Attention friends and fans in the Chesapeake Bay Area: Mark your calendars! Kate Quinn (Mistress of Rome, Daughters of Rome, & Empress of the Seven Hills), Sophie Perinot (The Sister Queens) & I (Stephanie Dray — Lily of the Nile & Song of the Nile) are doing a triple-threat author appearance this month!

We’ll be talking about the ways in which secrets and sexuality have evolved and been viewed throughout history.

Our books pack a royal wallop (collectively we’ve covered Cleopatra’s daughter; the daughter of a Roman Senator; a Roman Empress, and a pair of 13th century queens) and we are pretty lively company. So come out and support us at the Barnes & Noble in Reston, VA on April 21st (between 1-3 pm).
