History, Legend and Invention with L.A. Kristiansen

The Ringwood Publishing Podcast

In this episode we talk with L.A. Kristiansen about her upcoming release, Revenge of the Tyrants, the second book in a series on the Scottish Wars of Independence, which will be launched on Sunday, April 28th at 2pm at Hillhead Library in Glasgow! The event is free and you can grab a copy of Revenge of the Tyrants there.
Born and bred in Glasgow, author L.A. Kristiansen discovered a passion for Scottish History through her enthusiasm for genealogy. In her research, she uncovered close family ties with many of the leaders of the wars of Scottish Independence. The likes of Bishop Wishart, Robert the Bruce, and the fearsome William Wallace are, in fact, woven into her own ancestral tapestry.
During further research and exploration, Lynda discovered how their bravery and courage played a significant part in influencing the events of the 13th and 14th century, and she decided to write about them, interlacing fact and fiction in the lead up to the acknowledgement of Scotland’s sovereignty in 1328, and Bruce’s death in 1329.
Lynda is a writer, and dabbles in IT whilst spending her time in Scotland, France, and Norway, researching the adventures of these characters.
