Gillian Bagwell united her life-long love of books, British
history, and theater to write her first novel, The Darling
Strumpet, based on the life of Nell Gwynn. She has lived in London,
now lives in Northern California, and enjoys returning to England
to conduct research for her books.
Praise for Venus in Winter:
"A vast panorama of Tudor history, from the viewpoint of a
legendary woman who loomed large in it—the redoubtable, fabulously
wealthy, much-married Bess of Hardwick."—Margaret George, author of
Elizabeth I: The Novel
“Venus in Winter does justice to the extraordinary, powerful, and
dangerous Bess of Hardwick. Gillian Bagwell has brought to
vivid life one of the great women of Tudor England.”—Bernard
Cornwell, author of 1356
"A wonderful portrait of one of Elizabethan England’s most
fascinating—and most long-lived—women. A great read, rich
with detail and story!"—Diana Gabaldon, author of the bestselling
Outlander series
“The crushing anxiety of family financial burdens, the marital
expectations placed on high-born young women, and the uncertainties
of life under Henry VIII and his children are all explored in this
richly imagined and beautifully written novel. I think it’s
Bagwell’s best!”—Patricia Bracewell, author of Shadow on the
Crown
“Bagwell proves that a Tudor heroine doesn't have to be a royal to
fascinate us. An eyewitness account of the turbulent reigns of five
English monarchs, Venus in Winter is a refreshing, engaging, and
impeccably researched novel.”—Leslie Carroll, author of Royal
Romances
