A Goodreads user asked Jeff Wheeler:

Hi, I am drawn to your books from the great covers, that you are a Christian and have a zine of clean stories. All well and good. But I am a Ricardian, so I am nervous that your villain in Queen's Poisoner etc. is patterned after him. If just after Shakespeare's false interpretation, then I can handle that, and I look forward to reading your books. Do you think the bard was right or wrong? Thanks and God bless! :)

Jeff Wheeler Hi Anne: thanks for your kind words. I'm not sure how many fantasy writers even know what a Ricardian is, but having been one myself since college, it made me smile. I went back to many of the primary sources I used on my master's thesis for these books as well as re-read one of my favorite novels, The Sunne in Splendour, by Sharon Kay Penman. I don't think you'll be upset with many creative liberties I took with the story. Shakespeare was a brilliant man and his play is excellent and full of drama. But it was entertainment not historical truth...as are my books! Loyaulté me Lie...

I’ve been searching for an order to read your books, I starter with the Harbinger series and I just finished the Dawning of Muirwood, and by the connection between these books I really would like to know if there’s a order to read the series in the same universe? I don’t to get any spoilers or be completely confused by reading them in a “wrong” order. I appreciate and I’m really enjoying this universe
