Mandy began weaving stories in childhood and nurtured her love of language through reading novels, the bible and dabbling in poetry. From the age of ten, she devoured 'just about every historical novel she could find, ' and always dreamed of writing her own once retired. Two decades in the making and two years in research, her novel is the fruit of lifelong passion and God-given talent. Born in Yorkshire, England and raised in South Australia, Mandy draws from her English heritage to craft an elegant and witty tale of adventure, romance, and courtly intrigue set in the early 1500s Tudor era-a world she brings to life with rich detail and poetic charm.
