This is turning out to be quite a year for new historical fiction authors! The Queen's Pawn is Christy English's first book (her second will be out in April of 2011...check out her website). Would you like to win a copy? I thought you might!
A historical novel of the legendary Eleanor of Aquitaine and the one person she loved more than power—her rival for the throne.
At only nine, Princess Alais of France is sent to live in England until she is of age to wed Prince Richard, son of King Henry II and Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine. Alais is an innocent pawn on the chessboard of dynastic marriage, her betrothal intended to broker an uneasy truce between the nations.
Estranged from her husband, Eleanor sees a kindred spirit in this determined young girl. She embraces Alais as a daughter, teaching the princess what it takes to be a woman of power in a world of men. But as Alais grows to maturity and develops ambitions of her own, Eleanor begins to see her as a threat—and their love for each other becomes overshadowed by their bitter rivalry, dark betrayals, conflicting passions, and a battle for revenge over the throne of England itself.

Sounds like another good one. I would like to be included. I have you listed on my blog roll - not sure if that counts as following! dfluharty at uwf dot com.
This is one of those books that's making me give my TBR mountain ranges the evil eye. Since the books aren't responding to my evil eye, there's no need to enter me (sigh).
I'm dropping in, then, to say thanks for the e-mail. I've got this posted at Win a Book.
No need to enter me for this one, either (oh, you're killing me!). I've got to be content posting about it at Win a Book and sharing my book envy with the world...
Thanks for the e-mail! This is actually more fun and less whiny than it may be coming across.
Haven't read too much about Eleanor, it looks great! Thanks for the chance to win!
