Virginia Rounding's Interests
|
| General | Good fiction in English and French. Russian history and literature. Poetry. Religion and the history of ideas. | | Music | Herbert Howells, Ivor Gurney, Moeran, English pastoral in general, Monteverdi, Bach, Tallis, Byrd | | Television | Hardly ever watch any. I like the occasional murder mystery and also admit to watching The Apprentice. | | Books | Click here to read about books by me. | | Heroes | The late Pope John Paul II, who demonstrated how it's possible to be holy without necessarily being right all the time (not that's that what he would have thought himself!). Which rather proves my point. |

Virginia Rounding's Blurbs |
About me:
I am an author and biographer. My latest book is Catherine the Great: Love, Sex and Power which deals with Catherine the woman, her loves, interests, the things which made her laugh, how she became the person she was, her family and friends, and the life of the court of St Petersburg in the 18th century. I've also written a book on French courtesans, and co-authored three books on aspects of church administration. Plus I review books for the Sunday Times, the Sunday Telegraph, the Guardian and the Independent.
Look out for more details on my TypePad blog.

Who I'd like to meet:
Other writers, readers and lovers of history. I'd particularly like to meet other writers who are as frustrated as I am by the inability of publishers to market and sell books (an inability which they invariably blame on authors) - and work out what we might collectively do about it.
