Hello, thank you for visiting my author page and thank you even more if you’ve bought, read or listened to one of my books. I really hope you enjoyed it.

My books are dual timeline stories featuring the lost voices of women, both real and imaginary. The Marquess House Saga reimagines the stories of the women from Henry VIII’s court through to the Civil War, telling a tale of secrets, mysteries and intrigues which ripple through into the lives of the present day characters. While, The Wind Chime, The Music Makers and The Forgotten Palace focus on the lives of Victorian women and how their stories connect to the 21st century characters.

    Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2019

    Alexandra Walsh's second novel in her Marquess House Conspiracy series is as great a read as the 1st. The first portion was a bit convoluted with all of the names and history on how each family is related; however, as you moved through the book this became less confusing. It is really interesting to think that there may be an alternative view on historical events than what we are taught. The story was well researched and pertinent information included to significant events in history to make this fictionalized version interesting. There were some glaring grammatical mistakes that were a bit annoying; but overall this didn't change my enjoyment of the book. Looking forward to book 3 in the series.

    An interesting tale just waiting for any Angophile, history buff, and royal watching enthusiast. This historical fiction is brave enough to not just consider alternate history but to be a beacon of new light shed on old possibilities knowing the lengths men have gone to at any age in history to stop at nothing to achieve their ends. This is lovingly researched and thought out by certainly a new star in the period fiction literary community. I will go back and read her first book now that I have enjoyed the second so much, and am looking forward to the last in the trilogy to see how the twins fare in history, love, and their new lives. I was sold enough that I will have to go back to see what actual history was thrust upon the world about the truth of that age. Gets 5 stars from me for courage, craftsmanship, and creativity.

    I love reading alternative points of view of history. This series has been a great read. History is not static. It is fluid based on new evidence that is uncovered. I completely enjoyed the series. Alexander's alternate view of the Tudor monarchy is fascinating. I love that the spymaster and advisors to the queen totally discount evidence that the women uncover. Women are a force of nature that men try to discredit. I recommend this series!

    The book is exciting and fast paced. I love the whole concept with hidden history in "official" history books. There is always a story within a story, within a story. Ms. Walsh does a fantastic job in her fictional work. And it does make one think what is the real reason for missing holes in history.

    As I read these books I find the possibilities fascinating. How has history been changed or manipulated because of who was writing it?

    It truly makes you wonder.

    I do believe that because history has primarily been written by men, it is a perspective of possible truth.

    Alexandra Walsh takes us on quite an exploration of the possibilities.

    Although the book was a good read, I found the plot not feasible. There are too many documented events that do not match this one. The Elizabethan period is full of faults, but this one is too fantastic for even Elizabeth to be a part of. Her death is well documented and Lettice was a lot younger than her.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Second Chapter in this Tudor conspiracy theory continues to grip interest...
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 1, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    The second book in this intriguing trilogy picks up where The Catherine Howard Conspiracy left us. Once again I was drawn into the intrigues, secrets and machinations of a Tudor court through the eyes of the often forgotten or ignored women of the court. The story unravels more secrets of Marquess House and its past and present occupants giving a refreshingly different account of Tudor history.

    I have read dozens of books both fact and fiction on the Tudors and their courts but this different take on accepted v real history in a well written and thought out story has kept me enthralled. I admire the imagination and research of the author which has added to the credibility of the ‘what if’ conjecture and made this book so completely believable. Without doubt, I will be heading to the third part of the trilogy to see how the story ends!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 22, 2020

    Review of the Elizabeth Tudor Conspiracies by Alexander Walsh.
    Being a fan of Tudor history, and dual time novels, I found this novel dangerous for the characters with avaricious schemers after money or power plotting against their ruler, or enemies.
    This novel opens with the theft of a casket of documents from the home of a dying woman
    Perdita Rivers falls into a snowdrift and is rescued by her father Kit Mackenzie who also retrieves her mobile phone and notices it has been bugged. He immediately suspects Kristin Chaplin, the woman who trashed Piper’s marriage to Warren Dexter.
    Twins Perdita and piper were now multi-millionaires, and were already protected by the Milford Haven Treaty. Kit realises his daughters have become targets for the greedy Kristen, and for safety’s sake takes Perdita to Castle Jerusalem, the Headquarters of their historical research business.
    They are greeted by Isabelle Barnes, a librarian and archivist who worked from her stately home near Pembroke Castle, who is helping her friend Maggie with her wedding arrangements. and also researching Catherine Howard’s rise at the Tudor court. She discovers an anomaly when news arrives that the twins mother, Louis,,had been killed in a car accident. When their grieving is over they resume researching documents belonging to a network of noblewomen ‘The Ladies of Melusine’, who used code names to protect their identities from when Catherine became Henry V111’s Queen until the time of James 1’st.
    A comment written by Lettice Knollys’s in a Book of Hours confirms certain facts about Elisabeth the First and Mary Queen of Scots, which vary from the accepted version of Tudor history we learned in school. They state that Catherine had two children who went missing. These rumours reach King Phillip of Spain’s ears, he orchestrates a pre-Armada plan to infiltrate castles along the Pembrokeshire coastline. Phillip also funded the plot by Roman Catholic, Anthony Babington, who wanted to usurp Queen Elizabeth from the throne with Arbella Stuart. Shortly after Elizabeth signs Mary Queen of Scots death warrant, Phillip mobilises his Armada.
    The twins are intent on purchasing a ring used to carry secret messages. Perdita visits the purchaser at Polzeath when her father calls to say a SWAT team are after her and intend to shoot on sight. She is successfully rescued and restored to Marquess House.
    This is a well written convoluted historical novel, with surprising claims about Queen Elizabeth and Mary Queen of Scots, and Catherine Howard’s progeny,who are alleged to be familiarly linked to Perdita and Piper.
    At times I found the numerous names and familial links confusing and found a whole paragraph of names listed on Page 178, whish for a historian would prove interesting but did not add to the plot. . What might have been less distracting and helpful would have been finding their family tree’s in the frontispiece of the novel. .Having said that, I would certainly read more books by this author.
