Every year I share this beautiful animation. Even though my children are growing up now, we still put this on and watch it on the Sunday morning. I would urge EVERYONE to watch this. It's so emotionally portrayed and never fails to make me tear up! youtu.be/jeR5JWaIcpo?...

Happy Halloween everyone!! historyaimee.wordpress.com/2023/10/11/h...

Goal 1 achieved 🥳 She still needs a proper title, but my Very Rough (VERY rough!!!!) first draft is done. It's more highlighter pen than actual substance, but from little acorns mighty oaks do grow.

3 months until my manuscript for book 3 is due! Can't believe it's getting this close....lots of work to do! 😱

For this month's mid-month Substack, I was wondering if anyone had any questions about Margaret More Roper, the subject of my first book, which was published a year ago in July 2024. If you have any questions please ask away and I will endeavour to answer as many as I can in my Substack on Friday.

Alice Barnham and her sons Martin and Steven, c. 1557. Wonderful portrait of a successful, independent early modern woman, possibly painted by Hans Eworth. It's his day.

I've received confirmation that my Elizabeth Boleyn biography has been edited, and is with the design team at The History Press. It's so exciting to think that my book will soon be out in the world. I can't wait for the proofs! Keep your eyes peeled for a cover reveal 👀

Jacquetta of Luxembourg, Duchess of Bedford and Countess Rivers, died on this day in 1472 thefreelancehistorywriter.com/2017/05/19/j...

Something nice to take us into the weekend. I have signed a contract for another book - a 'sequel' to Tudor Princes and Princesses, but this time looking at the Stewart/Stuart Dynasty 🦄 I'm really excited about this one, but I have a lot of work to do before it is due in 2028!!! #scottishhistory

#OTD 28th May 1509 Edward Courtenay, 1st Earl of Devon, died. He requested that he be buried in “the chapel at Tiverton", next to his wife. This refers to the now demolished Courtenay chantry chapel at Tiverton. #EdwardCourtenay #1stEarlofDevon #Tudors #History

Remembering King Henry VI who died in the Tower of London #onthisday in 1471. He was imprisoned there and died under suspicious circumstances, possibly murdered.

3 years ago today I signed up to write my first ever book! Writing Margaret's story was an emotional rollercoaster and it took a lot of hard work to make it happen. I had no idea what I was getting into, or where it would take me, but I'm so glad I made that leap!

A long time ago in a manuscript far, far away.... Happy #StarWarsDay! – #MayTheFourthBeWithYou, always.

I spent this morning putting together a series of posts about my visit to Scotland. These will be coming to my Substack throughout May. Please do subscribe to be able to read all about my trip and then you won't miss any of my other posts either. 🙂
