To Die For: A Novel of Anne Boleyn

HISTORICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY

Over the course of my life I have eagerly devoured hundreds of books, fiction and nonfiction, set in Tudor times and all have influenced and delighted me, but there are several books I hold in highest esteem and referred to time and again while writing this book. I’ve listed them below. In addition I was blessed with the resource of living historians. Principal among them was Lauren Mackay, Tudor researcher, scholar, and master of history/ Ph.D. candidate in Sydney, Australia. Lauren, you are a stealth weapon and I can’t express the fullness of my gratitude. Thanks to Professor Matt Panciera, Latinist at Gustavus Adolphus College, for his critical assistance with Latin. I would also like to thank the aptly named Memory Gargiulo for her Tudor historical insight and ready knowledge and Maureen Benfer, Tudor seamstress extraordinaire.
