A Spirited and Most Courageous Prince
Those who have met me will know I have a bit of a thing for historical Richard the Third (as well as Shakespeare’s play).
You may like to know I’ve written a Richard III alternative history story called “Borrowed Robes” for the anthology, A Spirited and Most Courageous Prince – the proceeds of which go to Scoliosis Support & Research UK.
‘Borrowed Robes’ is the story of a contemporary theatre company rehearsing Shakepeare’s play about the Good King Richard, and speculating what their world might look like if he’d lost the battle of Bosworth.
A Spirited and Most Courageous Prince was released on 2 October – King Richard’s birthday, and features a foreword by the actor Robert Lindsay, who became a Ricardian after he played Shakespeare’s version of the character. (And it’s a delight to me that he references my story in his foreword!)
The ebook and paperback are both available through Amazon
