We invite you to sit down with us for an intriguing conversation with Gregory about her newest novel Boleyn Traitor (forthcoming October 14\, 2025).  \nJane Boleyn watches from the shadows of the Tudor Court\, where secrets are currency\, every choice is dangerous\, and even the faintest whisper can seal the fate of queens. \nFor Jane\, survival demands playing every role required of her: a loving wife who conceals her doubts\, a devoted sister to Anne Boleyn at the height of her power\, and an obedient spy who carefully wields her words. But in a court ruled by ambition and a tyrant’s sword\, Jane must rely on her sharp wit and skillful maneuvering to outthink those around her\, knowing that one wrong move could cost her everything.  \nWith a rich tapestry of new historical insights and lyrical language honed over decades of writing\, Gregory's return to the Tudors is a new definition of this most fascinating era. As the world becomes more extreme and unpredictable\, Jane’s story of survival and ingenuity offers a compelling parallel\, serving as both a powerful historical narrative and an echo of the challenges we face. This is a riveting tale of loyalty and betrayal\, ambition and love—one that should not be missed by readers this fall. \nRegister today for this exciting glimpse into the perilous 16th century royal court! \nNot able to attend live?
