Menewood is out now!
The second novel about Hild of Whitby MENEWOOD was ublished 3 October. It's a big book. Why? And what's in it? And how come it's so very beautiful?
The second novel about Hild, Menewood, is out now in North America in hardcover, audiobook, and ebook, and in the UK in audiobook and ebook, with the hardcover available in late November.
It has a gorgeous cover by Anna and Elena Balbusso—the same artists who painted the Hild cover. And, as with Hild, I forgive the anachronisms because it’s just too beautiful to mess with. The Balbusso twins…

Anna and Elena Balbusso Twins, Tomato Picker, 2021.
"The tomato picker is imprisoned by the branches and roots like chains of the tomato plants. It is a symbolic image to raise public awareness on the problem of the exploitation of seasonal agricultural workers. It is a worldwide problem. In this pandemic period, the condition of these workers is even more serious."

Another beautiful art piece by Anna and Elena Balbusso.
This final piece in the Six Tudor Queen series by Alison Weir is of Catherine Parr and in my opinion this is my favourite design out of them all.
I especially love that like the Anna von Kleve and Jane Seymour ones that the artist took inspiration from a portrait of this Tudor queen.
The portrait that inspired this design is the Melton Constable or Hastings portrait of Catherine, which was formally labelled as Lady Jane Grey.
This is not an original though but a 17th century replica of 16th century original paintings. It’s one of my favourites of Catherine Parr as it gives a better idea as to what this queen looked like.
Obviously there are slight differences with the sleeves and design pattern, but the colours and overall style is the same.
