Raven A. Nuckols

Raven A. Nuckols currently resides in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. An avid Tudor fan, she has traveled to various historical sites throughout the United Kingdom including the U.K. National Archives at Kew, Hever Castle in Kent, and Hampton Court in Surrey to conduct meticulous background research for her characters. After thoroughly researching Anne Boleyn’s story, she began to question how English history may have been altered had such a politically ambitious wife stayed at Henry VIII's side throughout his tumultuous reign. This book--the sequel to “Had the Queen Lived: An Alternative History of Anne Boleyn”--proposes a fictional history for the reign of a son Anne miscarried in 1536. Historical fiction writing remains Ms. Nuckols' main passion and she is dedicated to ensuring that actual historical events described in her stories are captured with accuracy and balance, while providing an alternate perspective. She holds a B.S. in Economics from Strayer University and actively engages in philanthropy and humanitarian causes.
