In 1511, a son was born to Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon on New Year’s Day. I wrote this piece for @unherd imagining what might have been had he lived to adulthood. https://t.co/8F07onGu3y
Turns out my story Second Hand Eyes is not quite so futuristic as I thought. @doctorow wrote a recent article pointing to an article from _before_ my story came out showing the thing I was warning about had already happened! https://t.co/vnaitGCsfD
Have a story coming out in the @MorianPress antho Apologue of the Immortals. Doesn't come out til next year, but they created this cool graphic, so figured I should Tweet it! Had a discussion as to whether should use UK or US spelling of Judgement (we both preferred UK :-).
So, apparently in the middle of the night, I sat up, said “This feels unpleasantly familiar. Being at the top, but not being at the top.” Then I lay back down, still asleep.
My sleep self is obviously far more profound than I am.
“There’s, uh, there’s a bit of mustard on your chin.” He reaches forward with his finger and wipes it away. It is the bravest thing he has ever done.

@Lucy_Worsley@PBS It was absolutely heartbreaking. The need for men to control women and what they were willing to do to put women in their place. So much fear and anger veneered with "religious" piety.
