Author's Notes

My inspiration for this novel came from teaching Year 8 students the Babington Plot. The children loved the topic so much we wrote and performed a play. From there on, the idea for the novel was firmly fixed in my mind, and the more I researched the topic, the more fascinated I became. The double-agents, the murky world of espionage, and Secretary Walsingham's intricate plan to entrap the Queen of Scots is bound to appeal to lovers of historical fiction.

Having taught history all his working life, it was hardly surprising that Melvin P. Tiley's first novel should be set during the turbulent times of the Elizabethan era. Now happily retired, Melvin plays golf (badly) and follows football (that's soccer in USA parlance). But his real passion is writing and a second novel is well on the way.
