STOP PRESS...SUE ALLAN'S NEW WORLD TRILOGY WAS PRESENTED TO PILGRIM FATHER DESCENDANT PRESIDENT BUSH AT THE WHITE HOUSE IN SEPTEMBER 2008............           

'Like the fiction of films or costumed re-enactments, Sue Allan's historical novel takes us beyond court records and official memoirs to conversations and emotions whose reality went unrecorded. Cleverly noticing the Pilgrim Fathers least studied by historians, Sue invents a tale of adventure and romance that lets us imagine the life of a maidservant who chose to join the Mayflower Pilgrims. Well-researched and evocative portrayals of Gainsborough Old Hall and the Pilgrim  Father Country of Nottinghamshire will make you want to visit the home of her heroine Dorothy yourself.'
 ---- Jeremy Bangs, Director, Leiden American Pilgrim Museum and Pilgrim Father scholar.

The Mayflower Maid

This heroic story of love and adventure is set against the back drop of the turbulent times of the USA's origins. It was a period  of sustained persecution for a group of people known in English History as 'the 'Separatists' and to the Americans as The Pilgrim Fathers.

This book is written by established English author, Sue Allan, in association with American writer, Roger Vorhauer. For the very first time, here is a fully rounded, bi-national, ‘un-sanitized’ epic account of true events leading up to the Mayflower’s monumentally important voyage. This saga is at last faithfully retold in a way that makes history come to life, through the  fictionalization of the action-packed life and  love of one of it’s more humble  passengers, Dorothy ~ the Mayflower Maid.

Tudor Rose

  This novel tells the fascinating real-life story of Rose Hickman, nee Locke. Nearing the end of her life, she wrote a memoir, only part of which still survives. Having done a considerable amount of research, Sue Allan has reconstructed the ‘missing bits’. 

The Lockes and the Hickmans were prosperous London mercers, close to the Crown. They remained steadfast in the Protestantism throughout the turbulent years of the English Reformation. Their beliefs developed into what we today would call Nonconformist, and even when Protestantism was the established religion of England under Elizabeth, the family suffered much hardship because of their faith. 

Sue Allan has made this subject her own in her trilogy that includes Mayflower Maid, Jamestown Woman, and Restoration Lady. Tudor Rose can be seen as a ‘prequel’. 

Rose was born during the reign of Henry VIII and died during that of James I at the ripe old age of 87. Sue Allan has put her heart and soul into bringing a long-forgotten lady to wider attention in what is, clearly, a labour of love...   Sally Zigmond
