Portsmouth, NH -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/23/2016 -- With the help of MindStir Media, Marian Powell has launched her novel, The Royal Rose of Alabama: The Gold Crown Pendant Affair (ISBN: 978-0988959583). The book has received rave reviews at Amazon, including one from Deborah Carlin: "Once you begin the journey into the pages, you enter another realm, a welcome world where the story grabs you and keeps your attention…"

From the back cover: In London, a crowd gathered to get a glimpse of Princess Elisabeth the Beautiful, Duchess of Kenton, as she rode in her gilded carriage along the parade route. As they threw flowers in her path, they had no idea that their Princess had a very strong will of her own. They loved their regal Queen Candis, but rumors were in the air that before long, they would claim the princess as their beautiful queen. During this same time, across the Atlantic, a part of America was celebrating Cotton as their King. However, things were changing fast, and Elisabeth the Beautiful and America the Beautiful would be wrestling with the changes. The Royal Rose of Alabama delves into the minds and decisions that had to be made for both.

"Mrs. Powell's book will appeal greatly to Alabamians – and any lover of historical fiction, really," said J.J. Hebert of MindStir Media, the author's publisher. "It's obvious that she's a master storyteller and her book will be enjoyed by many…"

The Royal Rose of Alabama: The Gold Crown Pendant Affair is available from MindStir Media at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million and other fine retailers worldwide. Wholesale orders can be placed from Ingram and Baker & Taylor.
