A Quiet Reflection by Melissa [short story]

I wrote this story for the site a while back. Charles has always stuck out to me.

Wow, this is a late post! My apologies, this week has been insane – I found out I’m moving in two weeks so I’m trying to get all of that straightened away!

This weeks post is a story written by myself! I’m nervous, but excited to be sharing this. I haven’t done any creative writing since I was in grade school!

Charles Brandon always struck me as someone who was simply known has Henry’s best…

Netflix by Lucien Young [Poem]

A fun throwback to a submission from Lucien, who wrote Shakespearean sonnets with a modern day twist!

I received an email from Lucien about his book and was immediately intrugied. Shakespeare and Kim Kardashian? What? Amazing, thats what. And I don’t even keep up with the Kardashians. I’m happy to feature a poem from his book, #sonnets, as the first post after the hiatus.

A note from the author,

I’m a sitcom writer and the author of several humour books, including Alice in Brexitland and Trump’s…

Understanding Anne Boleyn - Rebecca Larson [Write up]

Yesterday I shared a throwback post, a poem about Mark Smeaton. Today lets talk about Anne Boleyn. A past write up from Rebecca Larson!

This is a particularly exciting post for me today. I’ve been reading articles on Tudors Dynasty for years before I even thought of creating this website, so the fact Rebecca was interested in having something posted on mine is a little mind blowing to me! If you’re interested in reading this on her site, as well as any other articles she has click here

Recently I’ve read several books on…

TudorCon 2019 - Review

TudorCon 2019 – Review

This time last week, I was in Manheim, Pennsylvania on a trip almost everyone I told thought was the most nerdy thing I’ve done in my 29 years. They weren’t wrong.

I spent the evening having some drinks, mingling, and watching entertainment I never thought I would. It honestly surpassed everything I expected, and this was just the first day. I had two full days left to experience something I…

She stood up, and I thought she was going to reject me, but what she said next left me speechless. “I do not wish to wait until this evening.” She took my hand and pulled me up, so I was standing…

Lionheart - C J Lewis [Short Story]

Lionheart – C J Lewis [Short Story]

Alright folks, fresh off an awful week of being terribly sick with a head cold, and spraining a muscle in my neck, ATWC is back with a story! Fair warning, its not Tudor, but takes place during the Crusades. I allowed this one, for two reasons. One, a little change is a good thing in my mind, and two, who isn’t interested in the turmoil of the 1100s?!

This story has been brought to us by C J…

Emmie and the Tudor King - Natalie Murray [Extract]

Emmie and the Tudor King – Natalie Murray [Extract]

A surprise second post of the night! With all of the hurricane nonsense we had to put up with, doing any website work was hard. We were without power for about 55 hours!

Anyway, this extract comes from Natalie, who has written a YA novel called Emmie and the Tudor King. Reading this, I can’t help but smile, thinking about how often I have day dreamed about being at court. Also, can we please…
