Despite Lyuba's best efforts, she hasn't managed to get herself kicked out the #brideshow. Soon she'll be face-to-face with #ivantheterrible. No wonder she's worried! #histfic #romance #1500s

Ah, the stakes are rising. Someone really, really wants to come out on top in that #brideshow. #ivantheterrible may be, well, terrible, but he's still the tsar.... @cplesley #HistoricalFiction #histfic #Romance fivedirectionspress.com/song…

He looks like a nice guy—and he is—but not as the husband of a 16-year-old! fivedirectionspress.com/song… @cplesley

It's that or show up in the Kremlin and risk being selected by the tsar. But displeasing #ivantheterrible has its costs.... @cplesley #HistoricalFiction fivedirectionspress.com/song…
