About the Author
Wendy J. Dunn is an Australian author, playwright and poet who has been obsessed by Anne Boleyn and Tudor History since she was ten-years-old. She is the author of three Tudor novels: Dear Heart, How Like You This?, the winner of the 2003 Glyph Fiction Award and 2004 runner up in the Eric Hoffer Award for Commercial Fiction, The Light in the Labyrinth, her first young adult novel, and Falling Pomegranate Seeds.
While she continues to have a very close and spooky relationship with Sir Thomas Wyatt, the elder, serendipity of life now leaves her no longer wondering if she has been channeling Anne Boleyn and Sir Tom for years in her writing, but considering the possibility of ancestral memory. Her own family tree reveals the intriguing fact that her ancestors – possibly over three generations – had purchased land from both the Boleyn and Wyatt families to build up their own holdings. It seems very likely Wendy’s ancestors knew the Wyatts and Boleyns personally.
Born in Melbourne, Australia, Wendy is married and the mother of three sons and one daughter—named after a certain Tudor queen, surprisingly, not Anne.

In episode 5 of Talking Tudors, Natalie Grueninger chats all things Katherine of Aragon with novelist Wendy J. Dunn. Tune in here!
Can’t get enough of the Tudors? Tune in to Talking Tudors, a podcast for lovers of Tudor history.
Wow, a choice of three very intriguing books!
If I will be given a chance, I want to have “Falling Pomegranate Seeds”. I am really interested about the life of Catherine of Aragon. Her journey to England, her bankruptcy, her duty as Princess of Wales to Arthur, her sufferings because of her dowry, her role as wife of Henry VIII and lastly her role as a loving mother to Mary. We all know about her banishment from throne because of the doings of Henry VIII. But, I want to take a closer look, why and how this woman was able to stand her ground after all of these. This is not my country’s history but even I am from the far country of Philippines, I am with Catherine of Aragon.
Merry Christmas ?
Fingers crossed I’m lucky enough to win one of these amazing books
IT HAS BEEN A HORRIBLE YEAR WITH A LOT OF EXPENSE AND THEREFORE I WOULD LOVE
LOVE TO WIN ANY OF THESE BOOKS,
AS I LOVE THIS SITE .
Loved this podcast….these went immediately on my list to read.
I would love to read the book about Katherine of Aragon!

Great prize!
What a great idea!
Happy 1st December!
Excited for the first day of the give-away! Fingers crossed because these look like they might keep me out of mischief for a few days!!
I am totally fascinated by the Tudor Saga in English history It was an amazing but brutal time for all people especially the poor and all Henry’s wives. I have the Tudor dvd seriies. So good to watch. I also have Reign which is another amazing series. I absolutely love reading English history and all the great stories written about this amazing era.
Any Tudor book is a great edition to my bookcase.
Would live to read any one if them
What a great set of books to choose from! Thank you so much for doing this contest again this year!!!
Thomas Wyatt is my 14-great grandfather, so I would definitely choose “Dear Heart, How Like You This?”.
WOW how wonderful ?
Fingers crossed, this is so exciting.
Thank you for the chance of winning a great book.
Yes plesse!!!
So in love with this Tudor period. I always enjoy learning and reading about it.
I would love to read the catherine of argon book. As i read the two anne bolyen books. They where amazing ?? definitely recommend them.
Would love to read your books
So difficult to choose just one!
I guess Fallen Pomegranate Seeds is a good volume with which to begin.
Merry Tudor Christmas 🙂
I think I subscribed to the newsletter correctly but who knows, I can be such a disaster when it comes to technology! In case I am selected, I’d go for The Light in the Labyrinth. Have a great Christmas!
My 2019 resolution will be to make more time for reading so Dear Heart, How You Like This would be a great book to ‘read in’ the new year!
Brilliant prize! I’d love to read any of these.
Well they all sound fab ! I ahveent seen them before. I think falling pomegranate seeds would be a fab book to read as I have read Katherine had problems after Arthur died within court as she has no money etc. She was left floating doing nothing till her marriage to Henry. It would be good to hear another perspective on that
Would love a chance
Home this December will be lucky!
Perfect way to start the New Year
I have been looking forward to this!!! Thank you so much for this opportunity and what a great way to start off the giveaway!! Would love to win any one of these books!!
All three books look interesting – the covers are beautiful 🙂
I seem to be having difficulties getting Tudor fiction or non fiction at my local library so i definitely feel I need to catch up on my Tudor reading and either of these would be lovely.

Love to read our Tudor History
My 12-year-old son is obsessed with the Tudors, I will be sure to leave some comments! A merry Christmas to all on this site, and a happy New Year!
Thank you for the chance!
Awesome selections! I love your christmas giveaway! Thank you so much for putting it together and getting some amazing authors to contribute!
I would love to read the second book..The light in the Labyrinth!?
I haven’t read any of the 3 books, so I would be happy with either of them. ?? anything dealing with the Tudors
All 3 books sound exciting I’ve always loved the picture of Anne being comforted by her lady in first picture and how exciting for Wendy to be closely related
Great way to introduce us to authors, whether we win or not ( and very kind contest, thanks, all). I enjoyed Episode 5’s interview.
Ooh! Would love the one about Anne!
That book about Anne Boleyn and Thomas Wyatt sounds incredible! I have always wondered what would’ve happened if Anne had ended up with him instead of Henry. I wonder how much her life would’ve been much different, would she have died in child birth? Would she have lived until old age? No to mention how much England would have been different without her daughter Elizabeth!
Thanks very much for a chance to win! Great giveaway! Michelle t
I would love to read any of those! They all look so intriguing.
Any Tudor novel would be so fabulous… keep me occupied in hospital in the New Year !
Happy Christmas one and all !
All of these books sound amazing! Would love to add to my Tudor collection!!
All of these books sound interesting!
Merry Christmas!! Love the great books!
What a Great opportunity!
