<b>"<i>Her Majesty's Will </i>is a heady, silly romp that works!"</b> - <i>Chicago Tribune</i> <p><b>"I loved <i>Her Majesty's Will</i>, 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!"</b> - Sharon Kay Penman, <i>The Sunne In Splendour </i>and<i> Lionheart</i> </p><p><b>"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."</b> - C.W. Gortner, <i>The Tudor Conspiracy</i> and <i>The Queen's Vow</i> </p><p><b>"<i>Her Majesty's Will </i>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." </b>- Austin Tichenor, <i>Pop-Up Shakespeare </i>and <i>William Shakespeare's Long Lost First Play (abridged)</i> </p><p>Before he was famous, he was a fugitive.<br>Before he wrote wild adventures, he lived them.<br>Before he was The Bard, he was a spy.<br>A truly terrible spy. </p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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 <i>The Princess Bride</i> 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.</p><p>Praise from readers: </p><p><i><b>&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; - "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. His Majesty's Will is a book worth savoring more than once."</b></i></p><p><i><b>&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; - "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."</b></i></p><p><i><b>&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; - "David Blixt is</b></i></p>
