Hey friends, welcome back to the Renaissance English History podcast.

I have a bit of a treat for you today. One of the

perks of being a member or patron of this podcast is regular author chat. This is a chat we had with

my dear friend, Adrian Dillard, who is a historical fiction author, long-time Tudercon speaker,

all around just brilliant human being. We talked about

all things related to Anne Boleyn. This was in May the month where Anne was executed. So Adrian is the

author of among other books, The Ravens Widow and Corrodo. She's currently deep diving into

George Belin's writings on the Nol's sister,

so this is definitely going to be good. So this conversation went everywhere, from Anne's charisma

and courage to the mob of angry Tudor women who chased her down the strand, to whether Anne really

changed history or just surfed the waves

already forming around her. Also, fair warning, this conversation contains confessions of fever

dreams, mild soapbox moments, and some very honest takes on feminism, Henry the 8th, and the

Anne Boleyn fan girl industrial complex. So grab your tea or your wine and settle in for a juicy,

slightly rebellious chat with the one and only Adrian Dillard.

I got it. Adrian Dillard, you have written books, you have spoken at TudorCon.

You, I always say this story about you, but I'm going to say it again, just like I always remember you because your book on Jane Boulin, I read it when I was really sick.
