The typical genre for her work is historical fiction, one of her more popular projects being the Young Royals series, each novel of which tells the story of a different female royal and crown princess of her home country; either Egypt, England, Italy, Scotland, Austria and France. For example, one of Carolyn Meyer's recently published works is Duchessina, which is the story of the troubled childhood and young adulthood of Catherine de' Medici. Her most recent novel in the Young Royals is Victoria Rebels which is about the teenage Victoria of Kent. Early lifeBorn as an only child in Lewistown, Pennsylvania, Meyer began her first "novel," Humpy the Caterpillar and Gladys the Snail: A True Life Romance at age eight. However, she completed only three chapters.[1] CareerMeyer's latest work published is Beauty's Daughter: The Story of Hermione and Helen of Troy, published October, 2013. Her previous published work was The True Adventures of Charley Darwin, focusing on the life of Charles Darwin, quite a leap from her usual subjects, for she has gone from royalty, to European artists, and now to scientists. The True Adventures of Charley Darwin is unusual in that it breaks from Meyer's formula of always having a female narrator, as Charley narrates his own story. The hardcover version of this book was published on 26 January 2009.[2][3] Before Darwin came In Mozart's Shadow, a historical novel about Mozart and narrated by his older sister, Maria Anna Mozart, nicknamed Nannerl, released in 2008.[4] Meyer began working on a novel about Mary, Queen of Scots in 2012.[5] Personal lifeMother to three grown sons, she resides in Albuquerque, New Mexico, her husband, E.A. "Tony" Mares, a New Mexico poet, essayist and historian, and emeritus professor at the University of New Mexico died 30 Jan 2015.[1] Novels
