Mayflowers for November: The Rise and Fall of Anne Boleyn (35 page)

Acknowledgements

I would like to thank historian and novelist, Prudence Bebb, for inviting me into her home, reading the early, very raw chapters of this novel, offering her encouragement and allowing me to handle her very precious Tudor Bible.

A big thank you to my sister Janet and my friend Linden who have also read sections of the novel and listened to me talking about it over cups of coffee in Shrewsbury and Hebden Bridge. To all my friends who have asked how my work is coming along, thank you so much for your interest.

A very special thank you to my agent, Kiran Kataria, from Keane Kataria Literary Agency, without whom I would not have realised my dream of becoming a published author, and finally to Endeavour Press for making this happen.
