Anastasia Royal has released her debut novel, Undoing I Do, this month. Published by Thomas Dunne Books, it's the story of free-spirited Claire McCloud, who battles through a marriage gone wrong with German artist Tobin while protecting her children from the divorce fallout and learning to live her life on her own terms. Royal said she wrote this novel because “it was the book I wanted to read while I was going through my divorce - not the clinical self-help books or the sappy, tell-all weepies, but the authentic, full-range-of-emotions novel that readers can relate to. Also, I wanted to help people see that divorce is ultimately about love and its loss - that's the real tragedy - not who did what to whom or who is right or wrong.” Royal, who has since remarried, is also an artist, composer and voice-over actor from Chicago.
