Charity Bishop is funny, quirky, analytical, a little sentimental, and occasionally forgetful, with an offbeat sense of humor, a tendency to like sci-fi, and a storehouse of knowledge about "useless trivia." She gets fixated on learning things, and obsesses over them until she knows everything there is to know about them, then looks for something new to learn. She gets bored with "same-ness," but is good at impartiality and seeing both sides in an argument. In fact, she's likely to argue both sides for the sheer fun of it.
She grew up in the church and was saved at a young age, but re-evaluated and re-dedicated her life to Christ three years ago. Since then, God has encouraged her to trust Him with her life and future – which sometimes is an uphill battle for a stubborn girl. As she struggles with understanding His ways along with her characters, He gently reveals the answers. He's her co-author, both in the stories she tells and in her very own story.
Her day job is a magazine editor, and her hobbies (other than writing books) include over-analyzing everything she comes into contact with, vigorously defending various incarnations of Sherlock Holmes against perceived injustices, irritating her friends with theological musings, and MBTI typing fictional characters.
Experience all seven thrilling titles in The Tudor Throne Series in one complete collection! Follow Sir Thomas Lovell, the king's enforcer, as he navigates political, religious, and social upheaval while attempting to protect the throne from the would-be usurper, the Duke of Suffolk.
The series begins in 1501 with The Usurper's Throne. King Henry risks everything to bring a young Katharine of Aragon to his kingdom, hoping a dynastic marriage will protect him from his ruthless adversary, the Duke of Suffolk, but Sir Thomas unravels a horrific plot that stretches from the dark corners of an abbey into the Welsh Marches.
Lovell's roundup of traitors and the aftermath of a public execution follow him to Wales for The Welsh Gambit. Old rivalries and recent wounds resurface as the country draws together for a tournament that might end in bloodshed.
He then journeys to the coast to potentially arrest Suffolk's brother, but unravels further intrigues and sinister plots that involve a shipwreck and a secret message concealed within a throne in The King's Players.
The Secret in the Tower takes Lovell back to London, to track down a notorious conspirator against the crown that leads to a daring chase on the Thames.
In The Queen's Falconer, Lovell recruits young Lambert Simnel, once Pretender to the Throne, to solve a mystery and unearth a nest of traitors.
His tenuous friendship with the young falconer continues into The Last Fire-Eater, in which the royal court accompanies Princess Margaret to Scotland for the marriage they hope will secure them against Suffolk.
At last, Lovell has a chance to capture his sworn enemy, Suffolk, in Isabella's Daughter, the compelling conclusion to his decade-long quest to bring death to any who threaten the stability of the English throne.
Along the way, you will meet and fall in love with a host of original characters, historical figures interpreted in new ways, solve mysteries, crawl through secret passages, and come to know and love the Tudor court as never before, in the unexplored period before Anne Boleyn ever arrived at court. Meet the spirited teenaged Henry VIII, who loves falcons and poetry, the dark-haired Estrella, loyal friend and companion to Katharine of Aragon, Thomas More before the 'Sir,' and many more figures, in a one of a kind series of murder, romance, intrigue, betrayal, and passion.
