Medieval Woman: Blogging with Historical Novelist Susan Higginbotham

Medieval History, and Tudors Too!

Wednesday, August 22, 2007

I'm pleased to have Nan Hawthorne doing a guest post tonight. Check out her Blue Lady Tavern blog and her Novels Set in Dark Ages and Medieval England blog.

Susan Higginbotham: I've published two historical novels set in fourteenth-century England and featuring the Despenser family: The Traitor's Wife: A Novel of the Reign of Edward II and Hugh and Bess. My third novel, The Stolen Crown, set during the Wars of the Roses, is narrated by Henry, Duke of Buckingham, and his wife, Katherine Woodville. My fourth novel, The Queen of Last Hopes focuses on Margaret of Anjou, one of the most maligned queens in English history. I am currently working on a novel set in Tudor England. I use this blog to post about history (mostly late medieval and Tudor England), historical fiction, and whatever strikes my fancy from time to time. Thanks for stopping by! The title of this blog, by the way, comes from the song "Evil Woman" by the Electric Light Orchestra. Back when this song was new, I misheard the lyrics as "Medieval Woman."
