Читать книгу Secrets of the Tudor Court - D.L. Bogdan - Страница 5

I would first like to thank my agent, Elizabeth Pomada, for all of her hard work in making my lifelong dream a reality. I’d also like to thank my editor, John Scognamiglio, of Kensington Publishing, for taking a chance on me and patiently guiding me through this amazing process. My gratitude also goes to the fine people at the British Archives in Kew for scoping out all of the obscure information on the Third Duke of Norfolk and his family, along with every library I’ve ever entered (University of Wisconsin-Madison, McMillan Memorial Library, and the Marshfield Public Library in particular). I am continually thrilled by the interlibrary loan system! My acknowledgments would not be complete if I did not recognize the people who have supported me throughout this long journey: my mother, Cindy Bogdan, who always took time to let me read my latest scene to her on the phone; Candy Baer, Cathy Renner, Crystal Johnston, Mark Scarborough, the Barton family, the Brand family, Dr. Jeff Kleiman, Dr. Katie Kalish, Teresa Carlson, Victoria Fletcher Schultz, and everyone else who believed in me along the way. Last but not least, I want to thank Dr. David Head, author of the biography The Ebbs and Flows of Fortune: The Life of Thomas Howard, Third Duke of Norfolk. Without his work and valuable insights along the way, I would never have been able to entertain you with the Howards’ incredible story.
