Hi, my name is Michele, nice to meet you!
I'm a historical fiction & non-fiction writer from Indiana, USA. I love researching and writing about medieval kings and queens in England, especially during the Wars of the Roses and the ensuing Tudor Dynasty.
I am so excited to be releasing my very first book entitled “Usurpers: A New Look at Six Medieval Kings” which will be published in September 2021 by Pen & Sword Books.
Check out my blog to learn more about the Tudors, the Wars of the Roses, and other infamous medieval rulers from England.
What a well written and interesting piece. Oftentimes, I find this type of "backstory" to be a bit tedious to read, but Michele Morrical's writing style was easy to read, understand, and follow. ~ Facebook follower
