I'm looking forward to reading it! Judging by what you've done on this blog, this must surely be one of *the* definitive books about Edward.
Thank you, Undine!
I agree with Undine, Kathryn! To have all the facts you introduced to us here, on your blog, collected in a single book, that is really wonderful news. Congratulations!
Thank you, Kasia! :)
Mazel tov on the book! I look forward to reading it.

Thanks, Esther!
Congratulations, I look forward to reading this. I'll buy it anyway, but is there any chance of an ebook, as our house is pretty much full of books, so we try not to add more physical ones if there's an alternative?
Thank you, Chris! Yes, it'll be coming out as an e-book as well ;)
At long last! Can't wait:)
:-)
Congratulations! Can't wait to read it!
Thank you, Denise!
Great cover and this sounds really interesting as probably one of the few modern biographies centering on/involving Edward II as a main character that is historically accurate and gives him a more sympathetic portrayal than he often receives in popular culture and media nowadays but still remains fair, objective, and unbiased on the whole -- definitely look forward to reading this whenever I can get a copy! :D
Thank you! :) You might also be interested in the most recent biography of Edward, from 2010, by Professor Seymour Phillips. Entirely different in style from mine ;) I do really hope that I've been objective in the book - I did try to be sympathetic to all concerned and not make moral judgements, or leap in and try to excuse and justify Edward's many failings ;)
Congratulations! I am looking forward to getting a cooy!
Thank you, Mimi, that's great!
Congratulations! I'm very very glad!)
Thank you! :)
Oh sure, and you're welcome! :) I've heard of it and since you recommend it, it is probably quite good too and I'll be sure to check it out in the future.
Based on what I've seen you doing on your blog, I'm pretty sure you've already done your best to be sympathetic but also objective to most of the figures involved in your research and who lived in Edward II's era, so I'd think you'd have little to be worry about there since the only issue you have to deal with is transferring your objectivity from blog posts to published book. :D
Wonderful, wonderful and yet more wonderful. To have it all in one book will be bliss. I can't wait for Christmas but will have to buy it as soon as it's out. The bookcase may be full (it collapsed on top of my husband two years ago from the weight of books!) but I think I'll build another one just for this. Many congratulations.
Thanks, Passion for History (which is such a great name, btw!)! Seymour Phillips has been studying Edward's reign since the 1960s, and he's very strong on the politics of the era.
Ah, thanks so much, Caroline! I'm so grateful for all your support, and really hope you enjoy the book as much as the blog ;)
Congrats!
I can't wait to read it.
Thank you!
Being to Amazon with the pre-order, really looking forward to this.
Thanks
Got my pre-order to Amazon, am really looking forward to your book.
Thanks
Many thanks, John!
You want my TBR pile to topple over, right? :-)
Congrats on the book. I'm too over the place with my interests and research to concentrate on one person or period, though some would make for interesting book objects.
Thanks, Gabriele! My tbr pile is the same, hehe ;)
Congratulations, Kathryn!
Thanks, Carla!
