In the Footsteps of the Six Wives of Henry VIII

We are delighted to be part of the book tour for the launch of 'In the Footsteps of the Six Wives of Henry VIII', co-authored by Sarah Morris and Natalie Grueninger.

The authors have travelled far and wide to investigate the places that influenced these women, from the fairy tale palace of the Alhambra to the homely comforts of a modest Wiltshire Manor House.

Sarah is a creative soul, as well as an eternal optimist who generally prepares for the worst! She is an advocate of following the heart’s deepest desire as a means to finding peace and happiness. To this end, her writing is a creative expression of her joy of both learning and educating.

Drawn by an inexplicable need to write down the story of Anne Boleyn’s innocence, she published the first volume of her debut novel, Le Temps Viendra: a novel of Anne Boleyn in 2012; the second volume followed in 2013. That same year, her first non-fiction book, co-authored with Natalie Grueninger called, In the Footsteps of Anne Boleyn, was also published.

Hopelessly swept away by an enduring passion for Tudor history and its buildings, her latest book, the second of the In the Footsteps series entitled, In the Footsteps of the Six Wives of Henry VIII , is due to be published by Amberley Publishing in the UK on 15 ^th March 2016 and in the US on 19^th May.
