I'm so glad you enjoyed it.<br /><br />And to answer your question: Very little information is to be had about Sanchia and Beatrice. Reading biographies of both their husbands didn't yield much, either. Beatrice was only a queen for a couple of years before she died, and Sanchia wasn't much of a queen at all, living in England and hating Germany as she did.<br /><br />As for the tense, I chose third-person present because I liked the sense of immediacy that it added to the story. As a reader, it made me feel as if I were really there.Sherry Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14643364381016681128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091584537195738879.post-21005657864407719282012-08-08T20:40:11.406-04:002012-08-08T20:40:11.406-04:00Third person present tense does take some getting ...Third person present tense does take some getting used to, but it really works for some stories.<br /><br />This one sounds great!
