Macpherson's Life of James II, published in 1775 is the basis of most works on Lucy Walter. Is this a reliable source or #fakehistory? The truth is in Charles IIs #SecretQueen out 30 October from @penswordbooks #LucyTuesday @HistoriaHWA @17thCenturyLady @HistoryRage @1642Author

In 1775 James Macpherson implied that Lucy was in Paris in August 1650 & yet 5 eyewitness put her in Holland at the very same time. Who do you believe, the facts or the popular Macpherson myth? Charles IIs #SecretQueen is out on 30 October from @penswordbooks #LucyTuesday

#WorldBookDay2026 My next book is so close...30 October 2026. Also working on Volume 3 of Science of Arms. @penswordbooks

This lovely quote just came in from the amazing @TEKinsey, author of the #LadyHardcastleMysteries about #TheDogParkDetectives Paw and Order. I'm so chuffed!! #AmWriting #CrimeFiction #CosyCrime #CozyMysteries #dogs #Doglife #dachshund #DogMum

With the purchase of the Roche Castle Estate in the early #17thCentury, Lucy’s great-grand parents put the Walter family on the map, but this was not only property & land they owned. Read the real Lucy Walter story on 30 October from @penswordbooks #SecretQueen #LucyTuesday

@JimElliott95607 @17thCenturyLady @penswordbooks @SarahBWatkins @HistoriaHWA @RestorationHat @1642Author @restorationcake @SueCooperBridge @_FrancesOwen @HistoryRage @MaraTimon Interestingly, the House of Lords couldn't find a legal precedent for Alimony in 1647. So they ruled that William Walter was to keep and maintain his estranged Wife. Today is marks milestone for women's rights. Learn more in my upcoming biography of Lucy Walter #SecretQueen

@LouiseBurfDons @The_CWA Great catching up with you again, Louise!

Christmas warmth at The Morpeth Arms, Millbank — a sparkling night with Mara Timon (City of Spies) and Jane McLoughlin (The Perfect Couple). The CWA felt brighter than ever.

Last night I pressed the send button, Lucy is with my publisher @penswordbooks. The editing process with @SarahBWatkins begins & hopefully my Lucy will be in your hands this time next year. This just the start of the Lucy adventure! #secretqueen
