Philippa Gregory:
Firstly, before my question, I want to thank you for making me love history.Right now I am reading The Virgin's Lover and I can compare this book (and The Boleyn Inheritance[I adore this book]) to a chest full of gold. My question is : Are you interested or are you going to write a book about Mary Tudor (Henry The 8 Sister) or Margaret Tudor ? Thank you and good luck in everything you do !
Philippa Gregory
Thank you for the question. People often ask me whether I plan to write about an interesting historical figure (there are just so many) but here I'm in the rare, delightful position of being able to say yes. My next book (after The Taming of the Queen), which I'm researching for now, will be on Margaret and Mary Tudor. They've been on the periphery of my work for so long, I'm very excited to finally bring them to the forefront, especially after writing about them in The King's Curse.

Philippa Gregory:
Hi Phillipa, First of all thank you for bringing history to life for so many of us. I love that in your books you tend to concentrate on the female perspective and the female plight but in all of your research, which male character or king do you enjoy or respect the most? Michelle
