About

As you have probably gathered by now my name is Teresa Nordheim. I was born and raised in Washington state. My supportive husband Andre, daughters Cindi, Katerina, and I live in a beautiful Puyallup, Washington.

From the time I could pick up a pencil, I was drawing. It didn't matter if it was a squiggly line, horses running or silly cartoon people. I fell in love with drawing.

As time passed I wanted my drawings to come to life. So I started writing. I fell in love with writing. I can remember sitting on the steps of my grandparent's home with paper and pencil. I was working on my trillionth drawing of a horse when my Grandpa approached me.

He said, "If you keep practicing, you will succeed." I took those words to heart and followed my dream. Apart from my family, writing and illustrating children's books is my greatest passion.

Description

<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</span><br /><span class="a-text-bold" style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;">B.R.A.G.
