[Note from Frolic: We’re stoked to have author Kristen Proby guest post on the site today. Her new royal romance, Enchanting Sebastian, is out now!]
I’ve wanted to write a royal book for YEARS. More years than I can count, actually. I’ve devoured all of the royal novels I could get my greedy little hands on, and let me tell you, there aren’t enough of them out there.
I mean, there are quite a few, but as far as I’m concerned, there are never enough.
My obsession with the royal family began when I was six years old and my mother woke me up in the wee hours of the morning to watch the Royal Wedding. Princess Diana, with her gorgeous tiara and 25-foot train was a sight I’ll never forget. That dress! Gah, there was just nothing like it.
My mom pointed out all of the members of the royal family, and explained who was who, how they were related.
I remember, as we watched with rapt attention, falling in love with fairy tales, right then and there.
And now, here I am, writing a dirty variety of fairy tales for a living. It’s funny how things work out, isn’t it?
I can honestly say that I’ve set my alarm for the middle of the night and watched every televised royal wedding since Princess Diana and Prince Charles, and every time, I make an event out of it.
Tea? Check.
Scones? Check.
I text with my friends, who are also obsessed with the royals, and we talk about the guests, who’s wearing what, and the HATS!!
Oh my goodness, the British do have a way with hats, don’t they?
Just typing this makes me wish for a royal engagement, so I could get ready to watch another wedding.
I think it was after watching Harry and Meghan wed last year that the idea of a royal trilogy set in my Big Sky universe began to take root in my mind. And once Sebastian introduced himself, it was full speed ahead!
So, while I wait for a royal announcement, let’s chat about other royal books that I’ve enjoyed. In fact, if you haven’t read these, you MUST rush out and grab a copy!
