What makes an author want to write?
I don’t know about other authors but I write because I love
to tell stories. I love asking what if and
nothing fascinates me as much as the true tale of the Romanovs.
The Romanovs lived a fairytale existence, while Nicholas II
ruled Russia,
an empire that stretched over one sixth of the earth. The Imperial Family
consisted of Nicholas’ wife, Alexandra, his four daughters, Olga, Tatiana,
Maria and Anastasia, and his son, Alexei, Residing in a multiple of
breathtaking palaces, they vacationed at their country estates, sailed in their
private yacht and attended the opera and Imperial Balls. One can hardly imagine
the pomp, the opulence, the extravagant luxury, the sophisticated clothes and
the priceless jewelry that defined their world.
And while the Romanovs were living such a lavish life, the
peasants in Russia
were slaving in the fields, starving to death and fighting wars without weapons
and warm clothing.
It is difficult to predict what might have happened if fate
hadn’t dealt the Romanovs a stunning blow. Their only son, Alexei, heir to the
throne, was born with hemophilia. The slightest bump could kill him. And
according to Alexandra, his mother, there was only one man who could save her
son’s life.
An insane monk by the name of Rasputin.
