Elizabeth Webb is sent to court as replacement for her mother who was beheaded by the order of King Henry VIII, the famous Tudor monarch. Elizabeth tries her hardest to satify her sovereign lord, since the death warrant is hanging low on her head, but even the slightest mistake can cost her everything.
Meeting the demands of the court is always a challenge, but one day the King gives her an order, which might just be too much for poor Elizabeth Webb.

This is my novella for the Open Novella Contest III. 
I've chosen prompt 31 and 45, and will be written in the genre historical fiction.

2nd place in The Spring Awards 2020

It's me, Anne Boleyn by BarbieRivers
12 parts Complete Mature
Anne Boleyn in a alternate universe (where she isn't beheaded) *one and only warning* Some historical things WILL be changed on purpose for the sake of the story, (they will be speaking modern English, not old medieval English). If you are looking to read a historical biography, I do NOT recommend reading this. This is a "what-if alternate universe" like 'My Lady Jane' series. If you are an avid historical nut about Tudors solely looking for complete historical accuracy, kindly move on please, this is not for you. I love the Tudors and their predecessors, The Plantagenets, and have been studying their history out of pure special interest for over a decade but this is TOTAL fanfiction.

The Arranged Marriage (The Tudor's Series) by Dat_AthRojas
41 parts Complete Mature
***MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY*** Following the divorce of his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII of England continues on his search for a new Queen. Enduring the hatred of his people that once screamed his name out of love and the orders from his Privy Council, Henry's freedom to choose his future Queen is jeopardized when his Chief Minister, Thomas Cromwell, 1st Earl of Essex, introduces the famous, Lady Anne Boleyn. Desperate for another heir, Henry is clearly blinded by love at the sight of Lady Boleyn. But will Henry's wish for a male heir be granted or will something else catch the King's eye? Read along as you watch the fate of Henry VIII's legacy change forever. Based on the Showtime Series 'The Tudors'. This book will take a slight curvature involving the original series, since my other book 'Long May She Reign' and the rest of the following, tie into the Tudor family. There will be an overlap in a few of the chapters but will mainly focus on the Tudors. Keep in mind this is a FANFIC, this story won't follow Henry's life every step of the way. His last wife won't be mentioned, and the 4th and 5th will be written around the new characters.
