BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT!
Royal Collection Trust/© Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 2016
I am thrilled to announce that, as of 1 February 2021, I have signed my first publishing contract with PEN AND SWORD BOOKS, and am hard at work writing my debut biography of King Edward VI. This book will dive into Edward's family relations, personal character and upbringing, influence on England's Protestant Reformation, and his reign's long-lasting impacts.
Check back often, as I plan to share updates about the publication and tidbits from my research in the coming months!

Hi! This is me (Stephanie) at Hampton Court Palace, 2015
I'm so happy you've taken the time to stop by! I am a HUGE fan of all things Tudor, and I'm glad that you're intrigued by the period, too! This dynasty fascinates me more than any other, and there seems to be no end to the intrigue, the romance, the scandal, or the danger. It all makes me wish I could go back in time and visit (but only for a day, of course)!
On this website, I strive to provide a fun community for all Tudor Enthusiasts to come together and share our passion for this history. I share educational tidbits, personal opinions, and reviews of historical entertainment via my blog. I recommend great historical reads for all my book-loving followers out there, via my Book Recommendations page. I host giveaways, interview authors, and poll my readers on their opinions... and most of all, I love to hear from YOU - the Tudor enthusiast who's choosing to spend some time with me here and on social media. Speaking of which - make sure to connect with me on Facebook (link is at the top of the page).
I truly appreciate you taking your time to visit and join in this community. I hope you learn a thing or two while you're here, but mostly I hope that you're simply entertained and inspired to dive deeper into this historical period with me. Now, my fellow Tudor Enthusiasts, let's take a trip back in time!

Blog
This website started (in 2011!) as a simple blog with posts starting with "On this day in Tudor History…",but as The Tudor Enthusiast has grown, and I've received feedback from readers about the things they care about most, I have devoted more time to book reviews and posts about historical TV shows and movies. I've also shared a good deal about my own travels through England, and my time studying for my Master's Degree (MSt. Modern British and European History) at the University of Oxford. I'm always looking for new ideas and inspiration to write about, and I love hearing what YOU want to read about! If you have suggestions, please email me and let me know. My blog has grown and changed so much over the years already, and I need readers' help to keep it fresh and interesting!
