Autor

Margaret W. Price lives in Worcester Park Surrey, UK near London. She has spent most of her life there with spells in Yorkshire and Cornwall which she loves. She is single and lives with her beloved pets, Hansel a miniature golden, long-haired dachshund and two sealpoint Siamese cats. She loves animals, gardening travel and the Arts-particularly the operas and music of Richard Wagner as she is a musician and a retired Head of Music in Surrey schools after studying at the Royal Academy of Music in London and as a piano and flute teacher. Now, she is retired, she is free to indulge her passion for writing historical novels. She has been writing these for some years, but never had the time whilst in her full-time teaching career to send her work to publishers. British History, particularly Scottish History and British Mediaeval History, has always been a great passion for Margaret as she has Scottish ancestors, and her mother was part Scottish, so the desire to write this book sprung from this interest. This is Margaret's second historical novel. Her debut novel ","THE WHITE BOAR AND THE RED DRAGON about Richard III and Henry Tudor, was published last year
