Biography/History:
H. M. Castor has been obsessed with the Tudors since primary school. She studied Tudor History at Cambridge University, and despite spending time after that doing a variety of jobs – including teaching English in Prague and working as a Benesh Notator with a dance company – the Tudors have never lost their hold on her. In particular she has always been fascinated by the story of Henry VIII. "I've read a great deal about his life," she says, "but still a huge question has remained: just how does this extraordinary boy become one of the most villainous kings in British history? He is vastly talented, has astonishing warrior skills, and is said to be a model of virtue. So what turns him into a monster? In writing VIII I've set out to answer that question." H.M. Castor lives in Bristol with her husband and two daughters.
