Her debut medieval historical, \u003cem\u003eThe Lion and the Leopard\u003c\/em\u003e, was followed by \u003cem\u003eThe Landlord's Black-Eyed Daughter\u003c\/em\u003e, a historical novel inspired by Alfred Noyes' poem \u003cem\u003eThe Highwayman\u003c\/em\u003e (published under the pseudonym Mary Ellen Dennis). \u003cem\u003eLandlord\u003c\/em\u003e was later named one of the top 100 historical romances of 2013. After a twenty-year detour in a quixotic quest to change the world-much like the knights of Arthurian legend pursuing the elusive Holy Grail-Mary Ellen happily returned to her first love: historical fiction. She especially delights in exploring the tumultuous fourteenth century. Her six-book series, \u003cem\u003eKnights of England\u003c\/em\u003e, traces the fortunes of the characters introduced in \u003cem\u003eThe Lion and the Leopard\u003c\/em\u003e and their descendants, weaving through the Black Death, the reign of Edward III, the Peasants' Revolt of 1381, and concluding with the deposition and death of Richard II in 1399.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMary Ellen is passionate about bringing Medieval England vividly to life for readers. She relishes researching battles, campaigns, daily life across social classes, and the worldview of her subjects-along with, of course, castles and cathedrals. One of her favorite places to visit is Canterbury Cathedral, where she stands in awe before the tomb of the Black Prince. Recently, a distant cousin shared years of genealogical research that revealed connections to familiar names from Mary Ellen's studies: John of Gaunt, Edward the Black Prince, Edward II, Edward III, even Richard the Lionheart. Discovering that her own family tree intersects with the very figures she has spent a lifetime researching has been both thrilling and mysterious. Genetic memory? Reincarnation? She doesn't know-but she fully intends to explore such possibilities in future novels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer passion for Medieval England sparked Mary Ellen Johnson's writing career. Her first medieval historical, The Lion and the Leopard, was followed by The Landlord's Black-Eyed Daughter, a historical novel based on the Alfred Noyes poem, \"The Highwayman.\" (Published under the pseudonym, Mary Ellen Dennis.) Landlord was chosen as one of the top 100 historical romances of 2013.After taking a twenty-year detour in a quixotic quest to change the world--rather like Arthurian knights' quests to find the holy grail, which ended in similar failure--Mary Ellen has happily returned to historical fiction writing and her favorite time period, the tumultuous fourteenth century. Her six-book series, Knights of England, follows the fortunes of the characters (and their progeny) introduced in The Lion and the Leopard through the Black Death, the reign of that most gloriously medieval of monarchs, Edward III, the 1381 Peasants' Revolt, and ends with the deposition and murder of Richard II in 1399.There is nothing Mary Ellen loves more than bringing Medieval England alive for the reader. She particularly enjoys researching battles, campaigns, the daily lives of both lord and peasant, and trying to figure out our ancestors' thought processes, particularly how they viewed their world. Oh, and did she mention the castles and cathedrals? Mary Ellen likes to say her favorite place in the world is standing before the tomb of the Black Prince in Canterbury Cathedral. (Hyperbole, of course, since Mary Ellen is not that well-traveled and her favorite places are probably wherever her kids and grandkids reside.)However--and the very recounting gives her chills--a distant cousin recently shared the results of her years-long genealogical research on the family tree. When flipping back through the centuries, Mary Ellen began finding hauntingly familiar names--John of Gaunt, Edward the Black Prince, Edward II, Edward III, even Richard the Lionheart! All the historical characters she's spent a lifetime reading and writing about! How can that be? Genetic memory? Reincarnation? She has no idea, but you can bet she'll be exploring the possibilities in future novels!\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 314\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 20, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47429031624953,"sku":"9781644573297","price":27.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Px6YoP4oAF9781644573297_48ba6bd0-205e-47f8-b7fb-9f92152d025c.webp?v=1771442083","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/before-i-wake-paperback-3","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
