I love this! I enjoy reading this era the most. Thanks for sharing. I hope you continue it. It's very well written and well researched.

Well researched? You think? That made me laugh. I researched nothing. Whatever seems realistic to whatever period this is suppose to be is only due to reading way too many romantic historic novels.
Thank you for finding it well written. :D That makes me really happy.

I wrote this in 2010 and it's a different imagining of a story I remember playing around with maybe already back in 2007 or something. The earlier 2007 version I only have on a print copy and is rather different but the idea is the same. Sadly, both incomplete cause I always sucked at finishing stories anywhere other than inside my own head.

This is good. I like it. I'm interested. I almost always like historical fiction. The challenge with these is to keep the plot fresh. Do you have more written?

Thanks, Song. To me it's always strange reading smth again, specially this old. It kinda feels like someone else wrote it.

I wrote little bits and pieces of different points in the story. I rarely write on a linear fashion, I have a tendency to skip ahead. I'll post it for you girls to have a look. It's incomplete but there's enough to understand the story.
I surrender to some clichés but did my best to make the story interesting.

wow, it reminded me of old good times when I was reading romance stories :) I would have put your part on the same line as Johanna Lindsey or Julie Garwood XD

I read tons and tons of those books. I used to buy them, borrow them, trade them, whatever.

I do believe I maybe still own some books by those two ladies back in my old house. The names are very very familiar.
My all time favourite remains Almost Heaven by Judith McNaught. This lil story picks up some elements from that and mixes in with others and whatever my head decided to add as well.

LOL. I thank you for the huge compliment, you are too kind. :)

I know what you are talking about :) May be I even read once the one you mentioned, but I do not remember them well. Those two I mentioned I remember only because they are authors of 2 pocket books I brought long-long ago from US as nothing of the sort was available at home. And I sill have them, but mostly as memento now ;) Plus Lindsey's heroine is not a typical damsel in distress and could hold her own and your Sara seems of the same sort

I don't like the princess in the castle tower waiting for Prince Charming. :D
Give a girl a chance to shine other than just being pretty.
