Following on from the success of my first novel about Richard III in the twenty first century and demands for a sequel, I am proud to announce the second part, Richard Liveth Yet (Book II): A Foreign Country, is now finished and in the process of being edited and proof read. It is planned for…

If you would like to know about the thought and immense skill that went into the adornment of Richard’s coffin and the little three-jar casket that accompanied it, please follow this link.

I think increasingly it is Richard who has ultimately gained the greater victory.

Originally posted on Helen Rae Rants!: So it won’t be at York Minster, or a state funeral at Westminster Abbey as many people wanted; but make no mistake, this is a very big deal in Leicestershire.
