Welcome to . . . Author Suzy Henderson
Suzy Henderson is the author of The Beauty Shop
Suzy, it is so good to meet you! Tell us a little about the path you have traveled to arrive at the destination we call ‘successful author’! Don’t hold back!
Well, I was born and raised in Sunderland, a north-east town in England that’s now a bustling city. I always loved to read and found that books could take you to new places and give you great adventures. I suppose being an only child I was lonely at times, and so books became my passion, but I never once dreamed of being a writer. Fast forward a number of years, and I found myself working in a hospital – how did that happen? I became a qualified nurse and then moved south and trained to be a midwife. I got married, had two children and decided to take a career break…

WELSH WEDNESDAYS REVIEW: THE BEAUFORT BRIDE by Judith Arnopp
Via Author Christoph Fischer
It’s taken me far too long to get round to this amazing piece of historical fiction. Why am I publishing this on Welsh Wednesdays?
Not only is the book partly set in Wales, in Caldecot Castle, I’ve actually met Judith in Wales in the run up to the Llandeilo Book Fair in April and have secured myself a signed copy of her book.
At last I got time to read this and must say I am very impressed.
From the first page onwards the prose hooked me into the story of young Margaret, only 12 years old when she is married to someone twice her age. Although the brother of the king, her husband, like his mad brother, is not a great catch.
Told from the young woman’s perspective we gain a great insight into the life of the 1440s court, the life of women and nobility, politics and…

A Plain Russet-Coated Author
Via Author M.J. Logue
For reasons which are not mine to speculate on, the Historical Novel Society is no longer undertaking indie book reviews at the current time
And a very dear friend of mine has suddenly become a Kindle bestseller.
It’s rather given me food for thought – because, you know, I’ve never achieved more than mid-list success (albeit consistently – that’s not a complaint!), the reviewers are not beating a path to my door, there’s no possibility of a Rosie film.
-There’s the distant possibility of A Cloak of Zeal making it to the silver screen, but that’s different.
The most successful, most widely-shared blog post I’ve ever written, even more so about the one about being mental, was about a bloody Royalist.
My publisher says I’m a good writer, but he’s not keen on the historical definition.
And yet…
That’s what I am. That’s what I do.
My thing is the…

The Unpredictable Writing Journey
I read a book several years ago, an autobiographical account written by an American B-17 pilot. He was some writer and poet, and he would have gone on to write great stories had he not been killed in the Second World War. My heart ached when I read that. I didn't want that for him.… Continue reading The Unpredictable Writing Journey
