<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">Q:
What is the order of the Royal Scandals series? Are there more books planned?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">A:
To date, there are six full-length novels and three Christmas novellas in the
series. Each is designed to stand alone, as there are no cliffhangers from one

often talk about refilling the well between books. There’s a need to get away
from the computer to gain perspective and learn something new. Travel has
always done that for me, whether it's to a different part of the world or to the next state. Not only does travel provide fresh story ideas, I love having
the opportunity to experience a new culture, from its food to its architecture
to its etiquette and traditions. Learning about daily routines, clothing,
humor, the weather, even picking up the different sounds and smells…it goes far beyond visiting a few bucket list tourist sites. It's all a joy. </span><p></p>

interviewed the ever-wonderful Hollis McCarthy for my blog <a href="https://nikiburnham.blogspot.com/2015/10/eight-questions-for-audiobook-narrator.html" target="_blank">back in October 2015,</a> when she was in the midst of
recording the second book in the original Royal Scandals series, <a href="https://nicoleburnham.com/books/honeymoon-with-prince/" target="_blank">Honeymoon With a Prince</a>. Many books—and now a spinoff Royal Scandals series—later, I think
it’s time for an update. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5KWk36PNyNvpMZuTx9SwRc5lkIRhE0O552H8PZQG-ENOR682jkIt0NJQJrALStJYcwBCbgvPCV5vd1O6B0GrvgO2L2RgGh3ScChLsRMyy_4yEiI1d8z1Ovg5QS0Vec-_kEtQTyaVsodc/s1200/San+Rimini+Audio+Covers.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="628" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5KWk36PNyNvpMZuTx9SwRc5lkIRhE0O552H8PZQG-ENOR682jkIt0NJQJrALStJYcwBCbgvPCV5vd1O6B0GrvgO2L2RgGh3ScChLsRMyy_4yEiI1d8z1Ovg5QS0Vec-_kEtQTyaVsodc/s640/San+Rimini+Audio+Covers.png" width="640" /></a></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"><u>Nicole:</u> Hi Hollis! </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">Thank you for agreeing to answer a new round of
questions. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"></span>First
of all, as the series has expanded both in number of titles and in scope, what
has been the biggest challenge of performing these books? <br />
</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br />
<u>Hollis:</u> It’s tricky to keep the large families of characters from sounding too
much alike.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For instance, there were
identical twins in the Royal Scandals series and when they had dialogue, I did
the same voice for each but gave them different rhythms—one more
legato/sustained, one more staccato/intermittent. I even talked a bit out of
the left side of my mouth for one brother and the right side for the other.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"><u>Nicole:</u>
I can imagine you doing that! You have performed dozens of different characters
over the course of the two Royal Scandals series, everyone from security guards
to a gelato shop owner to kings and queens. You’ve even done a medieval knight.
Any favorites? Any characters that posed difficulty?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"><u>Hollis:</u>
The twins were tricky! I love the gossip monger, Val Dempsey, because she’s so shallow
and naughty and also…plummy British. My fave to voice is probably Queen
Fabrizia in Royal Scandals because she’s so mature, feminine, warm, motherly,
and yet strong and regal and not to be crossed! Loved the medieval knight scene
with the sword—we’re kinda sword crazy at our house. I totally fell in love
with King Eduardo in the <a href="https://nicoleburnham.com/books/fit-for-a-queen/" target="_blank">Royal Scandals: San Rimini</a> series, especially <a href="https://nicoleburnham.com/books/to-kiss-a-king/">To Kiss a King</a>. He was a
delight to voice, and the character arc you gave him was so lovely—he went
through a lot, which always makes for a great acting challenge. I also love
that you write strong, smart men who love strong smart women. Makes all the
characters fun to play! Claire was a treat in that book too. I enjoyed that
both of them were mature, accomplished career people and yet so carried away by
romantic love.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"><u>Nicole:</u>
Thank you! I admit, I loved writing about people who had separate romantic
histories and then delving into the complexities of them finding each other later
in life. I loved how you brought them alive in audio, too.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">Audiobook
technology has changed a great deal in the past five years. How has this
affected your work? Have there been changes in the way you prepare for your
performances or in </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">how you record?</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>

Th</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">e biggest </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">change for me has been setting up a Covid-necessitated home studio,
rather than going in </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">to NYC studios to record. That happened in March of this
year, hastily improvised due</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> to the lockdown, and we’ve been refining it ever
since. It’s basically a booth made of packing blankets around a shell of
acoustic foam, wit</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">h our new mic on a boom arm clamp</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">ed to a cloth-covered
desk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re actors who do stage combat </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">and Shakespeare, so when we needed some strong supports, my husband took the
blades off their hilts and…voila! The booth </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">is suspended from our two
broadsword blades, clamped to brackets screwed to the wall, and crossed by our
sabre blade on the outside. So we call it “Three Swords Studio!” We’ve invested
a lot in new equipment and learned a lot about software and recording
technology in the last few months. Necessity truly is the mother of invention. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"><u>Nicole</u>:
Three Swords does fine work. The recordings you’ve made there have been
phenomonal!</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">You’ve
also done a number of other projects since we began working together, ranging
from audiobooks to theater to television. (It was a kick to see you as a judge
on CBS’s Bull.) What other projects are on your plate?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"><u>Hollis:</u>
Right now in our industry, due to the pandemic, theater is shut down, film
isn’t happening and TV episodics are just now starting to cast and get ready
shoot again. We just invested in better video recording equipment to do
episodic auditions from home, as no casting studios are open. So voiceover has
been it, lately, and I feel so lucky to have the work, when so many of my
friends and colleagues are suffering. I’m incredibly grateful to report that I have
a lot of audiobooks lined up thru year’s end, and have done 24 this year
already. I did some fun roles in a big-time video game recently, but had to
sign an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) and can’t tell you about that until it
comes out. I’ve also done several full-cast projects for Audible this year. All
of which is to say a huge THANKS to swell authors like you, and to readers who
love audiobooks!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"><u>Nicole:</u>
That’s an amazing number, especially given the amount of prep work I know you
do for each recording. Yet with all that, you have another project in full
swing. What can you tell me about it?</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"><u>Hollis:</u>
My husband, the brilliant and funny Mark McCarthy, is writing a comic noir
mystery fictional podcast for me, set in Chicago, in which I play a tough
female private eye. We’ve recorded part of that and are shopping it around. That’s
a really fun self-created project I’m excited about!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The character is a riot—dry, tough, smart,
funny and “perfectly willing and able to snap your tibia in two places using
common objects found around the house.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"><u>Nicole:</u>
You’d make an intriguing private eye and I know enough about Mark’s work to
know it’ll be a tight, well-written script. I can’t wait to hear it!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">Thank
you, Hollis, for taking the time to answer questions and for all the time and
talent you’ve contributed to my audiobooks. It’s been a joy to work with you.
Can’t wait to send the next story your way!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"><u>Hollis:</u>
Thanks, Nicole! Love the wonderful world you’ve built in the Royal Scandals
series, and it’s always delightful to read your books!</span></p>

weekend I had the pleasure of joining Kim Fields' Instagram Live as a guest. The
chat was hosted by Kim’s lifestyle brand, <a href="https://refreshbykf.com" target="_blank">Refresh by KF</a>. Each month Refresh By
KF focuses on a different theme related to wellness, and for August it’s all about
the power of words. </span></p>

<span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;">Many
readers are familiar with BookFunnel, a service that allows authors and others
to deliver content directly to a reader's Kindle, iPad, Nook, Kobo ereader, or other device. I use
BookFunnel to send bonus reads like A Royal Scandals Wedding to <a href="https://nicoleburnham.com/new-events/" target="_blank">my newsletter</a> subscribers, because it allows them to select the format they prefer.</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;">Every
so often, I receive a question from a reader about how to retrieve a book they
downloaded from BookFunnel in the past, but have since deleted from their device.
It’s fairly straightforward.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

can use this page to redownload books you've received from BookFunnel in the past or to transfer books from one device to
another, say from your computer to your iPad or an Android smartphone. BookFunnel has a cloud reader that will enable you to read anywhere without
installing anything on your device—though they do have an app if you prefer—and
you can switch between reading on different devices without losing your place. </span></div>

innovative, life-saving medical devices, and in the process has become a
wealthy man. However, he harbors a deep secret: his mother was once the lover
of Sarcaccia’s King Carlo Barrali, and Rocco is the product of their secret
affair.<br />

Trained from birth to keep his royal parentage quiet, Rocco cannot even trust
his beloved wife with his secret, and his silence drives her away. When Justine
is kidnapped and held for ransom, he must risk everything—his siblings'
security, his life’s work, and the reputation of a royal family—to save the
woman he loves. But when he reveals his secret—and confronts a new, horrible
truth—will it end his marriage forever? </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

She’s about to discover the truth.</span></i></b><span style="color: #203864; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /><br />Prince Federico diTalora is all too aware of his dreaded nickname: Prince Perfect. He’s spent his life guarding his reputation, cognizant of the duty he owes his country and its citizens. But as a widower with two rambunctious boys, the strain of being an ideal son, father, and prince has pushed him to the breaking point.<br /><br />Pia Renati is in San Rimini to stay with her best friend, who’s pregnant and on bed rest. Faced with hours of downtime, Pia is tempted when Prince Federico, with his Mediterranean good looks and unimpeachable reputation, invites her to spend time with him and his two boys.<br /><br />As Federico and Pia chase the boys around the palace gardens, they find themselves drawing closer. Pia didn’t travel to San Rimini for romance—it’s the last thing she wants—though there’s no denying her attraction to Federico. But can she trust Prince Perfect with her heart, when she sees all too clearly the pain he hides from the world?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">(AKA:
The Story Behind the Royal Scandals: San Rimini Series)</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Once
upon a time, I worked as a freelance writer for several magazines. In my off hours, I wrote two
romantic suspense novels and submitted them to publishers. The feedback was
positive overall and the commentary from publishers boiled down to, “we like
your writing, you create believable characters, and the emotions feel real,
but…” There was the same “but” each time. The publishers enjoyed the romance, but weren’t completely sold
on the suspense elements in those two manuscripts.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I
decided to scrap those two stories and go back to the drawing board. I wanted to
write a larger than life story that played to my strengths. I was toying with
ideas one morning in front of the television when a royal wedding aired. I kept
flipping between wedding coverage and a story about families fleeing a war
zone. The contrast between the grandeur of the wedding and the desperation of
the refugees made me wonder what would happen if a member of the royal family
fell for a relief worker. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Could
two people from such different backgrounds make a relationship work? How would
they navigate living a private versus a public life? What could they learn from
each other? What would their friends and families think?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">(And
isn’t it interesting to watch Prince Harry and Meghan Markle negotiate those same
issues today?)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">From
that idea, <i>Going to the Castle</i> was born, as was the fictional country of
San Rimini. I’d traveled along the French Riviera and through Italy and knew I
could create a fascinating, realistic kingdom in that part of the world, one with a
rich history.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The manuscript was named a Golden Heart award finalist by the Romance Writers of America. I was offered a contract on its first
submission and it soon became my first published novel. To quote Monty Python, there was much rejoicing. Three more San Rimini books
followed: <i>The Prince’s Tutor</i>, <i>The Knight’s Kiss</i>, and <i>Falling
for Prince Federico</i>. I was thrilled when <i>The Knight’s Kiss</i> won a
number of awards, including the coveted RITA for best short contemporary romance.
(It’s never a bad day when you get to share a stage with Nora Roberts, Kristin
Hannah, and Lisa Kleypas.)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I
had plans for one more San Rimini book, <i>To Kiss a King</i>, but within days
of being offered a contract, my publisher was sold to another company. The usual corporate
upheaval ensued, and I decided to table the project for a time when I knew it would
not become a victim of departmental realignments.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">When
I began writing the Royal Scandals series, set in fictional Sarcaccia, I had
the San Rimini stories firmly in mind. The two kingdoms exist in the same world,
and I knew that—due to the aforementioned publisher upheaval—the San Rimini books
would soon revert to my control. So as I wrote about Sarcaccia, I dropped in little
bits about San Rimini. I also started plotting a book that would bring the two kingdoms
together: <i>Fit for a Queen.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">When
the San Rimini books officially became mine again, I dove into writing <i>Fit
for a Queen</i>. (Note: As I was writing, my DC/Marvel fan husband kept
referring to the manuscript as <i>The Big Crossover Event </i>in a voice suited
for a TV ad. I kept reminding him that my story stands on its own and that few
comic-inspired crossovers do. Many crossover discussions ensued.)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Then,
rather than simply republish the four original San Rimini books, I gave each
story a full rewrite and expanded them. I knew that for most Royal Scandals
readers, these would be completely new stories. I wanted the reading experience
to feel seamless. I was also able to put the series in audio for the first time. <a href="http://www.mccactors.com/" target="_blank">Hollis McCarthy</a>, who narrates the original Royal Scandals series, also narrates Royal Scandals: San Rimini. Her performance blows me away every time I listen.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">After
that, I finally had the opportunity to dig into the story I’d been compelled to
set aside, <i>To Kiss a King</i>. There’s something special about writing a
story that isn’t often told. <i>To Kiss a King</i> features the push/pull of
public versus private lives and the struggle of weighing duty against desire, which factors in many of my stories. However, it also follows a later in life romance with a special set of challenges.
Can a man known worldwide as a romantic icon truly fall in love with someone else? Would a woman at the pinnacle of her career risk it all for that relationship?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Going
back to San Rimini has been a joy for me. I love the diTalora family and their
world. I hope you do, too.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> The Oscars are
here! If you haven’t seen many (or any) of this year’s films, you'll need a cheat
sheet for your office pool or Sunday night Academy Awards party. I win my pool
more often than not and it’s a rare year when I don’t finish in the top three.

<div style="layout-grid-mode: char;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Once Upon a
Time…in Hollywood</span></div>
<div style="layout-grid-mode: char;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Parasite</span></div>
<div style="layout-grid-mode: char;">
<br /></div>
<div style="layout-grid-mode: char;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">There’s talk
for The Irishman, but wow…did it feel <i>long</i>, which will cost the film
votes. This is a contest between 1917, Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood (both of
which won Best Picture Golden Globes, in Drama and in Musical/Comedy
respectively), and Parasite, which has swept the international awards and has
earned raves worldwide. Though I haven’t yet seen Parasite—it’s on my must-see
list—my personal pick between 1917 and Once Upon a Time would be 1917. I loved its
depth of emotion and single-shot style, which made me feel like I was weaving
through the trenches and left dangerously exposed in No Man’s Land right along
with the main characters. But man…Hollywood <i>loves</i> to analyze and laugh
at itself, and that’s Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood.</span></div>
<div style="layout-grid-mode: char;">
<br /></div>
<div style="layout-grid-mode: char;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I’ve
flip-flopped endlessly on this category. Since the Academy went to ten nominees in
this category, it's tougher to predict the winner, and the statue
hasn’t gone to a frontrunner as often as it has in the past (hello, Moonlight.)
This year, the frontrunner is 1917. The spoiler would be Parasite. I’m going to take what
shouldn’t be a risk, but feels like one given recent Academy history: 1917.</span></div>
<div style="layout-grid-mode: char;">
<br /></div>
<div style="layout-grid-mode: char;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">But I'll note: my husband picked Parasite. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Loved, loved

<div style="layout-grid-mode: char;">
<br /></div>
<div style="layout-grid-mode: char;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Trivia game answer of the night: Pitt is the only nominee in this category who
doesn’t already have a statue in an acting category (though he does have one as a producer on 12 Years a Slave.)</span></div>

<div style="layout-grid-mode: char;">
<br /></div>
<div style="layout-grid-mode: char;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Last year,
Vegas had Glenn Close as the heavy favorite, but Olivia Colman walked away with
the man of gold (yes, I called it!) This year, I’m going with the favorite:
Renée Zellweger. She became Judy Garland. If you feel like picking a spoiler,
Scarlett Johannson is your best choice, but I wouldn’t.</span></div>
<div style="layout-grid-mode: char;">

<div style="layout-grid-mode: char;">

<div style="layout-grid-mode: char;">
<br /></div>
<div style="layout-grid-mode: char;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">This is where I
must mention that I desperately want to see Jojo Rabbit, but it isn’t playing
near me. Every time I see a trailer, I laugh. It looks <i>amazing</i> and the
reviews for Johansson’s performance are phenomenal. But this is a lock for
Laura Dern. She’s swept all the earlier awards in this category.</span></div>

<div style="layout-grid-mode: char;">
<br /></div>
<div style="layout-grid-mode: char;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">This is a tough
category. There’s a lot of love for Tarantino amongst Academy members and
Parasite’s success has garnered a lot of attention for Bong Joon Ho’s work. But
Mendes won the Directors’ Guild Award and the Golden Globe. I’m going with
Mendes. If you’re in the mood to make a spoiler-ish pick, it’d be Bong Joon Ho.</span></div>

the nostalgic recreation of Hollywood, which managed to evoke both its grit and
its glamour.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="layout-grid-mode: char;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Action movies
like Fury Road, which won six Academy Awards including statues for visual
effects and production design, make me think that Ford v Ferrari has a serious
shot here. Revving engines, quick cuts, and squealing tires will do that. But
I’m going for the bombs and earth-shaking trench collapses of 1917. Sound has
the power to elicit emotion, and in 1917 it was wildly effective.</span></div>

gut instinct and brief glimpses with these picks. I’m more confident in Hair
Love than in my choice of The Neighbors’ Window, though. Oddsmakers keep shifting between
The Neighbors’ Window and Brotherhood. Frankly, I like the concept of Nefta
Football Club, a French film that’s more lighthearted than the rest of the

Original Song performance; 2) viewers will be shocked—shocked!—that Renée
Zellweger sounds Texan; and 3) the In Memoriam presentation will get a massive cheer for Kirk
Douglas, who passed away earlier this week at the age of 103. He more than earned one.</span></div>

<div style="layout-grid-mode: char; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">

watch her.</span></i></b></div>

<div style="layout-grid-mode: char; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Daniela D’Ambrosio is the most trusted employee of
Sarcaccia’s Queen Fabrizia, managing the queen’s schedule and ensuring she
never makes a misstep in public. But when Fabrizia sends Daniela to organize
the belongings of San Rimini’s late queen for a charity auction, Daniela finds
a locked closet full of treasure, a suspicious king, and an attractive handyman
who seems strangely familiar.</span></i></div>
<div style="layout-grid-mode: char; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="layout-grid-mode: char; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Following a harrowing stint in the military, Royce
Dekker now runs his own security firm in San Rimini. When he goes undercover to
safeguard the late queen’s possessions, Royce learns that the woman organizing
the auction project is none other than Daniela D’Ambrosio, the stunning beauty
who’s fueled his late-night fantasies ever since their stolen night under the
stars.</span></i></div>
<div style="layout-grid-mode: char; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="layout-grid-mode: char; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">When Daniela recognizes Royce, she realizes there is
more to the palace job than she was told. But can she trust the sexy man
standing guard over her as she works? Or will Royce discover that Daniela also
has secrets to uncover?</span></i></div>

the Scenes info, which will be posted to my website shortly. In the coming

audiobook listener? If so, now’s the time to grab <a href="https://nicoleburnham.com/books/a-royal-scandals-christmas/" target="_blank">A Royal Scandals Christmas</a>.

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I never used to
listen to audiobooks. I’m a visual person, and wasn’t sure I’d get the same
enjoyment from hearing a story as I do from holding a book in my hands. A
friend convinced me to give them a try, and I was hooked. Now I listen while driving,
walking the dog, doing yardwork, and pretty much any time I can’t hold a book
but want to. A great narrator helps, and I’m fortunate to have the fabulous Hollis
McCarthy performing the Royal Scandals series. She’s amazing.</span></div>

find them and they’ll assist you.</span></div>
