SUMMARY:Online Author Talk : Philippa Gregory
DESCRIPTION:Register here and submit your questions for the author before 
 the event begins.\n\nCoined as the “queen of British historical 
 fiction\,” Philippa Gregory returns to the infamous Tudor Court with a 
 tale that is both timely and timeless. We invite you to sit down with us 
 for an intriguing conversation with Gregory about her newest novel Boleyn 
 Traitor (forthcoming October 14\, 2025). \n\nJane Boleyn watches from the 
 shadows of the Tudor Court\, where secrets are currency\, every choice is 
 dangerous\, and even the faintest whisper can seal the fate of 
 queens.\n\nFor Jane\, survival demands playing every role required of her: 
 a loving wife who conceals her doubts\, a devoted sister to Anne Boleyn at 
 the height of her power\, and an obedient spy who carefully wields her 
 words. But in a court ruled by ambition and a tyrant’s sword\, Jane must 
 rely on her sharp wit and skillful maneuvering to outthink those around 
 her\, knowing that one wrong move could cost her everything. \n\nWith a 
 rich tapestry of new historical insights and lyrical language honed over 
 decades of writing\, Gregory's return to the Tudors is a new definition of 
 this most fascinating era. As the world becomes more extreme and 
 unpredictable\, Jane’s story of survival and ingenuity offers 
 a\n\ncompelling parallel\, serving as both a powerful historical narrative 
 and an echo of the challenges we face. This is a riveting tale of loyalty 
 and betrayal\, ambition and love—one that should not be missed by readers 
 this fall.\n\nRegister today for this exciting glimpse into the perilous 
 16th century royal court!\n\n \n\nAbout the Author: Dr. Philippa Gregory is
