Fiction
Gertrude Stein Pavilion
Two area authors present their latest novels of historical fiction. "Frieda's Song" by Ellen Prentiss Campbell tells the story of Frieda's Cottage in Rockville and the woman for whom it is named, famed German psychiatrist Dr. Frieda Fromm-Richmann. In "Finding Napoleon", Margaret Rodenberg inventively uses Napoleon Bonaparte's own unfinished novel to tell the story of the despot's rise to power, which she juxtaposes against the story of his last love affair.

Margaret Rodenberg
Latest Title: Finding Napoleon
Margaret Rodenberg’s award-winning novel, “Finding Napoleon” (She Writes Press, April 2021), includes an intriguing adaptation of Napoleon Bonaparte’s real attempt to write a romantic novel. Her passion for French history began when she lived in France as a young teen with her U.S. Navy family. An avid traveler who has visited more than 60 countries, she journeyed more than 30,000 miles to conduct Napoleonic research, including to St. Helena Island in the remote South Atlantic, where Finding Napoleon takes place. She’s a former businesswoman and a director of the Napoleonic Historical Society, a non-profit that promotes knowledge of the Napoleonic era.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
