Today is the 474th anniversary of the death of Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury, daughter of George of Clarence. Read more here.

Margaret Pole is no stranger to fortune's wheel. From her childhood as firstborn of the heir apparent of England, she was brought low as the daughter of a traitor. After years of turmoil as the Tudor dynasty made its roots, Margaret finds favor with her cousin, King Henry VIII.

Will the remnant of the York dynasty thrive under this tempestuous king or will Margaret discover that there is a price to pay for having an excess of royal blood?

Today is the 475th anniversary of the execution of Margaret Pole. I am honored to write about her for the English Historical Fiction Authors blog.

Author Tony Riches has kindly invited me to his blog at The Writing Desk today. I am talking about why I decided to write about Margaret Pole in my upcoming release, Faithful Traitor.

Only 10 more days!

Faithful Traitor is now available on Kindle and paperback worldwide through Amazon. If you are one of the hundreds(!) of people who pre-ordered it, you have already found it greeting you on your Kindle.

I cannot thank you all enough for your support of my work. Being an independent author means that I am a writer, researcher, editor, publisher, marketer.....sometimes it is a little overwhelming. However, it is days like these, when I am lovingly gazing at a box filled with copies of my new novel, that it is all worth it.

Before I was done with Elizabeth's story in Plantagenet Princess, Tudor Queen, I knew that I was going to have to write about Margaret next. I hope that you will all agree that her life is a wild ride on fortune's wheel that deserves telling. Continue the story of the Plantagenet remnant in Tudor times with Faithful Traitor.

In July 1521, Margaret Pole lost her post as Princess Mary's governess. It was just a bitter nibble of things to come.
