I love all books Tudor!
Dear Anne,
I absolutely loved “At the Mercy of the Queen”.In fact,I’ve just finished it yesterday.What a treat!So interesting to read about Margaret and her relationship with Anne Boleyn.I, actually, always wondered,what was the relationship between these cousins.Thank You for shedding some kind of light on it!I know,it took You long time to write it and You put a lot of heart in your work,so thank You for that-as a reader, I appreciate every detail and every emotion You described in Your book.I would absolutely love to have this wonderful book in my Tudor library next to A.Weir,C.W.Gortner,P.Gregory books.Can’t wait for Your next book!
P.S I was laughing out loud reading about your experience with the Tudor Dress.People don’t realize,that women in that period had to deal not just with ignorant husbands and greedy parents,but also with the clothes,which were incredible uncomfortable to wear and could seriously injure you!LOL
I love everything Tudor! 🙂
Dear Loreta,
Thank you for your kind words about AT THE MERCY OF THE QUEEN–you don’t know how much they mean to me! I’m so glad you like it! 🙂
Wishing you all good things,
Anne
What a truely amazing novel and i cannot wait to read it! There is nothing that quite compares to English History and our past heritage, especially the tudor period that was so facinating, intreguing and a very poinant moment in time. xxx
