This summer I have finally read The Diana Chronicles. It was not the best book on Diana a lot of it was things and quotes from all the previous books I have read about Diana. After reading the Chronicles I tackled another book called Blood Royal by Harold Robbins I seem to really enjoy the Diana fiction that has been released over the years. a lot of them were released when she was still with us and only one has been released after her death.These types of books are probably going to be collectors items as the years go by. If you are interested in reading them here is a list I have compiled so far.

Princess a Novel by Alan Brown ,1990 Summary:Charles and Diana are vacationing in Spain and Diana is kidnapped and Charles is due back in England and has to take a Diana look alike back with him in order to make it seem like everything is fine. But will he ever see Diana again? The Queen and I by Sue Townsend Summary:Townsend, author of the phenomenally successful Adrian Mole books, here brings off an audacious notion with considerable elan. She imagines a Britain where an unforgiving, newly elected Republican Party decides that the entire Royal Family must learn to live like other Britons--or in their case, like desperately poor lower-class Britons on a hideous housing estate in a provincial city. A notable farceur, Townsend has terrific fun imagining how they would cope: the Queen buckles down sturdily, mindful of stiff-upper-lip duty; Prince Philip goes to pieces and takes to his bed; Margaret remains a royal pain, perpetually and irritably in search of a cigarette; Diana haunts thrift shops for designer castoffs and snares a flashy West Indian boyfriend; Charles, infatuated with a zaftig neighbor, gets involved in a brawl and is jailed , while his organic garden goes to pieces; Anne copes stolidly, much helped by the gift of a horse--and the Queen Mum, never quite aware of what is happening, dies peacefully in her little bungalow, and has a splendid horse-drawn funeral in a home-made coffin. Meanwhile Harris, the Queen's corgi, runs wild with a pack of mongrels. Blood Royal By Harold Robbins Summary: Her Royal Highness, the Princess of Wales, was an ordinary young woman who was picked to be the future queen. Her wedding was a worldwide sensation. But she was deceived and betrayed before the honeymoon was over. Five months after a fairy tale wedding, she threw herself down a flight of stairs when she was pregnant with a future heir to the throne. Suicide attempts, illicit affairs, and paranoia that there were plots by the Royals to kill her became the norm as the fairy tale turned into a horror story. After suffering degradation and humiliation at the hands of her husband, the heir to the British throne, she shot him with one of his own antique pistols. Paranoid that her own attorneys would deceive her, the princess reaches across the Atlantic to hire someone she knows for certain has no ties to the Crown. Marlowe James is an American trial lawyer. Running away from an abusive home, she supported herself by working as a waitress, rising to become a famous trial lawyer. Marlowe James has been dubbed the "burning bed lawyer" by the news media because of her successful defense of women who killed their abusive husbands. And to top that, she was the accused in her first murder trial. Now she not only has to do battle in the Old Bailey with barristers loyal to the Crown, she has to come to grips with her own feelings about a woman who has been handed everything any woman would desire---and throws it all away. The explosive tale that will be exposed in the courtroom is one of jealous rage and unfulfilled desires, of sexual deceit by one of the most powerful men on earth---and the bloody revenge enacted by a woman scorned. His Lovely Wife, Elizabeth Dewberry Summary:The wife in question is blond, beautiful, 36-year-old Atlanta housewife Ellen Baxter, who, while accompanying her Nobel laureate husband, Lawrence, to a physics conference in Paris, is briefly mistaken by the paparazzi for "Lay Dee Dee." When Ellen's photo is snapped, it's as though not only her image is captured but also her soul, which becomes entwined with Diana's when the princess dies hours later in a car crash. Ellen, profoundly moved, pockets a picture of Diana at the makeshift memorial near the crash site and soon begins channeling her. With a husband as stiff as the cardboard that squares his starched Brooks Brothers shirts, Ellen tracks down a paparazzo who pursued Diana on her final night, hoping he can help her answer some of the questions that Diana, the definitive lovely wife, must have faced in her own empty marriage to an older man.
