When I write "hard core" historical novels, I'm months in researching before I even really start writing. And by then, I'm usually working on something else.Hazel Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01234157921832851920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565893280908397886.post-16126306149864862522012-06-01T11:10:39.112-04:002012-06-01T11:10:39.112-04:00OK, I don't believe I've ever seen an oran...OK, I don't believe I've ever seen an orange car..at least not one right from the manufacturer!

Here are some narrated solely or mainly from her perspective:<br /><br />Queen of Shadows: A Novel of Isabella, Queen of Edward II by Edith Felber (2006)<br />Isabel the Fair by Margaret Campbell Barnes (1977)<br />The She-Wolf by Pamela Bennetts (1978)<br />The She-Wolf of France by Maurice Druon (1960)<br />The Queen and Mortimer by Brenda Honeyman (1974)<br />Cashelmara by Susan Howatch (1975) (Edward and Isabella’s story updated to nineteenth-century Ireland)<br />Harlot Queen by Hilda Lewis (1970, reissued 2008)<br />The She-Wolf by Maureen Peters (1985)<br />Woman into Wolf by Terry Tucker (1968)<br /> <br />There are numerous other novels starring Edward II and Isabella as the main characters, such as The Follies of the King by Jean Plaidy; Brittle Glory by Jean Evans; Paul Doherty’s Mathilde of Westminster series; Michael Jecks’ West country series; The Lion of Mortimer by Juliet Dymoke; The Vows of the Peacock by Alice Walworth Graham; Virginia Henley’s two novels Infamous and Notorious; A Secret Chronicle by Jane Lane; King’s Wake by Eve Trevaskis; and I could go on.
