Whitehall is a royal tale full of true history and sensual intrigue. Set in the 17th century court of King Charles II and his queen, Portuguese Princess Catherine of Braganza. Her journey to find her place as the foreign wife in a court riddled with political and religious intrigue - not to mention the many mistresses of Charles the “Merry Monarch” - is a tale of perseverance only a true queen could endure. Love mingles with betrayal before a sensual renaissance of art, culture, and sex in this lush historical serial.

From the age of steam and the heirs of Dr. Frankenstein to the asteroid belt to the halls of Miskatonic University, the writers at Book View Café have concocted a beakerful of quaint, dangerous, sexy, clueless, genius, insane scientists, their assistants (sometimes equally if not even more deranged, not to mention bizarre), friends, test subjects, and adversaries.
