About meHistorical novelist, historical mystery novelist, and insufferable knowitall about almost anything connected with the French Revolution. :-)
Please visit my author website at www.susannealleyn.com to learn more about my novels, read some first chapters, sign up for my newsletter, and all that. Book club members -- if your group would like to chat with me via speakerphone, please visit my website for more info.
And just because there aren't enough books in my life, I hope to open a second-hand bookstore here in Albany, NY within the next few years. Won't that be fun? Come visit!
About my libraryThis is my personal research collection, the result of about 17 years' worth of obsessive bookshopping, in the USA and in Paris. French Revolution/18th-century France research; general reference useful for the mystery and historical fiction writer (no, I don't use those poison books for anything but polishing off fictional characters); books on writing; some of my collection of historical fiction set in the French Revolution. You won't find my complete fiction library here (you probably don't care how many Agatha Christies or Dorothy Sayers I own).
The historical research books are recommended as being full of juicy facts or highly readable or both. I'm a bookseller too [check out "Tricolor Books" on the Net for used & rare French and European history books], so if a nonfiction book is no use to me or a drag to read, I sell it . . . therefore the keepers are, for the most part, the best of the best, rated for their general usefulness to me.
No rating means I haven't dipped into the book enough yet to judge its usefulness...or it's a novel I wrote myself, in which case it would be a little tacky . . .
