Found the author for that other fictional novel...Margaret Campbell Brown's "Tudor Rose". I have yet to see it being republished but with the fascination for all things Tudor it shouldn't be too long. Already her Annie One and Annie Two have been re-released :) The Queen of Hearts in a deck of cards…isn’t she supposed to have been a painting of either Elizabeth of York or Catherine of Aragon?

But a picture of her does exsist.

I will be getting this book also. I have been waiting a year for it. I’ve read all of Sandra Worths books and if you haven’t read any yourself they are all good reads!

The picture still drew me in, however...'cause the bodice was definitely not something 21st century :) The only other 'hys'terical fiction read about Elizabeth of York was read years ago. It was either written by the late great Margaret Campbell Brown, or Nora Lofts. I'm looking forward to this newest book...especially in the way Elizabeth is portrayed as reacting to the pretenders. I'm with Bladerunner as far as wanting source material. For instance, was what was available for David Starkey available to Sandra Worth?

I don't think she has much of a say in the choice, but she may know the story behind it. Yeah, that’s one of the questions that I (or others) will be sure to ask Sandra.

There's at least one extant portrait of Elizabeth of York that would have done just as well for a book about her.
