Steven Veerapen was born in Glasgow to a Scottish mother and a Mauritian father and raised in Paisley. Pursuing an interest in the sixteenth century, he was awarded a first-class Honours degree in English, focussing his dissertation on representations of Henry VIII's six wives.
'A convincing portrait of the deadly realities of life in Henry VIII's court' -- David Robinson * The Scotsman * 'Skilfully drawn and powerfully evocative, the second novel in the Anthony Blanke series leaves little to the imagination... Steven Veerapen draws upon his extensive knowledge of the period to create a narrative that always rings true' * LoveReading * 'A cracking good read because it gives you an insight into life in those times' -- Breege Smyth * Oban Times * 'Steven Veerapen does an excellent job of bringing the Tudor era to life... Highly recommended' -- Tony Riches
