Hi everyone! Today I am super excited to be participating in the Victoria Rebels Blog Tour, hosted by the awesome Mod Podge Blog Tours. I really enjoy her tours, so make sure you go check her out! Before I started blogging I loved reading Carolyn Meyer's books. I was really into historical fiction, especially about famous queens like Queen Elizabeth and Marie Antoinette, and I'm so excited to read Meyer's new books! So today I have an awesome interview wit Carolyn Meyer herself, and an epic giveaway!

Goodreads / Purchase
Queen Victoria’s personal journals inform this captivating first-person account of one of history’s most prominent female leaders.
Queen Victoria most certainly left a legacy—under her rule as the longest reigning female monarch in history, the British Empire was greatly expanded and significant industrial, cultural, political, scientific, and military changes occurred within the United Kingdom. To be a young woman in a time when few other females held positions of power was to lead in a remarkable age—and because Queen Victoria kept personal journals, this historical novel from award-winning author Carolyn Meyer shares authentic emotional insight along with accurate information, weaving a true story of intrigue and romance.

~Author Interview~
Now we're on a favorite subject: food. I love to cook. I consider myself the Queen of Flan, and I make a luscious arroz con leche. When my son married a British girl, I baked a Victoria Sponge at her request--it was one of the queen's favorites. I hardly ever eat ice cream. I live fairly close to a zoo, and often I hear Cosmo the Lion roaring when I'm out for my 6 am walk. Forget about house cats when you can hear a lion roar! There is no such thing. Depends on the day, the hour, the month, the year…and my mood.
