About the Author
I’m a No 1 bestselling novelist whose 21 books have sold over 3m copies in 14 languages worldwide. 10 of my titles have been top 10 bestsellers in hardback and paperback. My experience on glossy magazines was the inspiration for my debut, the smash-hit comedy Simply Divine. I then pivoted to historical fiction with the bestselling Windsor Trilogy. The Governess was about Marion ‘Crawfie’ Crawford, the young Scottish teacher who brought fun and normality to the childhood of Elizabeth II. The Duchess explored the incredible rise of Wallis Simpson whilst The Princess traced the young Diana Spencer’s extraordinary path to the altar. The Queen’s Painter, my latest novel, has Tudor artist Hans Holbein as its hero. Henry VIII’s court has been novelised every which way, but never from the point of view of the man who was its ultimate insider. Who observed it all so closely and knew and painted every major figure. But what did Hans make of the bloody dramas for which he had a ringside easel? In particular, the death of Anne Boleyn, his first patron and long-time friend. Did he use his genius to get revenge? Out June 18 from Mountain Lion Press.My Wendsite is wendyholden dot net
