About the author

As a young girl I loved the comfort of being immersed in a good book. I wanted very much to write and though I began to do so, life often 'got in the way'. Only after a life-changing move did I put pen to paper and note down the scenes running through my head as I went about my day.

One of my deepest interests lies in the later Fifteenth Century, especially King Richard iii and anything connected with The House of York.
I am also fascinated with the Dark Ages and the early Saxon Kingdoms of England.

I especially enjoy musing about the impossible becoming the possible, where incredible events happen to ordinary people. History often encompasses both these aspects.

Reviews

[Joanne · Rating 5 out of 5]

I bought this as soon as I'd finished the first part, I enjoyed it so much and I wasn't disappointed. The author keeps to known historical facts but weaves a plausible and very emotional story about Richard III and his niece Elizabeth. It's one of those stories you don't want to end and when it does it stays with you.
