LUV LUBKER

"To see Germany great, not only with the sword, but in all that is right and good." - Vicky, Princess Royal & Crown Princess of Prussia

All About Me

Luv Lubker has lived in the Victorian era half her life, making friends with the Bronte sisters and the extended family of Queen Victoria. Now she knows them quite as well as her own family.

Born in a cattle trough in the Appalachian mountains, Luv lives in Texas - when she comes to the modern world.

When she isn't living in the Victorian era, she enjoys being with her family; making and eating delicious raw food, riding her bike (which she only learned to ride at 25 though she ridden a unicycle since she was 7), and watching animals - the passion of her childhood.

"I always have a very good central idea and a fairly good idea of what the ending will be, but the rest flows out as if someone takes over my fingers and mind, I never quite know what adventures will develop." - Brian Jacques, author of Redwall and The Castaways of the Flying Dutchman series.

From acclaimed Victorian historical author, Luv Lubker, the author of "Under His Spell" comes the continuing romance of the Princess Royal Victoria and Frederick III of Prussia.

Vicky's father, Albert, the Prince Consort, has just died, leaving her and her family under a heavy cloud of grief, without their dearest friend and advisor, at a most critical time: The political horizon grows dark with storm clouds at the entry of Bismarck to Germany's political stage in 1862.Will Fritz's courage stand the test as he confronts the spider in its web? Is Prussia really fighting for the rights of the Schleswig people, or is so much blood being shed for the sake of Prussia's aggrandizement? Join Vicky and Fritz on their journeys under the blue cloudless skies of the Mediterranean to the peaceful heather-clad hills of the Highlands of Scotland; to the burning heat of the North African desert to the raging blizzards of a winter war in Denmark. When Vicky's closest friend disappears, will she be able to keep the secret? Will old enemies prove to be friends, and old friends prove to be enemies?

Book Excerpt

But we were not the only human creatures in this room. On the other end of the sofa where the little girls sat was a little creature with big eyes – my big eyes except for the color – staring out knowingly at the world as I used to do.

Dear beautiful Baby – beautiful in spite of red hair and green eyes which speak so plainly of your heritage from Großpapa – I shall never know what you grow up to be, never hear of you again in our common lives. But I shall dream of you, dream I know how you grow and develop each day. You’ll never be a stranger to me, only I won’t know what you do with yourself, or if you still share this beautiful, cruel world with me.

Sometimes I think you will dream of me, too, perhaps? But why would you, dear Baby? But when I look into your eyes – I know, I know! I dream of many things which no one believes I could possibly remember, from when I was your contemporary (I don’t think that’s the right word).

How I wish you could share all these loves with me, but I will never again see your dear eyes light up as I place a rose – stripped, of course, of its thorns – in your dear baby hands, and hear your dear baby laugh. But my love goes with you, out into the beautiful world.
