GIVEAWAY! My guest this week is award-winning, bestselling author Margaret Porter. Margaret’s fifteenth book, “The Myrtle Wand,” is a reimagined continuation of the famous ballet Giselle, set in 17th-century France and the court of Louis XIV. Her writing is lush and vivid and weaves together characters, both historic and fictional, into a compelling tale of love, heartrbreak, friendship, piety, royalty, and the supernatural. In our conversation, Margaret reveals what she learned about the orginal Giselle that inspired her to put pen to paper, what intrigued her about a teenage Louis XIV, how she blended historical fact with her own imaginings, and so much more.Margaret has also generously offered to give away an autographed copy of “The Myrtle Wand” to one lucky listener.
