IndieView with Jo-Anne Duffett, author of Prescription for a Frozen Heart

IndieView with Francesco Paola, author of Left on Rancho

IndieView with Barbara Southard, author of Unruly Human Hearts

Elizabeth has often been depicted as a weak character, a woman who changed her story, but my own vision of Elizabeth is of a strong woman who had to overcome what must have seemed like insuperable challenges in an epoch in which women were expected to conform to a very strict code of conduct.
