  1. I loved reading Desiree, the historical novel about Bonapartes first love, Eugene Clary, who later became queen of Sweden (she showed him!). I also saw the movie with Marlon Brando as a convincing Napoleon. It ignited a love of history that has given me great interests and pleasure all my life. I was constantly reprimanded in 4th grade for READING all the time (can you imagine punishing kids for wanting to read today?!). Luckily, it had no effect on me, and I became a writer so I could continue reading at home all day while telling people I'm busy writing my novel...

  2. They are a grand old family! There was a brand new book released, this year I think, that is about Betsey B. Look on Amazon. The Patterson family were well liked and even though they were somewhat overshadowed by Jerome and the rest of the Bonaparte's, they were great in their own right. I love seeing people in the comments who are related to historical events and families, it brings history right into the 21st century!
