I'm delighted to be interviewing Jo Harkin about her brilliant new novel @sevenoaksbookshop.bsky.social on 14 May at 7pm. A must for Tudor enthusiasts and also a superbly realised piece of fiction. Hope to see many of you there.

Thrilled that hugely talented historian and writer @stevenveerapen.bsky.social has selected 'The Thistle and the Rose' as one of his books of 2024 for Aspects of History magazine. Also congratulations to @melitat.bsky.social whose '1000 Tudor People' is also chosen. It's a must-have for Tudor fans.

My first opportunity to say hello on this platform, where I see friends from the other place are already gathering in force. I'm a Tudor and Stuart historian and my latest book is a biography of Margaret Tudor, Henry VIII's overlooked elder sister.
