The Lost King film!
I have had about a year and a half of getting excited about the possibility of a film about Richard III and now the release date of October 7th has been announced! The Lost King will be premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in September, and how I would dearly love to be there with a boatload of my books to peddle outside the theater! The film is billed as a "comedy-drama" about one woman's quest to unearth the burial site of Richard after his mutilated body was ignominiously tied over the back of a horse and ordered buried "somewhere" in the Greyfriars monastery grounds in Leicester following the Battle of Bosworth. As soon as I heard that Sally Hawkins was cast to play the bones' discoverer, Philippa Langley, I took the liberty of sending my new book, This Son of York, to her publicist in the hopes it would reach her as she did her research for the movie. Sadly, I never heard if she received it. But I tried! Here's all you need to know! https://www.
