FAQs

Q. What books are to come in the future?

I have just finished writing The Other Queen about Mary, Queen of Scots which is to be published in 2008 and, I have begun research for a trilogy of books about the war of the roses.  I think that may keep me busy for some time. 

Q. I enjoyed the webcast very much, is there anywhere I can see this again?

I am so glad to hear you enjoyed the webevent; it was a real experience for me too.  There is now a video of the event at www.philippagregorylive.com in case you wanted to watch again and we will be posting the videos on my site too. 

Q. Which of your books  is your favourite?

My favourite book is normally the most recent book, as I have lived and breathed the characters for so long.  As I have just finished writing The Other Queen about Mary, Queen of Scots, it is my most precious.  But, I have begun research for a trilogy of books about the war of the roses which I am finding fascinating. 

Q. Have you ever considered writing about Laetitia Knollys?

I agree that Laetitia Knollys was a fascinating woman. She appears briefly in my novel The Virgin’s Lover, which you might enjoy but I would love to write a novel about her in the future. 

Q. Are you going to write any more about Queen Elizabeth?

Elizabeth is such a key figure and she comes into two of my published books, The Queens Fool (as a young Princess) and The Virgin’s Lover (in her first years as Queen). Next fall I will publish The Other Queen about Mary Queen of Scots which features an older Elizabeth, and shows the great changes in her life.

Q. Have you ever considered writing about Jane Seymour?

I think I covered much of Jane’s courtship in The Other Boleyn Girl and I have to say, she does not interest me as much as the other wives. My next book will be The Other Queen about Mary Queen of Scots during her time in England.  It is to be released in 2008 and I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed researching and writing it.
