From author Susan Higginbotham’s website, an article about novelist Jean Plaidy: The queen of historical fiction

Some of Jean Plaidy’s novels have recently been reissued and are available at Amazon.com.

Plaidy (also known as Eleanor Hibbert, Victoria Holt, and Philippa Carr) is largely responsible for the existence of the Royalty.nu site and this blog — her novels, along with those of Norah Lofts, helped inspire my interest in royal history.
