I have been fascinated for a number of years by Catherine of Aragon and Spain so I think since I like both this would be a something I definitely would enjoy reading.I also I'm curious about the way Catherine was taught so this would be great for me.
I have long been interested in Catherine of Aragon as I think she is one of the more intelligent wives of Henry VIII and always wondered at how educated she seemed to be.I am also very interested in Spain and always thought it a fascinating culture so this would be a great book for me to get hold of.
I think you will love my book then, Julie!
I think these would be a wonderful xmas gift for the mama, (me).
I am an avid reader of the Tudor period. I am a big Anne Boylen fan, but Catherine of Aragon remained steadfast in her beliefs even as she is set aside. So I have a lot of respect for this regal woman and her daughter. I am always looking for new books that combine history with creative writing to bring the royal courts alive and experience the lives of royal women. Good luck to all!
I'm fascinated by all things Tudor – your books sound very interesting and I will be looking for them!
I absolutely love history. I especially love reading about Henry VIII and his wives. Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, and Catherine Parr are my favorites.
I love reading anything Tudor history related! Thank you for doing this giveaway!
I love reading anything Tudor related, too! And it is my great pleasure to do this!
Wendy I know you should never judge a book by its cover but these are really very enticing covers and great titles. Thank you for giving us a preview of your work.
Thank you, Alex! Love my covers, too. Smile – and writing each book, as I deepened my understanding of the heart of the work, gifted me with the title.
Love all things Tudor. Lived in a Tudor cottage when I lived in England. Discovered a massive inglenook fireplace hidden behind an awful 1960s one, hidden charms to ward off evil spirits buried in the wall and witches charms in the roof. The are was also Henry V111's 'stomping' ground, so lots of Tudor history.
Always been an avid reader of novels set in the Tudor period since reading 'Royal Road to Fotheringay' by Jean Plaidy, as a school girl.
Oh – how wonderful! I would love to live in a Tudor cottage for a time – and just soak in all its history.
If you would like to write a blog piece about your Tudor cottage and all your discoveries, I would love to publish it!
Hi Wendy, your book looks fabulous. I've always loved the Tudor period of history. When I researched my family tree I discovered I am related to Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard through the Howard family. I also work on a historic estate which has an Elizabethan house at it's heart.
I am fairly new to reading and learning about Tudor history. I am an avid reader anyway, but this whole time period is becoming obsessive to me. Wow, what history there is. This is a great opportunity to learn more! Thank you.
The book looks amazing can't wait to read it.
I love reading anything about the Tudor/Elizabethan period. I have had a great interest for a long time now. I would enjoy adding your books to my collection. That is after I let my daughter read them.
I would really love to add to my library of Historical Fiction, especially one of Anne Boleyn, as she is my favourite out of the six wives of Henry V111.
I've just come back from travelling Spain, and whilst over there I fell in love with the stories of the Tudor era – Catherine of Aragon has long been a historical figure I've been interested in, but now having travelled the same paths she walked, I'm absolutely fascinated. I'd love to delve further into who she was, and it looks like Falling Pomegranate Seeds is the perfect way to do that.
Spain! How I absolutely yearn to go there again… and how lucky I am that I manage to go there once in my life, when I started researching Katherine's story.
Good luck, Bethany! I just know you will enjoy Falling Pomegranate Seeds: The Duty of Daughters.
2)You are a new to me author.
3)This sounds like a really good book!
LOL – I think all my novel children are good. Love historical fiction, and love writing novels set in the Tudor period!
I'm always looking for different stories based on the Tudor time period. I've never read your work and am always looking to find new authors to read and to add to both my personal library and the library where I work.
The Tudors do hook us, don't they?
Always love the thought of my work being available for borrowing in libraries, Kate. Smile – and I love gaining new readers!
I'd love to win this because I haven't really read any books about Catherine of Aragon. I believe she was a very strong woman and I'd love to see how you portray her story! I feel like she has a wonderful, inspiring and also heartwrenching story and she should not be overlooked!
Yes – she was indeed a strong and inspiring woman, Katie, who surmounted so much sorrow in her life.
I'm so glad I'm writing about her!
