I just ran across a (relatively) new (2011) Cecily Neville novel, "The Thwarted Queen" by Cynthia Haggard, reviewed here
http://www.historyandwomen.com/2011/11/cecily-neville-thwarted-queen-by.html
and available for a low price here as a Kindle download:
http://www.amazon.com/THWARTED-QUEEN-ebook/dp/B005X0VNBM
I've only read the reviews and downloaded the first free sample (it's a series of four books, so you get four free downloads), so it's too early to know whether I'll keep reading. Rather annoyingly, the author calls the main character Cecylee, but the book seems to be well written if you don't mind first-person narration in the present tense, which can be hard for any but a skilled author to sustain. Some readers may not like the author's handling of the question of Edward's legitimacy (the reviews contain spoilers), but it promises to make Cecily's relationships with her three surviving sons interesting.
