Sarah J Hodder began her career as production manager for Shire Publications, a unique niche publisher that introduced her to an eclectic mix of subjects and encouraged her already well-founded love of books. After leaving Shire to focus on motherhood, she developed a passion for history, particularly medieval and Tudor, and reads everything and anything she can get her hands on. Her focus is very much on social history, specialising in the lives of women during this period. She is the author of The Woodville Women: 100 Years of Plantagenet and Tudor History (Pen & Sword, 2022), Cecily Bonville-Grey (Chronos Books, 2022), The York Princesses (Chronos Books, 2021) and The Queen’s Sisters (Chronos Books, 2020).
