What connects legendary singer Kate Bush and Tudor queen Anne Boleyn? In this fascinating and inspiring interview, I chat with novelist Natalia Richards, author of The Falcon’s Rise and The Falcon’s Flight—two beautifully written novels exploring Anne Boleyn’s early life and rise to power. Natalia shares how she transitioned from the world of music (yes, Kate Bush really did ask her to be a backing singer at 18!) to historical fiction, and why Anne Boleyn has captivated her imagination for so many years. We discuss: - The real Anne Boleyn behind the myths and portrayals - Natalia’s research process and writing rituals - Her emotional connection to key scenes and characters - The places that inspire her work - And more! Whether you’re a fellow Anne Boleyn enthusiast, a writer, or just love hearing about the creative process, you’ll love this rich, warm, and insightful conversation.
