  • Philippa Gregory’s The White Queen


  • Philippa Gregory's latest historical fiction tackles the subject of the War of the Roses and the ascendancy and later the decline of the royal house of York over the house of Lancaster. Told through the eyes of Elizabeth Woodville, "The White Queen," this is a riveting tale of a family driven by their blinding ambition, at whatever cost.

What’s a Blog, Anyway?

Good question. Basically, a blog is a diary that’s written online, and it’s short for “web log”. Writing it is as easy as writing an email, and reading it is as easy as visiting a website. A blog is usually updated whenever the authors have something new to say, and so it is more dynamic than a website, which has information that stays constant for consistency.

One great thing about a blog is that readers can make comments about our posts (or messages). To do so, you have to register for a wordpress.com account and then make your comment. All comments are reviewed before being posted live. Please note that we will not post comments that are unrelated to the message or that use inappropriate language.

For people who are familiar with blogging, there are ways to have the entries sent to you via RSS (really simple syndicate). Just sign up for a blog reader, and click on the RSS symbol in the address bar or the link on the right to subscribe. You’ll have the content of the blog sent to you directly.
