With over three thousand burials and memorials, including seventeen monarchs, life for the ghostly community of Westminster Abbey was never going to be a quiet one. Add in some fiery Tudor tempers, and several centuries-old feuds, and things can only go one chaotic.
Against the backdrop of England’s most important church, though, it isn't all tempers and tantrums. Poets' Corner hosts poetry battles and writing workshops, and close friendships form across the ages.
With the arrival of Mary Queen of Scots, however, battle ensues. Will Queens Mary I and Elizabeth I ever find their common ground, and lasting peace?
The bestselling Kindred Spirits series continues within the ancient walls of Westminster Abbey.
"This third volume in Jennifer C Wilson's Kindred Spirits series is a hugely enjoyable addition to her genre-defying stories. I love historical fiction and good ghost stories and Wilson cleverly crosses both of these." "Another well written and enjoyable tale from an author who knows her history. She brings her characters and the venue to life making you want to visit the venue." "The author mixes in people from a variety of eras and it is fun to think how people who never met would have ... Another lovely read from an author who knows her history and uses it to create a cast of lively characters. While the characters have modern day sensibilities that allow us to connect with them, there is always a clear understanding of how their role in history shapes their character."
Jennifer is a marine biologist by training, who developed an equal passion for history whilst stalking Mary, Queen of Scots of childhood holidays (she has since moved on to Richard III). She completed her BSc and MSc at the University of Hull, and has worked as a marine environmental consultant since graduating.
Enrolling on an adult education workshop on her return to the north-east reignited Jennifer’s pastime of creative writing, and she has been filling notebooks ever since. In 2014, Jennifer won the Story Tyne short story competition, and also continues to work on developing her poetic voice, reading at a number of events, and with several pieces available online. Her debut novel Kindred Spirits: Tower of London was published by Crooked Cat Publishing in October 2015.
