🗃️ Did John Dee help bring about the Restoration?

Many thanks to Andrea Zurvich for hosting this piece I wrote exploring how John Dee's #Tudor era spiritual diary was turned into an attack on religion under the Cromwellian regime in the #17thCentury!

🗃️ Happy 424th birthday to King Charles I!

Apparently, those born on 19 Nov make good leaders! Outwardly aloof, but can have great charm. Self-controlled, taciturn, like to keep their own council and have a happy knack for making others feel good about themselves!

There is some more of Ian's incredible artwork in the gallery on my website if you would like to see it.

Here are some detailed 'portraits' taken from the painting:

This is a #digitalart piece that @iancbristow.bsky.social painted, related to my #17thCentury #HistoricalFiction #Books set in the first #EnglishCivilWar - Lord's Legacy.
This is a painting called 'She Walks In'. Just the still life element on the table is on its own, IMO, truly stunning.

I have a story out in a new anthology of #HistoricalFiction.
It tells how Jane Fromond, wife of John Dee became a victim of the angels.

Find out more about her on my blog:

You can snag the anthology for only 99p/c

I have a story in this rather excellent anthology called 'Blood on White Mountain'.
If you are interested in why I was inspired by the picture, who the story is about, and want to read the opening of it, I did a blog piece about it:
