The Anne Boleyn Collection is a collection of articles examining the life and times of Henry VIII, his six wives and other Tudor personalities. These people lived in the brutal back-stabbing world of the 16th century English Court and an England which was changing dramatically as the Reformation swept through Europe. Although it’s non-fiction, it has all the elements of historical fiction: history, love, passion, betrayal and death.

My second book, The Fall of Anne Boleyn: A Countdown, is also set in the 16th century, but in one year in particular: 1536. It tells the story of Anne Boleyn’s fall one day at a time and is based on contemporary sources.

I will look forward to reading that book very soon! What do you, and what will we, love about Anne?

What I love about her is the mystery that surrounds her and her incredible strength of character. I had to sift through so much misinformation, so many myths and falsehoods to get anywhere close to the real Anne. Either she is represented as an ambitious, power-hungry, manipulative sexual predator or as some kind of Protestant martyr and saint, and neither of those images does Anne any justice.

The Anne I’ve come to know through my research was highly intelligent and cultured, a woman who had the nerve to say “no” to the King when he wanted her as his mistress, and a woman who had the perseverance and courage to fight for the annulment and ignore the nay-sayers and haters who saw her as the enemy. When she was Queen, she was a Patron of the Arts, a supporter of education and poor relief, an evangelical who helped promote Reform, and a like-minded partner to her husband. She was far from the submissive Tudor wife and was not afraid to be herself, even when this made her rather unpopular. She was a force to be reckoned with!

I love that strength, too, and yet she was also approachable to those she loved. Is there something in that era that you are glad we have moved beyond, and something you wish we could reclaim?

I’m glad that London no longer has open sewers! I always think that it must have been a huge shock for Catherine of Aragon to move from the beautiful Alhambra Palace, with its running water and citrus groves, to smelly backward London. Also the horrors of torture, public executions and rigged trials, or condemnation by attainder. Our legal and justice systems are not perfect but they were atrocious in those times.

I sometimes wish we could reclaim the simplicity of life, but without the disease and poverty! Today’s world is one big rat race, everyone is stressed, everyone is in a rush and it is hard to take time out to ‘smell the roses’. People (me included!) are permanently attached to their mobile phones, iPads, laptops etc. and you can sit on public transport and be completely ignored by those around you, it’s sad. I also love the costume, although it would be so impractical in today’s world and I quite like wearing underwear!

Ha ha, indeed! What piqued and held your interest in this subject and your angle on it?

I studied the Tudor era twice at school and then I did the Reformation as part of my degree at University so it’s something I’ve always been interested in, but it was a dream that led to me researching it full-time. In January 2009, I had a vivid dream about being a member of the crowd at Anne Boleyn’s execution. I can’t remember any of the details, all I remember is the feeling of horror and helplessness I felt when I realised that this woman was going to be beheaded for crimes she did not commit. I tried to scream but I couldn’t get the sound out and I woke up in a cold sweat as the executioner swung the sword. I shook my husband, Tim, awake and told him that I had to start a website called “The Anne Boleyn Files” and that he had to create it for me. Luckily, I have a husband who is willing to go with the flow and humour me, so he created a website for me and The Anne Boleyn Files went live in February 2009. My mission was, and still is, to share the real truth about Anne Boleyn by debunking the myths that are so prevalent and by sharing my research into the primary sources.

And we, too, are so very glad that Tim indulged you as we all share in the fruit of both of your efforts. Any fun factoid you discovered in your research?

When I was researching Anne Boleyn’s genealogy I found it interesting that she had royal blood through both her paternal and maternal lines and that she was descended from Eleanor of Aquitaine. I also found that Anne Boleyn’s Butler ancestors got their name from Theobald Walter (their first ancestor in Ireland) being the ceremonial cup-bearer in the 13th century to Henry II’s son, Prince John (future King John). The cup-bearer was known as the boteillier (Norman French) or ‘butler’.

I love those genealogical nuggets. What got you so interested in the Tudors, and in Anne Boleyn in particular?

I remember when I did a project on Henry VIII and his six wives at the age of 11 that I was in awe of this giant of a man who had married six times and executed two of his wives. His story seemed so crazy and unbelievable, I was hooked!

Anne Boleyn’s story resonates with me because I hate injustice. Here was the ultimate victim of injustice who went to her death with dignity and courage and I so admired that. I wanted to dig deeper into her story and find out who she really was, what drove her and how she came to die in such a brutal way. Her faith also intrigued me, with some historians labelling her as Protestant and others as a conservative Catholic. I’ve loved digging into the French Reformers who influenced Anne and looking into their beliefs and comparing them to those of Luther – fascinating stuff!

Tell us what it’s like to spend the night at Hever Castle.

It’s magical! Tim and I have been lucky enough to stay there a few times and it is amazing to draw back the curtains and see parts of the castle or gardens, you have to pinch yourself. We have also eaten in the main castle dining room, where you are surrounded by portraits, a sixteenth century tapestry, a suit of armour and Henry VIII’s lock on the door. To eat a meal where the Boleyn family ate is an out of the world experience. Although the castle and gardens have changed since Anne’s time, I always feel close to her there and I love gazing at her portraits and her Books of Hours. I can lose myself for hours at Hever!

I loved seeing that lock – and learning about his lock paranoia! So when you need to be refreshed: Coke or Pepsi? (Mead or Wine? Ale or Port?)

Coke Zero (don’t tend to see Pepsi here in Spain). Mead, although our local red wine is to die for. Guinness – delicious and I always tell myself it’s good for me because of the iron content!

Where can we find out more about, and purchase, your books?

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog!

Please welcome my wonderful, long-admired friend, Jane Kirkpatrick and her new book, Where the Lilacs Bloom. I have been a fan of her stories for many, many years, and I’m happy to report that she’s as delightful as her books are!

After you read all about her book, click here to enter to win flowers for a year courtesy of Jane and her publisher: http://tinyurl.com/janeslilacs

Jane, transport us to the place and time your book is set in.
Where Lilacs Still Bloom is set in the great Northwest where Douglas firs and cedars drip the misty rain that Washington state is known for. The story spans from the late 1800s to 1948. A garden features in this story, a garden with dahlias and daffodils and lilacs of various colors and scent and hardiness and it’s a garden that can be visited today as a metaphor for those of us who have dreams and dare to pursue them. Specifically, most of the story takes place in little Woodland, Washington just north of Portland, Oregon. But because of the main character’s connection to so many beyond where she lived, readers will visit Baltimore and Sacramento and Massachusetts and discover how flowers affect our lives with their presence.

I adore those lilac gardens and have visited them on many a Mother’s Day. I was so excited to read the story of the woman behind them. What do you, and what will we, love about your hero and heroine? Most of my stories are based on the lives of real people and Where Lilacs Still Bloom is no exception. Hulda Klager was a German immigrant who had a passion for growing things. She taught herself horticulture and began developing new varieties of flowers. I think readers will like her love for her family, her perseverance in the intricate life-long work of plant breeding and her generous spirit. She had her flaws and being opinionated and sometimes a bit hovering as a mom I hope will resonate with a few of us…I mean readers, out there. Her husband, Frank, is the perfect foil for her, allowing her to be an independent woman and yet able to hold her and bring her comfort during the dark times in their lives. He was a dairy farmer with a great sense of humor and once exchanged an entire herd of cows with a neighbors just for the fun of imagining how confused the neighbor would be when his cows didn’t behave in their usual manner. He did return them the next day.

One thing I so enjoy about your books is that they show ordinary women reaching extraordinary heights, in some way, to make their dreams come true. They risk! That’s so admirable. Is there something in that era that you are glad we have moved beyond, and something you wish we could reclaim? I’m glad we’ve moved beyond some of the diseases and medical traumas of that period and the grief and pain that is now tended with antibiotics and inoculations. But I’d like to reclaim the idea of Sunday drives to just sit on a porch swing and visit friends or make new ones, touring gardens in neighboring towns when the blooms are at their fullest and we take the time to let our fingers linger on the petals.

Oh, me too. With lemonade. And a nap. What piqued and held your interest in this subject and your angle on it? I resisted this story for quite awhile because I’m not a gardener. But a descendant gently kept inviting me to visit the Klager gardens which are on the national historic register now and one weekend with a friend we stopped during Lilac Days. I was enthralled with the scents, the beauty, the peacefulness, the evidence of great love poured into that garden for all those many years. As I learned more about Hulda and her family I was drawn to her great endurance during challenges from nearby rivers, family trials and tragedy and the constant-ness of a scientist hoping to bring to bear a twelve-petal lilac bloom. I realized then it wasn’t just about a garden, it was about listening to that inner voice that tells us that we are worthy of our dreams.

And Hulda makes that so clear in the book. She’s encouraging us women, these many years later. Any fun factoid you discovered in your research? I didn’t realize how much of an influence Luther Burbank had on our food supply, even today when we take having strawberries in January for granted, so that was interesting. And that Hulda corresponded with him. I also didn’t know that in the last century, most lilacs had only four petals!

Coke or Pepsi? (Mead or Wine? Ale or Port?) But if I’m to choose…then it’s water, wine, and lilacs.

Ooh, perhaps essence of lilac in lemonade? Terrific! Where can we find out more about, and purchase, your books? Come visit my website at www.jkbooks.com. I have a blog there (and my dog, Bo, does too) and we’ll be having a contest at some point along the way to help people know about the book. My schedule of speaking events and book signings are there along with words of encouragement. www.lilacsgardens.com will take you to the actual Hulda Klager gardens where we’re having a big event the day before the actual lilac gardens open… oh, I’m supposed to tell you about where to get the books! They’re sold at fine stores everywhere; signed copies from my website and they’re available at the usual on-line sites such as Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Christian Booksellers and others. On Facebook, The author Jane Kirkpatrick page include tidbits and will have advance chapters for readers as well. I also encourage readers to sign up for my Story Sparks newsletter www.jkbooks.com. It comes out once a month and is meant to be an encouragement for our honoring our own stories and trusting in their power to divinely heal and transform.

My book is set during the winter of 1778 in British-occupied Philadelphia. It was the third-largest city in the British empire. Before the war, it was a lovely, tidy, vibrant port city. During the occupation, however, as firewood became scarce and British soldiers consumed the supply of resources, all available wood was confiscated for use as firewood, including fences, bushes, trees, shutters, and everything else declared unnecessary. Sometimes entire houses were dismantled.

Difficulty in finding food and then bringing it back through the lines led to a brisk black market in basic staples like butter, bread, and eggs. But those Loyal to the crown did a terrific job of entertaining the guests. There was a heady round of subscription balls, dinner parties, horse races, card games, and plays down at the theater. And a gala to end all galas in the middle of May. But by the end of the occupation in June 1778, a good portion of the city had been destroyed…and the rest was swarming with flies. It literally took weeks for the citizens to clean out public buildings which had been used by the British as stables and latrines. Even private citizens reclaimed their homes only to find that the British occupants had punched through flooring and swept excrement and other waste into their basements.

Historians believe that when the Revolutionary War started, one-third of the colonists supported the patriots, one-third remained loyal to the crown, and one-third had made no decision either way. The British army was the mightiest army on earth. In funds, soldiers, and equipment, they vastly outnumbered the colonists. The war was Britain’s to lose and they did an admirable job of it. Many of those who had cheered when the British army marched into Philadelphia cheered even louder as it left.

We humans are fickle indeed …!  What do you, and what will we, love about your hero and heroine?

I love my heroine, Hannah Sunderland’s, expectation that in going to her Quaker meeting on Sundays she would hear God speak. I wish I went to church on Sundays that way! I also loved that she spoke plainly, saying exactly what she meant and refusing to lie. As you can imagine, this created several sticky situations in an occupied city!

I love my hero, Jeremiah Jones’s, strength. Even though he had lost an arm during an earlier conflict and even though he often tried to convince himself that he didn’t have anything left to offer, both his moral and physical strength shine through. Especially where Hannah is concerned.

I love how they come to each other with past experiences that ought to lead them to discount one another, but instead found value and worth in their relationship.

It sounds like both an exciting – and mature – kind of love. Is there something in that era that you are glad we have moved beyond, and something you wish we could reclaim?

After researching all the damage done to Philadelphia’s homes by the British, I’m ecstatic that we have a third amendment to the American Constitution! That’s the kind of oddball one forbidding quartering of troops. I never understood its significance until I wrote this book.

I wish we could reclaim the excitement of mail. Letters were so valued in those days. They were passed among family and friends, gathered and stored in special places and taken out to admire and re-read again and again. In an era of e-mail and texting, I’d forgotten what a special, precious gift a letter can be.

It’s such a thrill to get real mail.  My mother-in-law is excellent at continuing to send beautiful cards and letters. What piqued and held your interest in this subject and your angle on it?

Mt. Vernon is one of my family’s favorite historic places to visit. We make several trips there every year. We especially like the Education Center’s film about General Washington’s spy network. Several years ago, after watching that film, my family challenged me to write a book about a spy. The idea intrigued me, as did the plight of Quakers during the Revolutionary War. There’s a legend that a Quaker woman operated as a spy in Philadelphia during several weeks in December 1777. The thought was fascinating. Without duplicating her story, I wanted to investigate what would make a Quaker choose a side in a conflict and become an active participant in war. And more than that, I wanted to know how she could be an effective spy without the usual weapons of deception that her religion would have made her reject.

A clever and conflicted heroine. Awesome! Any fun factoid you discovered in your research?

That most of the women from Loyalist families who danced with the British at their gala parties that winter went on to marry officers in the patriot army.

Wonder if they had two sets of dance cards. Coke or Pepsi? (Mead or Wine? Ale or Port?)

Coke; Wine (red, please!); Port (the closer it tastes to coffee the better)

Okay, I’m on the hunt for coffee-tinted port now.  Where can we find out more about, and purchase, your books?

 Thank you Siri, I am sure this will be another stellar addition to your delightful body of work!

Please welcome my lovely and talented friend, author Helen Hollick. As a lover of all things British history, I was thrilled to see her book, I Am the Chosen King, which tells the English point of view of the Norman invasion. Not many books do, and it’s a tale worth telling … and reading. Welcome, Helen!

Hello – it’s lovely to be here. I’m going to talk about my novel I Am The Chosen King, which is about King Harold II and the Battle of Hastings – 1066. Please note that this is the US title – in the UK the book is called Harold the King. It is the same book – but with a different title and cover.

Transport us to the place and time your terrific book is set in.

On October 14th 1066 there was a huge battle that took place about seven miles from the southern coast of England. The nearest town was Hastings, which is why we call it the Battle of Hastings. In fact, the battle was fought along the ridge atop a steep hill where there was nothing but marsh on one side, deep forest on the other – and a track passing through open meadow up and over the hill heading towards the open country of the South Weald and eventually, London.

Who fought in this battle? The King of England, Harold Godwinsson and his army were attempting to defeat a foreign invading army of Normans led by Duke William. The battle was unique for its period because it raged all day – it began soon after 9 a.m. and only ended at dusk, when Harold and most of his bodyguard lay dead.

Three times did Duke William’s men trudge up that steep, steep hill to face the fierce men of the English army who had arrayed themselves as a living wall of men and shields and weapons along the ridge. Three times Duke William was unhorse – once his men thought he was dead. But their number and strength was just too much for the brave English to hold back. Four of William’s men broke through the depleted ranks of the English and hacked Harold to pieces.

William took the victory, the crown and the kingdom – and the freedom of the English – to reign as a usurping king. Thus, the rule of the Normans overthrew Saxon England. William built an abbey on the battle site – and the village that sprang up around it was called Battle. The abbey and the battlefield can still be seen today. Every October a re-enactment takes place there. It is well worth a visit.

That is the history lesson; most of what we know was written down by the victors, the Normans, but their view was biased – media spin doctoring and propaganda is nothing new! I wanted to strip away that propaganda and write the story of why the battle happened. What caused such dreadful turmoil and who were the people involved. What motivated them; what made them laugh, cry, hate and love?

My novel is not just about a battle – it is about the people involved in the events that led to it.

What do you, and what will we, love about your hero and heroine? Bring them to life for us, these nearly 1000 years later.

Harold Godwinsson – King Harold II of England – is at first glance an odd person to portray as a hero. After all, he lost the battle against Duke William of Normandy at a place seven miles from Hastings, on October 14th 1066. So why is a loser my hero?

The answer is simple; he was a brave man, our legal, legitimately crowned King who gave his life defending his people and his Kingdom against a foreign usurper.

His “common law” wife, Edyth Swanneck was his partner and mother to at least six children for over twenty years, he only set her aside when he became king and had to make a political marriage of alliance with the Earldoms of the north of England – yet it was Edyth who went with him to face the Norman army, and she who had to identify his mutilated remains on the day after the battle.

How did she have the courage to do that?

I wrote the novel about these two remarkable people because I felt it was time that the story was told from the English point of view.

I agree completely which is why I was thrilled to discover your book. Is there something in that era that you are glad we have moved beyond, and something you wish we could reclaim?

I would like to have been able to say that in almost 1,000 years of history we have moved beyond fighting and wars and men dying “for a cause”. Sadly, war is as rife now as it was back then.

I wish we could reclaim the 14th October 1066 and fight the battle again. If I had a time machine I would go back and advise Harold to fortify his shield wall and take extra care not to let the Normans break through.

If Harold had won that day, not William, our entire history – including that of America – would be completely different.

Incredible how one battle can change the course of destiny for so many. What piqued and held your interest in this subject and your angle on it?

I was increasingly frustrated that English history books always seemed to start at 1066 with the Norman Conquest. Our Kings and Queens are numbered from Duke William – but we have just as much a rich and interesting history before 1066.

I also wanted to strip away the Norman propaganda that was written by the victors. William had no right to the English throne, Harold II was our legitimate King – killed on the battlefield by an invading army.

I decided to write the story from the English point of view and set the record straight a little. Harold is also a local hero, for I live close to Waltham Abbey, Essex. He founded the original abbey (the one that is there now was built a couple of centuries later)

Most authors, once they have written their book move on to the next and start researching that, become involved in the new set of characters, who they were, what they did etc. This is so for me as I am currently writing a series of historical adventures that have a dash of fantasy in them – The Sea Witch Voyages, my main character being a charmer of a rogue, a handsome pirate. I write these books for light-hearted fun, they are not meant to be taken seriously. The great thing about them, unlike the straight historicals, my character gets to stay alive at the end of the book!

However, I am still very much interested in King Harold II as I am involved with a proposed movie. 1066 is to be a UK made movie depicting the events that led to the Battle of Hastings – again from the English point of view. While it is not actually based on my novel, it is based on historical fact – and as I am also co-screenplay writer obviously there is a lot of my novel and my influence in the story line.

We intend to be as accurate as we can, while also being entertaining (this is a movie, not a documentary) although we hope to include a documentary in with the movie DVD package.

At the moment we are still looking for funding, but that will come. We have cast several characters and already the movie is generating interest and excitement – so watch this space!

A movie! I can’t wait! Sounds like an excellent date night. Any fun factoid you discovered in your research?

Yes, but this was for the previous book The Forever Queen (entitled A Hollow Crown in the UK) The novel is a prequel to I Am The Chosen King – although both are “stand alone” stories. In it I have the famous scene where King Cnut (Canute) is trying to stop the tide from turning. In fact he was trying to prove that he could not command the tide, but the Victorians slightly twisted the facts – as they often did. The real event probably happened at a little town called Bosham, on the south coast of England near Chichester. Bosham was where Cnut and Harold’s father, Earl Godwin, had his manor house. The tide comes in very quickly so it was easy to imagine Cnut sitting on his throne on the harbourside proclaiming that he is only a mere mortal, not God, while the water rose higher and higher….

A friend, local historian John Pollock (who has sadly now passed away) decided to re-create the entire scene from my novel to see if my research was correct. He sat on a chair at the place I had described and recited to his wife who stood safely on the jetty about fifteen yards away. She could hear every word he said – and he got his feet very wet.

He was thrilled that my novel was so accurate. I didn’t like to admit to him that in fact I hadn’t really researched that scene, I merely used the familiar story, logic and a hefty dose of imagination.

Or maybe my imagination is more accurate than I realise?

Coke or Pepsi? (Mead or Wine? Ale or Port?)

Pepsi – red wine – port (not all at once though!)

Maybe Noon, Dinner, and Evening, then! Where can we find out more about, and purchase, your books?

Thank you – I’ve had a great time being here with you!

It’s been my pleasure!

Please welcome my friend Elizabeth Camden, whose debut novel, The Lady of Bolton Hill, took the reading world by delighted surprise.

Transport us to the place and time your sophomore book is set in.
The Rose of Winslow Street is set in a small New England village in 1879. Into this peaceful town comes a band of strangers from Romania. Fleeing generations of war and upheaval, these people are starkly different from the American villagers on almost every level. I wanted to explore what would happen if I took two highly sympathetic groups of people and set them in stark opposition to each other. The hero, Michael Dobrescu, is on a quest to secure a safe harbor for his family, at the same time as he tries to unravel a century-old mystery that is hidden deep in the heroine’s home. In short order, he seizes the house and proclaims ownership over it, dispossessing the heroine and her family.

Michael and Libby are natural enemies, but they are also both exceptionally smart people who develop a grudging respect for each other as they battle for ownership of the house. Although most of the story is told from Libby’s point of view, the reader will ultimately learn a great deal of what it was like to come of age in a 19th century aristocratic household in Romania.

I absolutely love reading historical novels set in places, and with people, who are little known. This sounds delightful. What do you, and what will we, love about your hero and heroine?
The hero, Michael Dobrescu, really dominates this book. I think all women secretly long for a man who adores children, sets his woman on a pedestal, and will lay his life on the line for a cause he believes in. These qualities often come bundled with a heavy dose of things that drive women nuts. I wanted to write a book that is open-minded about this sort of raw, brawny man. Michael Dobrescu alternately makes Libby weak at the knees or want to throw him out of the house for his sometimes thoughtless, blunt masculine conduct. These sort of men are the fuel and the engine that makes our world turn, and I wanted to celebrate that kind of unabashed masculinity in The Rose of Winslow Street.

My husband always bemoans the prevalence of the word “guys” in our current culture. I agree with you – let’s get back to the men! Is there something in that era that you are glad we have moved beyond, and something you wish we could reclaim?
I wish we could reclaim the sense of community people had in earlier eras. How many of us barely know our next-door neighbors? That simply was not possible in the 19th century, when people tended to grow up, marry, and raise their children within a few miles of where they were born. Although there are plenty of problems that come along with these deeply entrenched roots, I envy people who enjoy such a sense of community. I’ve never lived in one state more than a few years, so perhaps this is why I am so fascinated by the comfort of a closely-knit community.

On the other hand, one of the things I am grateful for in contemporary life is the sense of physical security most of us take for granted. In The Rose of Winslow Street, the hero and his family are fleeing decades of war and the constant fear that comes along with threats of invasion or famine. Unremitting anxiety sinks into a person and permeates their outlook on life, ability to form stable relationships, and plan for the future.

I’ve moved a lot, too, so I feel that sense of longing sometimes, too. Any fun factoid you discovered in your research?
The perfume industry plays a large part of this book, so I needed to learn how perfume was produced and sold in the 19th century. Collecting and distilling the essence of flower blooms was a massively labor intense industry, which explains why certain types of perfume are so expensive, even today. Before I began research for this book, my experience with perfume was limited to “Loves Fresh Lemon” from when I was a teenager. The more research I did into perfume, the more enchanted I became. I found myself wandering into stores I had never before set foot in, handling fabulous bottles filled with amazing scents. I discovered an outrageously overpriced store called L’Occitane en Provence. Oh my! Their products are fabulous, and their scents will make you believe you are wandering through the misty fields of southern France. I am hooked for life. I blame this new addiction to researching 19th century perfume.

This is an occupational hazard. My current work in progress deals with high-end watchmakers in the 19th century. I never paid much attention to watches either, but now I am spellbound by all clocks and watches that have a Victorian whiff about them. I’ve already picked out the one I am going to buy as a reward when I submit my final page proofs.

Oh, Victorian watchmakers. That book sounds engaging, too. Almost like a visit to the Victoria and Albert! So …Coke or Pepsi? (Mead or Wine? Ale or Port?)
Butterbeer!

Nicely done! Where can we find out more about, and purchase, your books?
My books are available at all the usual brick & mortar stores, as well as all the online outlets. As for reaching me online? I blog at http://www.elizabethcamden.com where I ramble on about the romance genre and what is going on in the book publishing industry. I hope you’ll swing by!

We will!
