Book One of the Six Tudor Queens series:

Infidel: The Daughters of Aragon. The story of Catherine of Aragon before she was Queen of England.
Born in the glittering courts of Castile and Aragon and forged in the shadow of war, Catalina de Aragón grows up surrounded by queens, rebels, and ghosts. She is her mother’s last daughter, the final jewel of a dynasty built on conquest and faith, and the one child Isabella of Castile cannot bear to lose.
But destiny has already claimed Catalina.
Promised to Prince Arthur of England since childhood, she is raised to bind kingdoms, soothe old wounds, and carry the hopes of an empire across the sea. Yet, Spain fractures under rebellion, grief, and the ruthless zeal of its own rulers.
From the burning streets of Granada to the storm‑lashed Bay of Biscay, Catalina and her sisters must navigate a treacherous path shaped by ambition, betrayal, and the dangerous love of men who fear the power of queens. She learns to read cyphers, to read hearts, and to stand unbroken even as her childhood is stripped from her piece by piece.
And when she finally sails for England armed with her mother’s lessons, her father’s steel, and the ghosts of the Alhambra at her back, Catalina steps into her fate not as a girl, but as a force.
A princess.
A survivor.
A daughter of Aragon.
Infidel is the story of a young woman raised for greatness and destined to reshape the fate of nations. This is Catherine of Aragon as she has never been seen before. She is fierce, vulnerable, and unforgettable.
A sweeping, intimate portrait of sisterhood, survival, and the making of a dynasty, Infidel reveals the hidden lives of a woman whose courage shaped the Tudor world.

Reviews of Infidel:
Oh Look, Another Book! – Review
I went in expecting a stately procession of royal marriages, polite alliances, and the occasional bit of historical intrigue.
What I got instead was a steady emotional ambush.
This is one of those books that looks, at first glance, as though it’s going to behave itself—courtly settings, careful diplomacy, everyone dressed beautifully and saying the right things at the right time. And then, quite quickly, it becomes apparent that absolutely no one is having a good time, and the entire future of Spain is balancing precariously on a series of increasingly unfortunate events. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Mysterious Universe of Books – Review:
What I liked most was the contrast between how beautiful everything looks on the surface and what’s actually going on underneath. There’s all the richness and ceremony, but also tension, religion, and power struggles, and those things really affect people’s lives.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Every Chapter Counts – Review:
What emerges is a narrative that moves from the personal to the political without losing sight of either. It begins with a child learning how to exist within her world and expands into a broader exploration of power, identity, and inheritance. By the end, the story does not feel concluded so much as established, leaving the sense that what has been formed here will continue to unfold beyond the final page.

Book Two of the Six Tudor Queens series:
For now, I die, the fall of Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII’s second wife.
In the gilded halls of Tudor England, where the favour of a king can elevate a family to dizzying heights or cast them into the shadows of history, Anne Boleyn’s tragic fall unfolds in all its terrifying detail.
Queen Anne believes she has secured her family’s legacy. But as political tides shift and the king’s affections wane, Anne finds herself ensnared in a web of treachery and betrayal. Gossip and rumour become truth, and her fall unwinds at a terrifying pace. Faced with false accusations, treasonous plots, and the relentless scheming of her enemies, Anne must navigate a perilous path to secure her daughter’s future and her own survival.
King Henry VIII faces the devastating evidence of his beloved Anne’s betrayal. Confronted with undeniable accusations and treasonous plots, Henry grapples with the pressure to preserve his honour and secure his kingdom. Can he trust his queen, who he sacrificed so much to make his wife, or should he listen to gossip and rumours?
In For Now I Die, witness the harrowing final days of Anne Boleyn through the eyes of both husband and wife – days filled with defiance, heartache, and an indomitable spirit. This gripping novel delves into the minds and hearts of a King and a Queen who dared to challenge the boundaries of their time, and a king who believed his queen’s betrayal warranted the ultimate price.

For now, I Die is available on Audible, read by award-winning actress Judy Clifton.
Book Three of the Six Tudor Queens series:
Out of the Ashes, the story of Jane Seymore, Henry VII’s third wife.
In the aftermath of Anne Boleyn’s brutal downfall, Jane Seymour is thrust into the scorched ashes of a fractured royal court and into the arms of a king she finds repellent. His bloated pride, mercurial temper, and the ghosts of two dead queens stir not desire, but dread.
Quiet, devout, and long dismissed as unremarkable, Jane becomes Henry VIII’s third wife and the unlikely figure entrusted with restoring order and delivering the one prize he craves above all: a male heir.
To survive, Jane must become what the court demands: the obedient bride, the submissive consort, the vessel for England’s future. But behind the mask lies a woman torn between loyalty and conscience, ambition and faith and haunted by the blood price of her crown.
As she walks the knife-edge of Tudor politics, Jane must decide how far she will go to protect her beliefs, her legacy, and the fragile peace she’s fought to create.
Out of the ashes of scandal rises a queen whose silence speaks louder than rebellion and whose sacrifice will echo through history.
Out of the Ashes is a tender, haunting portrait of quiet defiance and of the queen whose silence reshaped a kingdom.
Out of the Ashes is available on Audible, read by award-winning actress Judy Clifton. FREE on Kindle Unlimited and 99p/99c on Kindle.
