I have a fabulous writing partner in San Diego who I have been working with on my current project. In one of her novel's scenes, Queen Anna of Denmark plays a pivotal roll in the story. That's all I'll reveal about her work, other than to say, I was compelled to share today's Spotlight with everyone, just because of the subject matter: Anna of Denmark. However, if you've never heard of this royal lady before, remember that sometimes it is the lesser known personages of history who have the most compelling lives for a good story.
Tony Riches is my special guest this week, and his new novel is all about Anna of Denmark, the consort of James the Ist of England/James VI of Scotland. Tony is a very well-respected writer on the Tudor and Elizabethan periods. He has a prolific list of people that he has written historical fiction bios about: Henry Tudor, Mary Tudor, Jasper Tudor, Elizabeth I, and even Sir Walter Raleigh. So for those of you who love the history of Britain, his books should really entice you.
I'd like to welcome Tony to Brook's Journal and I hope he'll consider returning in the near future!
Read ON, everybody!
ALL ABOUT THE BOOK
A crown won in the eye of a storm. A queen who refuses to be broken...
Princess Anna of Denmark sails for Scotland to marry King James VI, but storms ravage her fleet, igniting a deadly obsession with witchcraft in her new home. Arriving in a strange and paranoid court, Anna finds her new husband’s bed is a treacherous place.
Surrounded by whispering courtiers and shifting alliances, Anna refuses to remain a passive pawn. When the court takes her children to raise them away from her, the young queen draws her line in the sand. From the windswept castles of Scotland to the glittering, dangerous English court, Anna is restored to her rightful place in history.
