Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Joanne Larner was born in London and moved to Rayleigh in Essex (UK) in 2001. She has wanted to write a novel since the age of thirteen and finally managed it in 2015. She was helped by two things: National Novel Writing Month and Richard III. Richard was her inspiration and she became fascinated by him when she saw the Channel 4 documentary 'The King in the Car Park' in February 2013. She researched his life and times and read countless novels, but became fed up because they all ended the same way - with his death at the Battle of Bosworth.

So she decided to write a different type of Richard story and added a time travel element. The rest is (literally) history. She found his character seemed to write itself and with NaNoWriMo giving her the impetus to actually DO it, she succeeded.

Then came two sequels, making 'Richard Liveth Yet' a trilogy - a kind of 'Back to the Future' with Richard III!

She was asked by Susan Lamb, another Ricardian author, to collaborate on a humorous book about Richard, 'Dickon's Diaries', where Richard (aka Dickon) narrates in Olde Englishe the escapades of his household at his castle of 'Muddleham'. You can see the type of humour used on our Facebook page, Dickon for his Dames: https://www.facebook.com/Dickiethird/

In 2017 one of her Ricardian short stories was accepted for inclusion in an anthology of scary stories edited by Dan Alatorre: The Box Under the Bed

This book is hilarious. Don't take it too seriously. Poor Francis Lovell - picked on again. Recommended if you're tired of only sad stories of Richard III.

Dickon’s Diaries 2: Another Yeare in the Lyff of King Richard the Third
Joann R Larner & Susan Lamb

Dickon and his Dames (fangirls?) are back in the second installment in the Dickon’s Diaries series is just as funny as the first. The cover alone is worth buying, with a drawing of Richard smoothing down his luxurious locks as he prepares to take a “Self-ye”.

More fun in the village of Muddleham with King Richard III (Dickon to his friends), his Quene and wyff, Anne, the king’s close friend Francis Lovell, and his Dames. It really helps to have a knowledge of the Ricardian world, as some of the jokes might not make a lot of sense to “outsiders”, such as in “An Incident in Muddleham” where a couple historians lose their way and end up at Muddleham Castle. One of my favorites, though, is the section titled “Jägermeister” in which a tipsy Quene Anne flirts with her husband.

Another laugh out loud book, an ideal antidote to the usual serious books that are written about Richard, I too believe he must have had some lighthearted moments in his life, it couldn't have been all doom and gloom, I particularly liked Snarkey, all pompous and all knowing (he thinks) I think that the authors must have a great time writing these diaries, they are certainly a lot of fun to read and maybe Snarkey should be made to read them, after all he believes in Shakespeare and More !!! and could do with lightening up a bit, it's all great fun.
