Tudor Tale of the Week
Bejewelled Book
There are not very many people who can claim to have a book bound in silver and embedded with jewels. However, Trinity College Cambridge has one, specifically a Book of Hours. It seems that it may have belonged to none other than the Chief Minister of Henry VIII, Thomas Cromwell. Interestingly, it is the same edition of the Book of Hours owned by Cromwell’s great enemies Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn. So…they may not have liked each other, but they prayed the same way.
Writers about Writing
“No author dislikes to be edited as much as he dislikes not being published.”
Russell Lynes
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.
