We speak no treason

I can't find an online link (I saw this in the paper copy) but there were two contributions about Richard  in the Daily Mail letters page today, both positive.  One of them was by Rosemary Hawley Jarman and she  mentioned that We Speak No Treason is out as an e book in six weeks.

Got a sub to pressdisplay.com, so was able to access the text as pdf.  Here's the RHJ Letter:

"A SKELETON, possibly
that of Richard III, reveals a spinal curvature (scoliosis). This condition is
shared by golfers, archers (as found during the Battle of Towton excavation)
and anyone who wielded a battle axe from an early age. Richard was a captain at
12 years old during the Wars of the Roses. I have scoliosis and a sloping
shoulder after major lung surgery, but I'm not a hunchback' as the Tudors
chose to call Richard, intimating that an evil soul must dwell in a deformed
body. An X-ray of the picture of Richard in the National Portrait Gallery
reveals the later addition of a humped shoulder. At Richard's coronation, he
and his queen, Anne, were required to kneel stripped to the waist to receive
the Chrism (holy oil) on their breasts. The large gathering of gossipy European
guests made no mention of grotesque grotesq deformity in their reports. The
Press coverage of the excavation has gone into overdrive, sensationally
referring to Richard's possible crime when it is, in fact, unproven. Henry VII
made it his business to wipe out all remaining Plantagenets who might have
threatened his claim to the throne  and these may have included the Princes in
the Tower. Richard, secure on his throne, had no motive to dispose of them. My
novel of Richard III, We Speak No Treason, was first published in 1971 and was
reissued by The History Press this year. It will also be an ebook in six weeks.
