I Have No Plans For A Future

I Realize That I Had Always In My Heart Of Hearts Planned To Write A Biography Of Marie Antoinette.

Her Imperturbable Self-confidence (duchesse De Maine) Caused Madame De Stael To Write That The Duchesse Believed In Herself The Same Way She Believed In God, Without Explanation Or Discussion.

The Concentration In My Book On Marie Antoinette's Childhood And On Her Family Influences. It Is Surprising How Some Books Actually Start With Her Arrival In France!

Ninety-seven Is My Lucky Number.

I Love Hearing Details Of Writers' Craft, As Cannibals Eat The Brains Of Clever Men To Get Cleverer.
