I am 100% done with all the things related to my Anne Boleyn book. I really hope it is well-received; definitely took some risks with this one. Going to purge my mind with some fiction reading and resuming long-form poetry writing. I have no chill, friends.

I am delighted to say that I was readmitted to graduate school! After dropping out in Spring 2020 for obvious reasons to those who know me well, this is a wonderful turn of events. I am one class away after I correct a couple of things. I should complete my MA next year.

by Heather R. Darsie, J. D. Katharine of Aragon spent an agonizing seven years in England waiting for her future to find her. Although it was surely a depressing, demoralizing time, going back to Spain might have been more dangerous for Katharine. Things were not safe and secure as the Iberian peninsula, and particularly the Crown of Castile and León, faced crisis after crisis.

by Heather R. Darsie, J. D. Katharine of Aragon left an indelible mark on Tudor England that remains to present time. We are still talking about her. Katharine's life and the struggle she faced impacted her tremendously, and left a huge impression on her daughter Mary. This very evident when looking at who Mary I, England's first queen regnant, chose as a husband and the details surrounding Mary's wedding day.
