Autorenporträt
Helen Lewis began writing novels after retirement from teaching. She has previously published two novels of a trilogy set in Victorian England, but her focus has always been the fifteenth century. The first book in the Rogue Malory trilogy came out last year. She has a PhD from Birmingham University; her thesis was on Warwick the Kingmaker in Shakespeare's Henry VI. Later, she wrote a quartet of novels on Warwick's life - Lodestar - and it was during research for them she came across Sir Thomas Malory.
