Dear Reader Regiment,

Thank so much for signing up for our Reader Regiment news letter via BookSweeps last week.

We bring you the latest news for richardlynttonbooks.com both fiction and nonfiction. You will be the first to hear any news (yes, before social media posts too), and we will sometimes ask for your opinion on covers or book titles etc.

I have been writing for 15 years and published my first two books in the last two years. You are welcome to reach out to me personally at richard@richardlynttonbooks.com if you have any questions.

In other NON-FICTION news:

Here is a royal tour group photo used for the 'From Cottage to Palace' book cover, taken on HMS Vanguard in 1947 - It is an original photo signed by all members of the (then) Royal family. As I watched the Queen aged 96 standing on her Buckingham Palace balcony yesterday, it's extraordinary to think she signed this photo five years before her coronation when she was 21 years old! My great aunt Flo is circled. My aunt, Margaret Bramford, wrote about the life and adventures of Florence Bramford in book 1 of her Worcestershire & Malvern History Series.

In honor and celebration of The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee (70 years on the throne), escape to a bygone era with this cheeky and endearing royal memoir. Florence Bramford (circled) was a Ladies' Maid to the Ladies in Waiting of two Queen Elizabeths from 1939 to 1974. Think real-life The Queen (Netflix), Downton Abbey, or Upstairs Downstairs ... inside the British Royal Family from the servant's perspective half a century ago including rare royal photographs taken on tour.

Margaret Bramford presents the life of her aunt, told in her own words. Florence had a Victorian childhood and Edwardian adolescence. She was privileged to reside in many royal residences with her Ladies in Waiting and joined many Royal Tours around the world. God bless Florence!
