Shadow of Persephone and No More Time to Dance, The Story of Catherine Howard
February, 1542
A young woman awaits her execution in the Tower of London, sent to death on the orders of her husband, Henry VIII.
Daughter of the nobility, cousin to a fallen Queen, Catherine Howard rose from the cluttered ranks of courtiers at the court of Henry VIII to become the King’s fifth wife.
But hers is a tale that starts long before the crown was placed on her head. A tale of tragedy and challenges, predators and prey; the story of a young girl growing up in a perilous time, facing dangers untold.
The fifth wife of Henry VIII would end her life on the block, like her cousin Anne Boleyn… But where did her story begin?
Both books of the series are out on Audible and other platforms now, published by Tantor Media.

The Matilda of Flanders Chronicles
The Heart of the Conqueror and The Forest and the Flames
14th of October 1066.
Two armies converge to decide the fate of England
The most famous date in English history, when the might of the English Saxons faced the wrath of the Norman invasion. The man who stormed the sands of Sussex was William, bastard Duke of Normandy, the man they eventually came to call the Conqueror… But the heart of the Conqueror was Matilda, Lady of Flanders and Duchess of Normandy.
At the side of the most famous war-lord of history, Matilda worked, not as quiet, modest wife, but as a leader, as a ruler just as ruthless as her husband. Under her soft mask of beauty and modesty there lay the heart of a woman powered by ambition. A woman who was strong, courageous and devious.
Through the eyes of one of the most extraordinary women of history the reader travels, watching the events which would lead to the invasion of England and the battle that would decide its fate.
This is the story of Matilda, Lady of Flanders, Duchess of Normandy and Queen of England.
The entire series of the Matilda of Flanders Chronicles is available now on Audible and other platforms, published by Tantor Media.
