Formatting problem now corrected

Many thanks to a reader who spotted that the kindle ebook version has some formatting issues. This has now been corrected by my good friends at Amazon. If you downloaded a copy before 30 April you need to go to your Amazon account and  "manage my kindle" and click on the update against the book title. You may have received an email from Amazon if you are affected. I suggest waiting until 2 May before trying the update just to be sure it has been processed. There is no additional charge for receiving the updated version.

Courtenay and Tregarthin family trees for loyalty

Having trouble getting the published version of pages to display lines in the family trees. Will see if I can get an image to upload.

I am adding pages with the family trees of the House of York and the Courtenay and Tregarthen families for those readers who like a pictorial representation of the family connections.
Its quite tricky to do this, so please bear with me.

My new book available on Kindle


Loyalty - published on Kindle

So pleased that after 10 years of off-and-on writing my first novel - Loyalty - is being published.

Covering the period 1485 – 1527 this is the fascinating story of a Princess who experienced abandonment, poverty, restoration, love, loss and sacrifice amidst the turmoil of the establishment of the Tudor dynasty. During her life four Kings ruled in England, two claimants to the throne invaded (one successfully); ordinary people revolted and marched on London, plague and disease stalked the land and anyone who might be a threat to the Tudors was imprisoned or executed.
This is the story of Katherine of York, Princess of England: the daughter, sister and aunt of Kings.  Daughter of Edward IV, sister of the missing Edward V, sister-in-law of Henry VII and aunt of Henry VIII. It is also the story of her friends, John Kayleway the sworn protector of the Lancastrian William Courtenay, son of the Earl of Devon and Joan Tregarthin, a distant relation and Cornish heiress.

Katherine is amongst the last of the Yorkist royal bloodline. She grows up at Court: an inconvenient relative of the Crown. We follow the four friends as their life stories unfold from Bosworth Field to the reign of Henry VIII.
