Unless you know my sisters, you don’t know me. This was the comment, uttered casually by a friend several years ago when I was still writing my debut novel Cleopatra and Frankenstein—desperately dreaming of finishing one (just one!) novel—that eventually planted the seed for Blue Sisters. Was this true of me and my siblings, I wondered? Could you know me if you didn’t know them? And, if it was true, who would I be if I lost one of them?

One of the reasons I have come back so many times in my career to writing about Britain’s medieval monarchs is that their reigns are simply so dramatic.

But not all heroes are your archetypal paragons of all-round handsome excellence. Heroes are a staple of children’s fiction. In fact, you’d be hard pushed to think of many children’s novels that don’t have some manner of heroes. Why is that?
