Personal highlights from your literary year:
This was the year when I finished and submitted my second Catherine the Great novel, Empress of the Night. It will be out in March, 2014, in Canada and the States. It is already out, in translation, in Germany and doing really well. Freed from Catherine, I've began writing my new novel, still untitled, inspired by Russian emigres in Paris, specifically by Bronislava Nijinska, Vaslav's Nijinsky's sister, a dancer and choreographer in her own right. She choreographed Les Noces, by Stravinsky for Ballet Russe.
This new novel allowed me to read about ballet, and to watch a lot of ballet. I am still learning a lot, but I am quite an expert on the 20s now.
