Writing about Cecily Neville, Duchess of York, King’s Mother

Posted on 29th July 2020

Welcome to my new blog. Some of my thoughts on my writing about Cecily Neville in The Queen’s Rival, and my answers to some questions that I am sure…

"One of the best writers around."

The Sun
"Anne O'Brien's novels give a voice to the 'silent' women of history."

Yorkshire Post
"...packed with powerful emotions and tumultuous unfolding of an affair that changed the course of royal history, this is a novel in which to enjoy the past in all it rich colour and dramatic detail..."
