New York Times best-seller Eleanor Herman offers a rare combination of skills for a historian – her research is intensely scholarly, yet she writes the story in a colorful, witty manner.

She has appeared on The National Geographic Channel's popular show, The Madness of Henry VIII, and has hosted shows for The History Channel's Lost Worlds program.

She is the author of Sex with Kings: 500 Years of Adultery, Power, Rivalry, and Revenge, Sex with the Queen: 900 Years of Vile Kings, Virile Lovers, and Passionate Politics, Mistress of the Vatican: The True Story of Olympia Maidalchine, the Secret Female Pope and most recently, Eleanor co-wrote King Peggy: An American Secretary, Her Royal Destiny, and the Inspiring Story of How She Changed an African Village.
