One of those women was Aimée Dubucq de Rivery, an unknown cousin of the Empress Josephine. Zia became instantly fascinated by the young woman and began searching for more information. Very little existed. However, reading books about the Ottoman sultans and their Empire were equally fascinating and soon became staples in Zia’s literary repertoire.
The desire to tell Aimée’s story haunted Zia for twenty-five years, throughout her entire career in the natural cosmetics industry. During that time she authored nine books on natural health and beauty and a few years after she retired in 1998, she finally began to write what would become The Veil and the Crown series: The Stolen Girl and The French Sultana.view less
