I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday period, wherever you are in the world, and I'd like to introduce myself....
I am Katerzzz, a History Undergrad living and studying in the UK. Since I was about 8, I've had an obsession with social history, and since about 10, an obsession with writing. So I thought I'd combine the two, writing historical fiction. But I am sharing with you guys first of all, my most beloved work which is actually Alternate History; E.A:
It is January 1936, and as King George V lays dying, his eldest son, the Prince of Wales and his wife Alice prepare to become the new King and Queen and take on the biggest roles of their lives, he as the leader of one of the world's most powerful nations, and she as the country's model wife and mother.
Edward, known as David, is the black sheep of his family; with the sense of duty and propriety held by his parents, King George and Queen Mary, making way for the devil may care attitude to life of the rich playboy. But one thing always stops him in his quest for mischief; the gravitational pull of his wife, Alice. But Alice herself is not without demons; overprotective of her son, unable to love her daughter and with very few friends she has isolated herself from society and from the only man that ever truly loved her regardless of what she was or wasn't. David and Alice are so alike that they repel one another as two needy, manipulative, childish individuals ; a marriage crafted for dynastic purpose has yielded to David's affairs and Alice's seeming blindness to them. War in 1937 tears them in two and it is one tragic event which finalises the last chapter in their story. They will always know the other's secrets. But. in the end, history will always remember them as Edward & Alice.
So yeah...that's the long summary, but basically it is Alt. History. Hope somebody has a look at it and enjoys it!
Much love!
Kate
