November 17, 1558, marked the end of the counter-reformation in England led by Queen Mary I and her cousin, Cardinal Reginald Pole. While many will pay tribute this day to the young Elizabeth who became queen, I would prefer to take a look at her misunderstood older sister. I am a guest today at English Historical Fiction Authors looking at the lives of Mary and Reginald, a pious and devoted pair who ultimately failed in their most vital work.

Queen of Martyrs: The Story of Mary I will be released on April 12, 2017. If you would like it delivered to your Kindle right away, you can pre-order it now.

I am so excited to welcome 'my Mary' to the world!

I am pleased to be back at EHFA with a glimpse at the similarities between Queen Mary I and her mother, Katherine of Aragon.

Queen Mary's contemporaries thought her choice of husband was the greater crime than her counter-reformation. What could she have done differently? I look at some possibilities at Tudors Dynasty today.

These Tudor sisters are remembered much differently today, one as Gloriana the other as Bloody Mary, but they learned together how to be a queen.

I take a look at what lessons the younger sister learned from the elder as the guest of historical fiction author Judith Arnopp today.

You won't want to miss any of these great posts! Various blog hosts and reviewers have participated with looks at Queen Mary and her relationships with mother Katherine of Aragon, sister Elizabeth, cousin Jane Grey, and all the men in her life. With book excerpts, reviews, interviews and more, you won't be able to resist taking a fresh look at Mary Tudor.

The persecution of Protestants has become the defining event of Queen Mary I's reign. What if she hadn't done it?

Read a chapter from Queen of Martyrs!

Did Queen Mary I have evidence against her sister that could have justified a charge of treason? She certainly had more than had sent others to their deaths.
