About meI'm the author of the historical fiction novel THE LAST QUEEN, about Juana la Loca of Castile (Ballantine Books, 2008) and THE SECRET LION, a mystery set in the Tudor court of Edward VI (Two Bridges Press, 2006).

THE LAST QUEEN was a Marin Independent Journal bestseller and will be released in trade paperback in May, 2009. My next novel, THE CONFESSIONS OF CATHERINE DE MEDICI, will be released in the spring of 2010.

I have an MFA in Writing, with a major in Renaissance Studies and I love talking to book groups. Please visit my website at www.cwgortner.com to learn more about me, my books, and to schedule an author chat, as well as view a special section about Juana la Loca's world.

I really enjoyed "The Last Queen" - a great insight into a character who has received a tough treatment from historians. You made her seem very human and a maybe not quite as "mad" as some would make Queen Juana out to be. I'm looking forward to your next novel about another strong female character!
Hey to Christopher from Amy in Louisiana...

I am a HUGE fan of "The Last Queen" and I cannot wait until your next book! Thanks for producing such a quality piece of work!
