Thoroughly adored our visit to the Tower of London. Spent a good ten minutes just staring at the exact doors Anne Boleyn walked through to face the cruel fate inflicted by her husband. Those six women deserved better. We’ll be back to explore the palace again—half a day wasn’t enough #tudorhistory

#IndieAdvent day 8 brings us Blood of Heirs by @aliciawanstallb.bsky.social. Book 1 of the Coraidic Sagas follows heirs from two very different backgrounds, each wanting to follow their own path, with some great character work mixed in with intense action scenes.

By request, today we are going to talk about skull beer. And I'm not talking about beer served in skulls- more on that later. I mean one made with skulls. Human skulls. Specifically a medicinal beer from Scotland or Northern England. And of course not just any skull would do...🧵 #skystorians

A single beer mug sirs on a wooden beam. A light shines on it, all the rest of the photo is in darkness.

There’s a lot going on with uni funding in the uk at the moment, & I have some small experiences to share that no one will read or heed, but here goes! - I’m here on a family visa, so under current rules, I don’t qualify for “home student” status until I’ve been here 5 yrs & have indefinite leave 👇

Lovely discovery that a miniature of Mary I must have been painted by Susanna Horenbout in c.1546: amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024... My interview with Emma Rutherford airs on my podcast, Not Just the Tudors, next Monday 25th November.

Art historian says miniature is of Henry VIII’s daughter – not his sixth wife Katherine Parr

There were a few author folks i was hesitant to leave behind on the bird site. Didn’t want to shut it down just yet. I think most of them have migrated, so now is probably the time!

Our Amazon sales *literally* pay bills and feed kids and finance cat toys and help us write more. And PLEASE request our books at your local store. It would be great to see more indie stores supporting indie authors

As for Graham, first apologies you know that's a fight I couldn't win. Secondly Graham is another superb author and a decent archer in his own right. shorturl.at/M2vhP I'd reccomend Faithless as a good starting point, but if you like truly scary fae creatures go for Riven Wyrde.

Lets start the reveals ... Indie Syndicate author number 1. Instead of a childhood photo, we give you a puppy photo. Which SFF or Fantasy author is owned by this ball of cuteness?

A tricolour puppy sat in front of a planter, holding a leaf in their mouth.
they have a white stripe up their face, a black nose and are utterly adorable.

Right. So I need to do an MA in #classics / #ancienthistory. I don’t mind picking up some medieval courses, but two years PT isn’t a lot of time when I want to focus on #Rome. Also can’t move to the campus. Looking at Uni of Edinburgh and Open University distance learning MAs. Thoughts???
