Tony Riches is the author of of a number of richly researched, wonderfully vivid historical novels about several remarkable Tudor figures (and a few not-Tudor ones).

He also blogs at The Writing Desk, where he showcases historical novels and authors, and offers smart writing advice. It’s a lovely place to browse when you are looking for your next historical read.

Tony interviewed me back in May, on the publishing of The Road to Murder, Book one of the Tom Walsingham Mysteries. Now he has been kind enough to have me contribute a guest post about the way history and story weave together in Book Two – A Treasonous Path.

You can find the post here.
