@GenealogyBeech Thank you!

@drashleyfirth That looks a really good read,

@camilathomas403 @penswordbooks Thank you, @camilathomas403. There were sadly too many women to include, so many forgotten stories.

@drashleyfirth @penswordbooks Beautiful milestone, Ashley the title alone feels powerful. Love how it honors forgotten voices from history.

@Thehistorybits @StonesofVision @penswordbooks Thank you, @Thehistorybits! I'm also looking forward to reading your book!

@drashleyfirth @StonesofVision @penswordbooks Congratulations! Looking forward to getting my hands on a copy. 🎉🎉🎉

@Thehistorybits A wonderful review! Congratulations.

Oh wow! What a wonderful review to wake up to! "Highly readable and entertaining, this is the sort of history book I wish I had as a boy." "I challenge anyone with an interest in medieval Britain to not find something they will learn from this book, and I look forward to the next instalment. Highly recommended." It has made my day! 😁😁😁 @PSHistory @penswordbooks @historia_hwa
