I am nearing the final chapters of my new novel The Queen’s Sister about Elizabeth Seymour. It is sad writing about Thomas Cromwell’s fall though the more I research the more I see he was very much the architect of the fall. He misjudged. He opened himself to danger and he did not end that marriage.

I watched the Kenneth Branagh Henry V on this wintertime afternoon and was blown away by it. Hard to believe it was made in 1989. A positive great.
