Sandra Worth, who has written several novels set in the period of the Wars of the Roses has a new book coming out in December on Elizabeth of York, the first Tudor Queen.
Here is a link to more information about the book on Sandra’s website.
And as a special treat, I will be hosting a thread here on the blog where readers can ask Sandra questions and she will respond. We haven’t set an exact day for it yet, but keep your eyes open!
Last but not least, here are the Amazon links (US on the left, UK on the right) to pre-order the book:
I have read all her books they are great! I am so excited about this book. There aren’t a lot of books out there about Elizabeth of York so this should be a good one!
Seems like another romanced history novel. Will have to check it out at the library. And what’s with the chest shots?
The cover seems to be following the trend of the headless/faceless woman covers that have been very common of late (which I’m not a big fan of). The one thing I don’t get is why they chose to use an image of Eleanor of Toledo when we have portraits of Elizabeth of York. I’ll have to ask Sandra about it.
I’m intrigued, particularly her earlier book about Henry VI’s Queen, Margaret.
How did I miss this author? Embarassed to say that I haven’t read any of her novels. Forgive me 🙁
What is her style? IMO, there is Jean Plaidy, who writes quick, short, static sentences without any detail, and there is the late/great Margaret Campbell Brown who could paint a picture, and put you in the scene, with just a few words.
I’d be interested in Ms Worth’s take on Richard III, seeing that her books focus so much on the “War of the Roses”. Although in reading the blurb about this novel of Elizabeth, it seems that Richard is portrayed as a nice fellow. Still, can’t help but hope he has some flaws. He was only human after all 🙂
