    SAMPLE EXCERPT:
    “What was the inspiration behind the creation of this book?”

    Catherine the Great, one of history’s powerful women, has had rumors that scandalized more than a few numbers of her numerous memoirs through the years since she died. But Robert Massie didn’t choose to write about Catherine to confirm - or squash rumors about her nymphomania or her secret babies or her purported romp with a horse. He wrote about Catherine the Great because he was, very simply, enthralled with the story of her life.
    At first, he wasn’t interested about her at all when a close friend suggested he write about her. He knew there were a lot of writers who’d written about her already and he rather wanted to write about an obscure personality who’s got a good life to offer and can trigger his passion of writing a biography like he was writing a novel.

    -------

    Don't miss out! It's highly recommended.
