Anne's story continued...

Her best-selling books have won awards, and her knowledge of Richard III and his time was recognized when she was interviewed on PRI's The World at the announcement of positive identification of Richard's bones in 2012. It was Josephine Tey's Daughter of Time that fueled her interest in Richard III. She is a longstanding member of the Richard III Society and Historical Novel Society.  (Photo from 2019 panel at HNS Conference; with Nancy Bilyeau, Donna Russo Morin, Patricia Bracewell)
