Author Bio For Valerie Christie:
I am a theology graduate, history geek and yoga enthusiast living and working in Belfast, Northern Ireland. My work has been published online on With Painted Words, and in a recent anthology called Tense Situations. When I'm not writing I enjoy reading, exploring new places, and long walks in the countryside.
Acknowledgements:
I found the following resources very useful while researching the life of Mary, Queen of Scots:
Mary, Queen of Scots by Antonia Fraser
Crown of Thistles by Linda Porter
My Heart Is My Own by John Guy
Bess of Hardwick by Mary S Lovell
The Execution of Mary, Queen of Scots : An eyewitness account by Sir Robert Wingfield of Upton
Historic Scotland Guidebook for Linlithgow Palace
The Marie Stuart Society has much information about Mary's life available on their website, which I found really beneficial. For information on Mary Seton herself, I found an article on historyextra.com "Mary, Queen of Scots: what happened to her ladies-in-waiting?" which gave me some idea of what Mary Seton did after she left her Queen's service.
I would like also to thank my wonderful, supportive friends in Belfast Writers Group who have helped me so much.
