Lynn Cullen-Critically acclaimed author, Lynn Cullen secured her place in the tradition of regal historical fiction with her last novel, The Creation of Eve (2010), which showcased her ability to "tackle the contradictions of the Renaissance and capture the dangerous spirit of the Inquisition while handling these vivid characters with prodigious control" (Washington Post). Now, Cullen visits the Golden Age of Spain in Reign of Madness (G.P. Putnam's Sons; Publication Date: August 4, 2011; ISBN: 978-0-399-15709-7; $25.95), a tale of love, madness, royal intrigue and marital betrayal set during the controversial reign of Juana of Castile-also known as Juana the Mad--one of the greatest cautionary tales in Spanish history.
