Hello, everyone!
With some help from Frances Mossiker, the editor of a fantastic book on the subject, as well as a lot of research on the time period, I've learned a lot about the Affair of the Diamond Necklace. I'm obviously fascinated by it--I'm writing a novel about it.
Heaven knows that writing a novel wasn't enough. I have to go and write a blog on it as well. I'll be exploring different people, things, and events pertinent to the Affair of the Diamond Necklace. I've begun with quick run-downs of the "Comtesse" and Cardinal Rohan. I'll probably go through most of the important people because they're all extraordinary. Then I'll work on different events and go into some detail. Then I will move on to the time period--costume and so forth.
I'm trying to keep it semi-entertaining as well as informative. I'm trying to add links to resources, especially giving credit where credit is due.
It's a hell of a story. Take a look and enjoy!
