About meGillian Bagwell grew up in Berkeley, California, and began her professional life as an actress. She moved into directing and producing theatre, founding The Pasadena Shakespeare Company, where she served as artistic director for nine years, producing 37 critically acclaimed productions.

She united her life-long love of books, British history, and theatre in writing her first novel, "The Darling Strumpet," based on the life of Nell Gwynn. Her second novel, "The September Queen" (U.K. title "The King's Mistress") is the first fictional account of the perilous and romantic odyssey of Jane Lane, an ordinary English girl who risked her life to help the young Charles II escape after the disastrous Battle of Worcester in 1651 by disguising him as her servant. Gillian's third novel, "Venus in Winter," based on the first 40 years of the life of the formidable four-times widowed Tudor dynast Bess of Hardwick, will be published in July 2013.

Visit Gillian’s website, www.gillianbagwell.com, for further information about her books and upcoming events, and links to her blogs, articles, and videos of sites in Nell Gwynn’s London.

About my libraryI have only posted a small number of the books that are in my library, but will endeavor to post more! Much of my library is related to my life-long interest in England and history. Many of the books I've posted are related to research for my books.
