As a lover of Tudor history, you want to Immerse yourself Deeply in the Past.
But how do you feel that deep sense of connection we history lovers crave from merely reading the stories of Tudor people and events in the pages of a book, particularly when there is so much information – and misinformation – out there?
If this is your deepest wish, and you struggle to find high quality, factual information you need to make it happen, then it’s time to turn this around.
Alongside committing to deliver thoroughly researched content, the one other magical ingredient that will bring you as close to time travel as humanly possible is the belief that…
It is only time, and not space, which separates us from the past.

Imagine walking away with that feeling that you have finally come home, that unique sense of being whole that only other Tudor history lovers truly understand.

Serving the Tudor Community
My Story:
Over the years, I realized that after visiting certain Tudor places, I had missed some important element of the place’s history or perhaps there was a historic site nearby that I had missed altogether. It was so frustrating!
Then something amazing happened. Back in 2010, when I was writing my first book about Anne Boleyn, a whole new world opened up in my imagination. For the first time, I learned about the great power houses of the sixteenth century; how the rooms were used and flowed from one to another and what life actually was like in a Tudor palace. I could see everything in vivid detail and I was finally able to place important Tudor events in the places in which they occurred; it was revelatory and so uplifting! This rich and detailed understanding helped me to more deeply connect with the past. I now know how to make the most of any virtual or physical journey into our Tudor past. In short, I have mastered the art of time travelling like a pro…
