website = http://www.readcarolyn.com/best book beware,princess elizabethCarolyn Meyer (born 8 June 1935) is and author of novels for children and young adults.

The typical genre for her work is historical fiction, one of her more popular projects being the "Young Royals" series, which each tell the story of different female monarchs. One of Carolyn Meyer's recently published works "Duchessina", which is the story of the life of Catherine de' Medici.

Meyer's latest work published was "In Mozart's Shadow", a historical novel about Mozart and narrated by his older sister, Maria Anna Mozart, nicknamed Nannerl, and was released on June 1, 2008.

Meyer's 2009 historical novel project is "The True Adventures of Charley Darwin", and will focus on the life of Charles Darwin, quite a leap from her usual subjects, for she has gone from royalty, to European artists, and now to scientists. "The True Adventures of Charley Darwin" will also be unusual in that it breaks from Meyer's formula of always having a female narrator, as Charley will narrate his own story.

Meyer is also currently planning a project about Marie Antoinette for a release in 2010.
