About the Author
Author of historical, contemporary and erotic romances, I fell in love with happily ever after the day I heard my first story. (Yes, I was a precocious little brat who read at the age of two, but I could hear much earlier than that.) I studied literature for far too many years before discovering that writing stories was much more fun than analyzing them. Heck, as an author, I get to read the story before anyone else. I am happily married to my sweetheart of many, many years. My husband and I share the home of two cats, who condescend to allow me to feed them and clean their litter box. (The cats only tolerate my husband’s assistance when I am not available.)They occasionally permit me to pet them but demand my love and attention as their right. (Funny, my husband demands the same. Could I be married to my cats? Does that make me a trigamist?) Regardless of my specific relationship status with our cats, I am in awe of their feline ability to dominate with half a glance or a mere twitch of tail. Insatiably curious, an avid reader and traveler, I love to hear from readers about your favorite books and real life adventures. Crazy Cat stories are especially welcome. You can send me your words of wisdom . . . Don’t shake your head at me; all words are wise in one context or another. You can trust me on this; I’m an author. As I was saying, you can send your words of wisdom, humor, and friendship to me at contact@RueAllyn.com. Can’t wait to hear from you.
Interview with Rue Allyn
Why did you write
this book?
this book?
I love the medieval period, and research into 1294 AD told
me about the resignation of Pope Celestine V. As we all know from recent events
the resignation of a Pope is fraught with opportunity for change. I write about
that kind of opportunity in Knight Errant.

What is your favorite
genre to read?

Any historical that takes place before 1900.
Who is your favorite
character from fiction (not including your own)?
character from fiction (not including your own)?
There are so many, I find choosing difficult. I think the
loathly lady (a character archetype) is probably my favorite because she is
full of surprises.

Lady Juliana Verault gladly left England—and its men—far
behind in her quest to live as a Beguine. But the Christian community ceases to
provide a safe haven when she’s called to travel to Palermo, Italy, where she’s
entrusted with a letter from the pope that could radically change the church’s
stance on women. Juliana holds the key to upending the power structure
throughout Europe, but only if she can dodge her cousin, King Edward I of
England, and his betrothal plans for her.

just a smile.
