Decluttering tips I've picked up over the years.

The Welsh Gambit

Curl up with the next book in the thrilling Tudor Throne series!

Wanted! Early Readers! The Tudor Throne 2: The Welsh Gambit

I'm looking for early readers for my new novel, The Welsh Gambit, book 2 in my Tudor Throne series. (I already have one here, and she had fun so maybe you will too! 😉 This novel continues and deepens the stories of Margaret Pole, Lady Anwen, and Lady Anne Tyrell from the first novel, as...
