King Louis XVI in the 18th century. She wears a regal blue gown and matching bodice that is embellished with touches of golden lace. Draped with golden fringe, the generous layers of her extravagant gown are decorated with golden tassels and hide her full-length pantaloons and the blue satin ribbons on her shoes. A matching hat topped with feathers completes her ensemble. She wears an extravagant rhinestone necklace that complements her dramatic ensemble.

Secretly, I have always wanted to write a novel…
About royalty. I find the history of royal families one of the most fasinating parts of history. The romances of Victoria and Albert, Sissi and Frans Joseph, and even Marie Antoinette and Louie, are all so tragic and beautiful.
I have kept this to myself because I want magic to have no part of it. I want it to be a true royal romance, where there is love, betrayal and sacrifice for the good of ones country. I do not want knights fighting dragons, and I do not see a large audience outside of the fantasy world interested in YA royalty novels.
Would you read a YA novel about a realistic, historical, royal family? What is a novel you would secretly like to write? Do you have any YA royalty book suggestions?
