Historical Virtual Book Tour Presents....
Isabella Unashamed
by Helen R. Davis and Carolina Casas
Isabella of Castile is
known as Europe’s first great queen. Renowned for her marriage to Ferdinand of
Aragon and birthing of modern day Spain, Isabella is also known as the queen
who launched the Inquisition, completed the Reconquista and expelled the Jews
from her nation. Not long after her triumph in 1492, her dynasty came apart and
unraveled, and it was whispered by many that the Trastamara line was cursed.
But, What if Isabella
had been wiser and not expelled the Jews, some of the very people who
ironically helped put her on the throne of Castile? What if Isabella had had
more foresight and had her successor be Catalina, who, although the youngest,
was the most like her and the wisest of her children? How would the power
balance of 15th and 16th century Europe shifted if Catalina had been the
powerful queen regnant of Spain and not one of the ‘merry wives’ of Windsor?
A joint effort,
Isabella Unashamed is written by two authors from very different cultural
backgrounds who have nonetheless joined together to create a haunting portrait
of Spain’s most famous queen, as well as a glimpse of what might have been had
Isabella been wiser.

more information, please visit Helen Davis’ website. You can also connect with

Carolina
Casas has a BA in History and a minor in women’s studies.
Her
debut novel “Isabella Unashamed” was co-written with the author of “Cleopatra
Unconquered” & “The Most Happy”, Helen R. Davis and it is a powerful
alternative historical novel that asks the important question that has been on
everyone’s mind: what-if? What if Isabella had taken a different route than the
one she did following the surrender of Granada at the beginning of 1492.
A
young woman who enjoys life and giving to others, she is also a self-proclaimed
nerd who currently resides in the lone star state of Texas where she spends her
free time writing, drawing, reading about her favorite historical subjects and
watching classical horror and rom-coms with her friends.
Carolina’s
journey into the realm of alternate history began when she was very little.
After a frightful and sleepless night, she was introduced to the legend of King
Arthur and his knights through Sir Thomas Mallory’s epic “Le Morte d’Arthur”
which started her fascination with the medieval period and later with other
eras. This, along with her curiosity, has led her to delve into the realm of
alternate history.
Carolina
has several pages on Facebook where she works alongside other history buffs and
novelists (Tudor
Nerds with Glasses and Tudor Facts vs. Fiction),
as well as a history
blog where she shares her thoughts on movies and TV shows as well.
