Her Majesty's Will E-BOOK

"Her Majesty's Will is a heady, silly romp that works!" — Chicago Tribune

"Her Majesty's Will has everything—swashbuckling sword fights, witty banter, a nefarious (and true!) plot, a dash of romance, narrow escapes, sudden reversals, and an incredibly plausible origin story for one of the greatest writers in history. It's huge fun—a summer blockbuster action-adventure combined with dazzling outdoor Shakespeare, all in handy-dandy book form." — Austin Tichenor, Pop-Up Shakespeare and William Shakespeare's Long Lost First Play (abridged)

England, 1586. Swept up in the skirts of a mysterious stranger, Will Shakespeare becomes entangled in a deadly and hilarious misadventure as he accidentally uncovers the Babington Plot: an attempt to murder Queen Elizabeth herself.

Aided by the mercurial wit of Kit Marlowe, Will enters London for the first time, chased by rebels, spies, his own government, his past, and a bear. Through it all he demonstrates his loyalty and genius, proving himself to be - Her Majesty's Will.

This irreverent comedy imagines Shakespeare's "lost years" as a rousing romp through the streets and across the stages of Elizabethan London. Combining the whimsy of William Goldman's The Princess Bride with the swashbuckling panache of Rafael Sabatini, and inspired by the Hope/Crosby Road Movies, this rollicking novel takes solace in knowing that these events surely never happened, while secretly hoping that they did.

"I loved Her Majesty's Will, a delightful romp through Elizabethan England. The fun is non-stop, an irresistible mix of suspense, surprises, and humor. I just hope we get to see this zany team again!" — Sharon Kay Penman, The Sunne In Splendour and Lionheart

"I LOVE this book. I'm laughing and on the edge of my seat and turning e-pages so fast, I'm gonna fry my iPad." — C.W. Gortner, The Tudor Conspiracy and The Queen's Vow

Praise from readers:

★★★★★ - "Anyone who enjoys the down-to-earth aspects of Shakespeare will love this book, the puns, bon mots, double entendres, and witticisms fly fast and furious throughout. Her Majesty's Will is a book worth savoring more than once."

★★★★★ - "Her Majesty's Will is an Elizabethan buddy comedy/drama/romance/adventure. Like ya do. It's Hope and Crosby meets Errol Flynn and Douglas Fairbanks. It belongs on the shelf alongside The Princess Bride."

★★★★★ - "David Blixt is on the top of his game with this romp. A rollicking good read."
