It’s been a few years since today’s guest has visited us here on The Write Stuff, so I’m very happy to welcome Tony back again to share a bit about his latest release, Penelope- Tudor Baroness, Book 4 of The Elizabethan Series. This one sounds every bit as fascinating as Tony’s earlier Elizabethan books, and I know many of you will want to check it out.
Lady Penelope is one of the most beautiful and sought-after
women in Elizabethan England. The daughter of the queen’s
nemesis, Lady LeAce Knollys, Countess of Essex, she
becomes the stepdaughter of Robert Dudley when he
marries her mother in secret.
Penelope’s life is full of love and scandal. The inspiration for
Sir Philip Sidney’s sonnet Astrophel and Stella, she is
inevitably caught up in her brother Robert’s fateful rebellion.
A complex and fascinating woman, her life is a story of love,
betrayal, and tragedy. Discover how Penelope charms her
way out of serious charges of treason, adultery, and forgery,
and becomes one of the last truly great ladies of the Tudor
court.
A maid of honour to Queen Elizabeth, Penelope outlives the end of the Tudors with the death of the old queen and the arrival of King James, becoming a favourite lady-in-waiting to the new queen, Anne of Denmark.
“This is the story of a woman who lived life on her own terms, and one that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.”

We never cease to be fascinated by the Tudors and I can still remember the Tudor lady doll we made in sewing at junior school. I would not have liked to have lived in that period, I would not have lasted two weeks in the Tudor Court and my name would not have gone down in history!
