Tudor Tale of the Week
Hidden Messages
Anne Boleyn took a Book of Hours to her execution, and handed it to a lady-in-waiting before she was killed. That lady-in-waiting then took a great risk in saving it for Anne’s beloved daughter Elizabeth, starting a network of women who took turns to hide the book until it was time to pass it on. Some of their names were inscribed in the book, which were recently discovered after the book was photographed under ultraviolet light.
Writers about Writing
“There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.”
W. Somerset Maugham
The Catrin Surovell Series
This historical mystery series is set during the early years of Queen Elizabeth I’s reign (1560s). Lady Catrin is one of the queen’s ladies of the bedchamber, and she is very skilled at finding the truth in the midst of secrets and lies. This leads her into danger more times more often than she would like, but she remains determined to serve her queen and bring murderers to justice.

Thoughts in Pink Socks
I have a pair of pink socks. They are are too loose, too short, and so fluffy I can't fit my feet into shoes when I wear them. Essentially, the only thing they do well is amuse me. I think of odd things when I wear these socks, and here I will share them with you.
