Great Britain with me, in my book, Rain Dodging: A Scholar’s Romp thought Britain in Search of a Stuart Queen. Follow the history of beautiful 17-century Italian princess, Maria of Modena, only 14-years of age when forced to leave her homeland forever, a religious pawn, to marry the future British King, James II, 25-years her senior. What does she do? Why, she develops a female court of artists and writers, very usual for her time. Learn how her late Stuart court intersects with the evolution of feminist history.
Along a parallel arc, experience my zany, though sometimes terrifying, life adventures. My cast includes a schizophrenic lover who plays a devastating hoax, a charismatic multi-millionaire golf champion, a famous fashion designer–oh, and one unhinged mother to complete the crazy.
