In my latest interview on YouTube, I chat with historical novelist Wendy Johnson about her debut novel, "The Traitor's Son", her involvement in the "Looking for Richard" project, and her thoughts on the infamous Richard III.
We explore:
- What being close to the 2012 discovery in Leicester changed for her as a writer and Ricardian
- Why start with boyhood, and what newcomers should unlearn about Richard
- Fact vs fiction: where the record ends and imagination begins
- Favourite sources for Edward, George, and Richard
- Places that shaped the story: Ludlow, Middleham, London
- Teasers for Books 2 & 3 in the trilogy
- Plus: Wendy’s top Ricardian must-visit sites, the scene she’d film first, and one non-fiction pick to read next.
