Hi, everyone! The link to this forum came up today on my Facebook page as I follow The Anne Boleyn Files there, so I popped over to join…and found out that I’d already done so, several years ago! No idea why I never introduced myself then or posted anywhere, though. I’m glad I found my way back after all this time!

Anyway, I’m a medieval/Tudor history geek, read almost everything I can get my hands on about it all (with one or two exceptions ), and can never resist adding more books, fiction and non-fiction, to my collection. I live in eastern Virginia and am a stay at home mom of two, both of whom are now in college so I have lots more time to read these days, and to participate in forums like this. When I’m not hanging out online (which I do a LOT!), I’m either reading, gardening, cross-stitching, or cleaning up after the two cats who own me. I’m also an avid genealogist, although I’m still fairly new at it, and spend hours on end looking for clues to my family’s past. Haven’t found any connections to Tudor ancestors yet, but it’s not for lack of trying!
