Stephen M. Carter is more historical detective than your traditional historian. By working only with primary sources, Stephen peels back the layers of time, dispels myths, and clears the fog of academia to create a forensic timeline of the subject. This attention to detail delivers the gritty truth regardless of how far this takes his writing from the well-trodden path. The result may take the reader out of their historical comfort zone. Born in England, Stephen lives as an exile in Normandy, France and focuses his research on the reign of the Stuarts. Lucy is his fifth book.
