Sharon Kay Penman has 9 past events. (show) Sharon Kay Penman Sharon Kay Penman reads from Signs Lionheart (Putnam $29). They were called "The Devil's Brood," though never to their faces. They were the four surviving sons of Henry Plantagenet and Eleanor of Aquitaine. With two such extraordinary parents, much was expected of them. But the eldest-charming yet mercurial-would turn on his father and, like his brother Geoffrey, meet an early death. When Henry died, Richard would take the throne and, almost immediately, set off for the Holy Land. This was the Third Crusade, and it would be characterized by internecine warfare among the Christians and extraordinary campaigns against the Saracens. And, back in England, by the conniving of Richard's youngest brother, John, to steal his crown. In Lionheart, Sharon Kay Penman displays her remarkable mastery of historical detail and her acute understanding of human foibles. The result is a powerful story of intrigue, war, and- surprisingly-effective diplomacy, played out against the roiling conflicts of love and loyalty, passion and treachery, all set against the rich textures of the Holy Land. Diana Gabaldon, a longtime admirer of Penman's work, will interview the author and highlight her own forthcoming novel The Scottish Prisoner to debut here at The Pen on November 29.

Now, in LIONHEART Penman has captured the remarkable story of the great medieval warrior-king Richard the Lionheart, son of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine, in a retelling that challenges the prevailing myths about this historical figure. Don’t miss this fascinating window into the past! (tapestry100)… (more) Sharon Kay Penman - Devil's Brood Sharon Kay PenmanWe've managed to reschedule last years high-anticpated event. Devil's Brood, the final volume in Penman's trilogy of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine offers a tumultuous conclusion to the timeless story of love, power, ambition, and betrayal. Available in paperback July 28th. (booksense) Sharon Kay Penman Sharon Kay Penman discusses Devil's Brood. From master storyteller Sharon Kay Penman, DEVIL'S BROOD is a riveting tale of the implosion of the royal family. A story of betrayal and sacrifice at the highest levels, it is also a portrait of a king whose brilliance forged an empire but whose personal blind spots led him into the most serious mistake of his life. Penman is the author of six historical novels set in medieval England, France, and Wales, most recently the New York Times-bestselling Time and Chance. (karenharris)… (more) AUTHOR SIGNING : Penman, Sharon Kay (with Diana Gabaldon and Dana Stabenow) Penman, Sharon Kay (with Diana Gabaldon and Dana Stabenow) on tour for Devil's Brood. Devil's Brood, the final volume in her trilogy of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine, centers on the implosion of a family. And because it is a royal family whose domains span the English Channel and whose alliances encompass the Christian world, that collapse will have dire consequences. This is a story of betrayal as Henry III’s three eldest sons and his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine enter into a rebellion against him, aligning themselves with his bitterest enemy, King Louis of France. But it is also the story of a great king whose brilliance forged an empire but whose personal blind spots led him into the most serious mistake of his life.
Penman is joined by her fans Gabaldon, Stabenow, and Barbara Peters, who as a quartet form a cheerleading team for the work of PF Chisholm who writes the Robert Carey Elizabethan series (we hope with a work in progress). (baffleonious)… (more) Sharon Kay Penman - Devil's Brood
