About the Author
Suzannah Dunn
Suzannah Dunn was born in London, and grew up in the village of Northaw in Hertfordshire (for Tudor 'fans': Northaw Manor was the first married home of Bess Hardwick, in the late 1540s) . Having lived in Brighton for nineteen years, she now lives in Shropshire. Her novel about Anne Boleyn (The Queen of Subtleties) was followed by The Sixth Wife, on Katherine Parr, and The Queen's Sorrow, set during the reign of Mary Tudor, 'Bloody Mary', England's first ruling queen. Her forthcoming novel - to be published in hardback in May 2010 - is The Confession of Katherine Howard. Prior to writing about the Tudors, she published five contemporary-set novels and two collections of stories. She has enjoyed many years of giving talks and teaching creative writing (from six weeks as 'writer in residence' on the Richard and Judy show, to seven years as Programme Director of Manchester University's MA in Novel Writing) .
