One of the regular visitors to The Anne Boleyn Files contacted me just before Christmas (2011) to share an idea she had about site and my writing. “Why don’t you collate some of the most popular Anne Boleyn Files articles and publish them?”, Linda said, “That way we’d have easy access to them and we’d be able to share them with friends and family. It would be a wonderful way to celebrate the three year anniversary of the site.”

Now, I was already working on a book on the Boleyn family but Linda got me thinking. I had three years’ worth of articles on the site, over 800 posts – yes, I’ve been a busy girl! – and the site was very popular and interactive, with people commenting on posts and discussing things. It would be easy to find out which were the most popular and then collate them in a book format, or so I thought!

Lightbulb moment. What a great way to celebrate our three year anniversary, use my hard work and share my research. The Anne Boleyn Collection was born, in my head anyway.
