A Cloud of Fraud by Linda Ferreri

Perhaps the suspicion of fraud enhances the flavor. C. S. Forester

Good signs so far!

The early readers of Isabella in Red are saying mighty good things. Good job, Linda! Even better than the last one! This is good news, and I thank them. I, too, confess that I like this book. The story is more psychological, I guess.

Isabella d’Este herself was quite a character. She was exceedingly vain, rich, power-hungry, controlling, and acquisitive. It was not always a lovely experience to deal with her, it seems. So much the better for the reader. We wonder about her, her big red velvet dress and how the correspondence back and forth between her and Titian must have gone.

My new website is not yet live, but that’s because there are transitioning elves at work in cyberspace. Soon. I’m thinking about moving my blog over there to LindaFerreri.com. That would make sense, but I like this website because I am especially fond of the painting on the cover, the Mary Magdalene in the Rijksmuseum by Carlo Crivelli.

Reviewers and book bloggers are very very welcome. I will be happy to send the digital version of Isabella in Red immediately. Blogs and reviews help readers. They want to know what they are about to read. Me too.
