Anthony Woodville US Kindle Pre-order and Upcoming Talks Update

It’s not long now until my debut book, Anthony Woodville: Sophisticate or Schemer is published on 15th February. I recently received my author copies, which still feels a little surreal. For me, it feels even more surreal that I have been booked for a few book signings, two local to me and another in Ludlow, where Anthony spent a lot of the last ten years of his life looking after his nephew, Edward, Prince of Wales, the future Edward V. This will be an entirely new experience for me, so I hope it goes well. Here is a list of Anthony themed events I’ll be doing so far:

I know that a few of you regular American followers have been asking when it will be available over in the US. Whilst I don’t yet have any official release date, I know that is available to pre-order on Kindle version via Amazon, so if you are able to access that, I hope it will be a good way to keep you going for now. You can find that following this link here. I will of course update if a proper publication date is released.

I have also been invited to be a guest on a few podcasts, so I will do a post at some point with links to all of those when they’re available. I would like to thank all of the hosts who have invited me, it has been a huge honour and is certainly not something I expected, which makes it feel so even more.

I also have some other talks booked this year, which is great. My next one is on one of my favourite historical women, Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle, a pioneer in science and literature. The details of this are below.
