0:00.0	The Tudors Dynasty Podcast.
0:04.0	Hello and welcome back to the show. I'm your host, Rebecca Larson. Today, I am joined by Dr.
0:10.7	Nikki Clark to talk about her new book, The Waiting Game, the Untold Story of the Women
0:16.5	Who Served the Tudor Courts courts. Nikki, welcome back.
0:21.9	Hi, thanks for having me.
0:23.7	And I should correct the title already.
0:26.0	I already messed it up.
0:26.9	The Tudor Queens, the women who served the Tudor Queens.
0:30.6	I'm so sorry.
0:32.3	No, it's fun.

1:29.9	US yet? It is not available in the US yet, but it's going to be, hopefully, about January
1:37.4	2025. We don't have a precise date yet, but I do have a US publisher, and it is kind of
1:42.8	in progress, so it will come into the U.S.
1:45.6	Wonderful. Well, put it on your wish list or order it from the UK. I just go out and get this book
