Thanks to Gabriele, instead of spending lunchtime patiently fact-checking and proofreading the final draft of the Buckingham novel, I’m doing this meme.

Some more reviews from Amy at Passages to the Past, Margaret at Historical Novels, and Grace’s Book Blog. And Margaret is also interviewing me over here. On a non-me-related note, I finished reading Robert Hutchison’s The House of Treason this week. It’s nonfiction about the Dukes of Norfolk from the end of Richard III’s reign …
A couple of reviews today by Lilly at Reading Extravaganza and S. Krishna. Thanks, folks! March was a rather dismal month for amusing search terms on my website–most were straightforward and sensible. However, these are two web surfers who might have a bright future together: torrid nubiles whipping scene in poor cecily Well, as they …

I’m inserting footnotes into an article I’m doing about the Woodville siblings, which is such a time-consuming and tedious process that it hasn’t left me much time for blogging this week. (Next time, I’m just going to say, “Because I read it somewhere,” for my references, and leave it at that.) Anyway, I thought some …
The lovely ladies at Historical Tapestry have allowed me to do a guest post on “Why I Love Writing About Women Whose Husbands Die Horrible Deaths.” Check it out!
As some of you may know, my first novel, The Traitor’s Wife: A Novel of the Reign of Edward II, has been bought by Sourcebooks and is being reissued next year. Anyway, I was surfing the Internet tonight and discovered that the new edition, scheduled for April 2009, is now available for pre-order! So duly …
