Julianne MacLean answered Nancy J's question: Where did you get the idea for Pembroke Palace? Is it based on the castle in Wales or another estate in the UK? Your details are beautiful! PS Thank you for using the wonderful Rosalyn Landor as your narrator in many books!! Hi Nancy! Pembroke Palace was inspired by Blenheim Palace in England. I spent a year living in London and we visited twice! And I agree that Rosalyn Landor is wonderful. I'm so happy to have her for so many of my books.
