“Terrific scene-setting. Intriguing characters.” Editor’s Choice, Historical Novel Society
“An outstanding novel, superbly written.” Richard III Society Review
Kindle Unlimited, Audio and Paperback
As a historical fiction author, I’m driven by the mysteries history leaves behind—and few are as haunting as the disappearance of Edward V and his brother Richard, Duke of York.
In The Godmother’s Secret and The King’s Intelligencer, I explore a carefully researched “what if”—imagining a possible truth without rewriting the known facts. I build my stories around documented evidence, contemporary sources, and the gaps historians still debate. Where I fictionalise, I always disclose that to my readers.
Historical fiction has the power to bring the past to life, but with it comes responsibility. I work hard to ensure that what’s invented feels authentic, but I never blur the line between fact and imagination. My author’s notes are there to guide readers through what’s true, what’s plausible, and what’s creatively explored. I hope you enjoy my fictionalised versions of the facts, and do let me know your own thoughts on England’s greatest historical mystery.
Because when history gives us silence, storytelling helps us ask the right questions.
