The Spanish Bride: A Novel of Catherine of Aragon, 2005, written by Julianne Ardian Lee[3]A Lady Raised High: A Novel of Anne Boleyn, 2006, written by Allyson James (also known as Jennifer Ashley and Ashley Gardner)[4]Plain Jane: A Novel of Jane Seymour, 2006, written by Sarah A. Hoyt[5]

Sarah A. Hoyt (born November 18, 1962) is a Portuguese-born American science fiction, fantasy, mystery, and historical fiction writer.

She was the leader of the Sad Puppies campaign in the year that it ceased nominating candidates.

Sad Puppies was an unsuccessful[1]right-wing[2] anti-diversity[3] voting campaign run from 2013 to 2017 and intended to influence the outcome of the annual Hugo Awards, the longest-running prize (since 1953) for science fiction or fantasy works. It was started in 2013 by author Larry Correia as a voting bloc to get his novel Monster Hunter Legion nominated for a Hugo award, and then grew into suggested slates, or sets of works to nominate, in subsequent years (led by Correia in 2014, and then Brad R. Torgersen in 2015). According to the Los Angeles Times, Sad Puppies activists accused the Hugo Awards "of giving awards on the basis of political correctness and favoring authors and artists who aren't straight, white and male".[1]
