A unique perspective on Henry, but no longer alone on my opinions of Anne

Hi all,
I’m an indie author and I’m new here. I just found the Anne Boleyn Collection by Claire and am currently reading it. I’m about 20% in. I’m so excited that I’ve finally found somebody that agrees with me 100% on who Anne was (or I should say so far since I’m only 1/4 into the book). It made it hard to go to sleep last night because I become more excited with each chapter as I read. I’d think, “Yes! Finally! I’ve been saying that for a long time! That’s exactly who Anne was!” So refreshing.

I don’t think I’ll find the same for my Henry no matter where I go and what I read, which is why I finally broke down and wrote my own historical fiction that depicts who I feel he was. I’m hoping to publish it next month. In the meantime, I’ve been fact-checking like crazy, and theboleynfiles.com has become my new favorite resource. I’ve learned so much more in the last 2 days since I’ve been on this website. So much meaty info to digest it’s almost overwhelming! Wish I had more hours in the day.

I’m absolutely fascinated by both Henry and Anne, and they have an explosive love story I can’t seem to get enough of.

Thanks to this website, I found Blood will Tell by Kyra Cornelius Kramer, and have bought that book as well. I’ll be reading that one in a few days when I finish Claire’s book. I’ve already talked to Kyra on Goodreads on the Tudor Lovers group over there (excellent group if any of you haven’t heard of it before–I love it there).

I’m excited to continue learning more and chat with anybody at all that loves Anne and thinks her an incredible woman! Off to go scour this website some more!

Thanks!
Crystal

Welcome to our happy home Crystal, we are a mixed bunch of scallywags who enjoy lively debate and sharing our woes and joys.
I look forward to reading your posts.
No you certainly are not on your own now. I guess you will soon be surprized by just how many people there are in this crazy mixed up world of ours, who feel as strongly as you do about the injustice done to Anne, George and many others in the explosive reign called Henry.
I warn you I come out with some very thought provoking and off the latch ideas, everyone is used to it by now, as well as my somewhat mad humour but for a new person they can be a little bit OTT. As Sharon, Olga and one or 2 others will tell you I keep everyone on their toes..
We are one very happy family and I love each and everyone for who and what they are, and I am very proud and honoured to have them as freinds.

Semper Fidelis, quod sum quod

Hi Crystal. I’m not a writer! Most of the time it’s all I can do to organize my thoughts enough to make a post. Laugh Welcome!
