Sorry I didn’t manage a round-up post last month – the end of February/beginning of March was peak crazy time at work and the one day off I had in there (a Sunday) was my birthday! So, here are the book releases for both March and April:
First up is Secrets of the Tudor Portraits: Unveiling the Masterpieces of Holbein, the Horenbouts, Hilliard, and Others by Sylvia Barbara Soberton, which was released in mid-March in both the UK and US.
Next up is The Lord Protector and His Wives: Catherine Filliol, Anne Stanhope and Edward Seymour by Rebecca Batley, which will be out at the end of April in the UK and in May in the US.
And finally, Mary Tudor Queen of France by Amy McElroy was released earlier in the year in the UK and came out at the end of March in the US.
That’s it for now – my spreadsheet is looking a little sparse for the remainder of the spring, but I’ll keep an eye out for more!

This isn’t all that different from at least one other Picture of the Week, but I took A LOT of photos of the gardens, so there will be a few kind of similar ones as I continue to work my way through all of these pictures. (I can’t believe it’s been nearly 10 years since that visit!)
Hello February! Sorry this is a few days later than usual – I had to take advantage of the great weather we were having to get out and doing a little walking and tackle some yard work while everything is dead/dormant.
We have a couple of previous UK releases that will be out in the US this month, starting with Captive Queen: The Decrypted History of Mary, Queen of Scots by Jade Scott, which will be out on February 4 in the US.
And next is Stephen David’s Birth of the Red Dragon: Wales and the Wars of the Roses, which came out in the UK in September and will be out on February 11 in the US.
And in new books this month, or possibly last month – Mary Tudor Queen of France by Amy McElroy appears to have come out on January 30, although I originally had it released in February on my tracking sheet. It is due out in late April in the US.
And that’s all for this month! Since I have stopped using Twitter and not enough of the people I used to follow have made it over to other platforms I’m experimenting with, it might be hard for me to be in the loop about upcoming books and events. But I’ll continue to keep an eye out!
Happy New Year everyone!
This month’s round-up is kind of light, but I do have a few things to draw your attention to:
Books
Nicola Clark’s The Waiting Game: The Untold Story of the Women Who Served the Tudor Queens (US title) will be out next week in the US, after it was released last spring in the UK.
And Nathen Amin’s The Son of Prophecy: The Rise of Henry Tudor, which came out last summer in the UK, will be released in hardcover in the US on January 20 (it was already available on Kindle).
Events
Peterborough Cathedral‘s annual Katharine of Aragon Festival will be held from January 22nd to 29th this year.
One of these years I will finally get to the festival! (At least I was finally able to visit the cathedral back in 2015)
