About this author

While studying Elizabethan and Jacobean playwrights at university, Victoria Lamb conceived a desire to write a series of novels about Shakespeare's 'Dark Lady'. Now a busy mother of five, she has finally achieved that ambition after much research, and The Queen's Secret is the result.

Daughter of the prolific novelist Charlotte Lamb, Victoria lives in Warwickshire – also known as Shakespeare Country – only twenty minutes from Kenilworth Castle where The Queen's Secret is set. She is presently working on her new novel featuring Shakespeare's 'Dark Lady', Lucy Morgan.

A Tudor paranormal series for young adult readers also launches in July 2012 with Witchstruck (Random House Children’s Books).

'Have you ever been offered any?' he had asked, and he had been making fun of her, his face mocking.

'Not that I can remember,' Nicola had admitted calmly.

'And how would an offer be received?' he had asked, as though he knew the answer.

'With a kick in the teeth,' Nicola had said, meeting his eye.”
