About this listen

Episode 5 takes us into the Historical Fiction genre with a saga about Tudor England in the 1500's - specifically into the life of Blessed Thomas Abel, the personal priest to Katherine of Aragon who was the first wife of Henry VIII. Theresa Abell Haynes' new book, The Queen's Priest, is also a personal tale for the author because Thomas Abell is one of her ancestors. Our conversation ranges from the layers of research she got to do - including going to the Tower of London to see where Thomas Abell spent the last 7 years of his life - to the layers of editing she went through as she self-published this her debut novel. We also dip into the process of how to get a book done as an audiobook through the ACX platform. To keep up with all the developments in Theresa's writing, you can visit her website at www.TheresaAHaynes.com or follow her Substack newsletter.
