Featured Author: Claire Ridgway

Claire Ridgway, author of The Anne Boleyn Collection and The Fall of Anne Boleyn: A Countdown, is a writer, researcher and Tudor history buff with a deep knowledge and love of everything about the Boleyn family and the time of the Tudors.

She is well known and respected for her two Tudor websites, The Anne Boleyn Files and Elizabeth Files, which contain in-depth research about the period and which promote historical authenticity. Claire likes to think of them as communities of history lovers, rather than websites, and loves nothing better than chatting to, and debating with, her visitors. History is fun!

Claire currently lives up a mountain in Southern Spain, but grew up near to Stratford-upon-Avon where she was surrounded by Tudor history. Claire is Tudor obsessed, and makes no apologies for it. She likes Rioja, chocolate and Camembert cheese. Claire is married and has three children, two dogs and two cats.

Claire and her husband, Tim, have also compiled a collection of interviews with 34 top indie authors to help inspire other indie authors and aspiring writers. The book is called “Interviews with Indie Authors: Top Tips from Successful Self-published Authors” and builds upon Claire’s amazing success publishing her own books.

David Biddle Announces New Release

beyond the will of godAuthor David Biddle is pleased to announce the release of his new mystery novel, Beyond the Will of God.

Police detective Jill Simpson investigates the murder of an Amish teenager. Tabloid reporter Frank Harris investigates mysterious Elvis sightings in Missouri farm country. As these two work first separately and then as a team, the plot progresses to include many of the legendary conspiracies people pondered during the ‘60s and ‘70s. Threaded through the story is the question of the power of music, especially loud guitar music, and whether we have missed out on identifying secret dimensions of human perception here in the 21st century. Beyond the Will of God is an off-the-grid mystery.

Beyond the Will of God was released on June 12, 2012, published by Flat Branch Press. It is available on Amazon.com as an e-book and in a bound paper edition.
