Doomed Queens publication launch!

October 28 was DOOMED QUEENS’ official publication date! The day was marked by a small party for all the talented people who helped me create this book. Here I am with my wonderful editor Kris Puopolo and agent Theresa Park. I feel so fortunate to work with such amazingly talented and caring woman.

Take a look inside Doomed Queens!

Random House has just posted this very cool widget for DOOMED QUEENS. It offers a juicy preview of it — take a look!


Yesterday was the official Doomed Queens launch and publication date! I have a post incubating about it, but in the meantime, check out Diane’s post. Diane modeled for my Catherine of Aragon drawing, and was one of the “queens” in attendance at the launch party.

DOOMED QUEENS: Royal Women Who Met Bad End
book discussion and signing by Kris Waldherr

Throughout history, women who have gained power have had a really unfortunate way of losing it. Though these days, few female rulers are beheaded, die in childbirth, or forced into political marriages as they once were, the cautionary example of the Doomed Queen still thrives. The 2008 election have made it clear that things haven’t changed much for women in power, despite Hillary Clinton’s “18 million cracks in the glass ceiling” — or the nomination of Sarah Palin, an Alaskan beauty queen, as the Republicans’ first female vice president.

During this event, Kris will discuss five ways Sarah Palin may yet be a Doomed Queen. She’ll also sign copies of Doomed Queens. Arrive early for a chance at an exclusive Doomed Queens gift package!

Tarot for Obama

The fundraiser is taking place tomorrow! We’re almost completely booked up with rsvp’s, so it should be a successful event.

Many thanks to Elizabeth Genco, Diane Saarinen, Karen Williams, Christina Ambrosino, Amy Saidens, Marla Lombard, Jeanette Gonzalez, Tom Miller, Karen Zuegner, and others who have helped, donated time and art, and so much more. I’m excited to help transform Washington (albeit in a very small and humble way).
