Good luck!

Empress of the Night: A Novel of Catherine the Great--here are some early reviews I'd love to share:

…ambitious…structurally complex and psychologically intense Empress of the Night aims for Hilary Mantel. Stachniak’s writing is distinct, however, especially in vivid description of sensory details: perfume, sweat and the click of heels on polished floorboards.--Quill & Quire (Canada)

Empress of the Night … casts light on Catherine’s life with unflinching honesty and intimacy. This fun novel of lovers, intrigue and malicious and manipulative nobility keeps readers enthralled with every page…--Virtuoso Life Magazine (US)

Stachniak’s absorbing novel opens readers’ hearts to an extraordinary and misunderstood woman …wonderfully written, Stachniak’s story vibrates with passion, drama, and intrigue. This is a feast for fans.-- Romantic Times Magazine (US)

…historical fiction fans will appreciate this personal account of a formidable and, indeed, infamous ruler. --Library Journal (US)

And a link to my UK interview on The Bibliophibian:

So much of publicity for a newly published book is happening in cyberspace! This is why I've prepared this short update of the latest blogs that have hosted me or Empress of the Night on three continents.

Enjoy!

The School of Mirrors will be released on February 22 in Canada (Doubleday) and the US (William Morrow.)

It is always a tense time, for the author, especially since the pandemic has made many in-person events impossible. It is a bit like letting your child move out, become independent. All a parent can do is to trust that the child is strong and resilient enough to succeed.

To learn more of the book please drop by my website http://www.evastachniak.com where you can listen to the beginning of the first chapter narrated by wonderful Ell Potter.

My mother did not tell me much...

And--if you live in Canada--you can enter a book giveaway and win a copy of The School of Mirrors.
