    I can’t wait!!!

    1. Claire says:

      I’m excited too! Thanks, Barb 🙂

  2. Maggyann says:

    You must be a jumbled up bag of excitement and nerves. Well done on being so organised though. It will be great. I am looking forward to the book.

    1. Claire says:

      I am excited and nervous and rather fried! Thank you!

  3. Louise says:

    I am so looking forward to this book. It will be a great antidote to all the myths and rumours. And just as important, told from the heart.

    1. Claire says:

      I did get very emotional at times writing this book!

  4. GADawn says:

    Can hardly wait! So looking forward to this this book (I have been holding back ordering 1st book so I can get both together!) Book website is great – just had a peek at it. Like all your followers, I just can’t get enough of Tudor history! Well done and best wishes – hope this book flys off the shelves as well.

    1. Claire says:

      Thank you! I hope it’s popular too, we’ve just hit the 4000 sales mark for The Anne Boleyn Collection so I’m over the moon.

  5. Anne-fan says:

    I am QUITE interested in seeing this, and thanks! A poster on another site dared claim that Anne Boleyn was ‘Henry’s illegitimate daughter’, and this book would certainly provide proof that she was not.
    Looking forward to this book 🙂

    1. NanBoleyn says:

      LOL! so by that site’s logic, Henry would have been the one that committed Incest! or he would have been like 8-9 years old when he became her father, I know he was a precocious child, but really??! I’m math challenged but even I could figure out there was a 10yr age difference between them Henry b. 1491, Anne b. 1501. My head aches after this mind bender! lol
      Neither proposition is viable. Some sites just gather good and bad information and throw it out there without sense of responsibility.
      Hurrah for Claire and congratulations on the new website. It is a lot of work to keep up with them. Claire you must work day and night!

      1. Claire says:

        When Henry VIII was asked point blank about the rumours regarding him sleeping with Anne’s sister and her mother, he replied “Never with the mother” and I believe him. He would never have slept with Anne if he had thought that she was his daughter as sexual sin was thought to have dire consequences and he would not have wanted to risk deformities etc. in an heir to the throne. Like NanBoleyn, I do not believe there is any evidence that Elizabeth slept with Henry or that she had a dubious reputation.

        Thank you for your kind words on the website, I do work silly hours but I love what I do so it’s not really “work”!

        1. Anne-fan says:

          I nearly howled with laughter on reading about the Anne-Henry incest,, but of course, when I tried to set the record straight, I was told I was crazy! LOL!

          Looking forward to getting your book. Can I still get a copy of your first? Thanks 🙂

  6. Robert Parry says:

  7. Nancy says:

    Congratulations! When do you anticipate the book coming out? I’d shoot for a date of May 19!

    1. Claire says:

      I’m aiming for end of April/1st week of May so that people can use it to count down to the execution. Thanks, Nancy!

  8. Sharon says:

    Claire,
    Congratulations on your new book. I can not wait until I have a copy. I am so excited for you!!!

  16. Charlie says:

    Awesome idea for a book! I like the whole concept of counting down days to mirror present times, makes it all the more real and difficult to forget.

  17. Ashley says:

    Cant wait to read it!!!!!! Since you did an awesome job with your first book claire I think this book will also be great!! 🙂

  18. Stephanie M. says:

    I gotta tell you, I have been obsessed with Anne Boleyn since I was in high school and Anne of The Thousand Days was on TV late one night and I just happened to catch it! (Yes, not the most historically accurate movie ever). I am so thrilled there is a website like this for her! She is such a beautiful enigma and you are doing a tremendous job! Keep up the great work!

  19. Linda Saether says:

    You are a busy lady! I look forward to reading your new book. Love the concept, and the cover is just heart wrenching and brilliant. Congratulations Claire!

  20. Elin says:

    Can’t wait to buy this one as well!

  21. LINDAPAPA says:

  22. Lenny Fallenstein says:

    Adding this to my wish list, thanks for the review. Never knew this book was out there.
