Nancy Affleck McKenzie (February 19, 1948) is an American author of historical fiction. Her primary focus is Arthurian legend.〔 〕
==Publishing career==
McKenzie published ''The Child Queen'' in 1994, and its sequel, ''The High Queen'', a year later.〔 ''The Child Queen'' won "Discovery of the Year" from Del Rey Books in 1993, and the Washington Irving Medal from Westchester Library Association, NY the following year.〔 The two novels were combined into ''Queen of Camelot'' in 2002. McKenzie wanted to rediscover Guinevere in her true fifth century environment.〔 "I decided to write about Guinevere because I never understood her. I wanted to make her into someone a 20th-century person could understand," McKenzie said in an interview.〔
Two sequels followed, ''Grail Prince'' and ''Prince of Dreams'', following by two Young-Adult novels, ''Guinevere's Gift'' and ''Guinevere's Gamble''. ''Prince of Dreams'' tells the story of Tristan and Iseult, and takes place after King Arthur's death. One reviewer wrote of the novel, McKenzie "explores the vulnerability of women in a violent and patriarchal society".〔
McKenzie recently stated "Thus far, my published books are all Arthurian adventures/ romances, but I am deeply interested in ancient Egyptian culture and hope to write an archaeologically up-to-date life of Akhenaten in the near future".〔
