Some of you may have read the story of young Alex Goodwin, who, following his experience with traumatic illness from the age of eight, discovered the true story of King Richard III and his experience with scoliosis.
As a young Ricardian Alex will be visiting the Richard III Festival at Middleham Castle in July for the first time, and I and several fellow authors will be welcoming him to our author event as a special guest.
To help Alex’s family with the costs, we have set up a fundraiser and I would be delighted if you would consider donating even a small amount.

With very many thanks and I hope we’ll see you at Middleham too! 
Alex Marchant is author of two books telling the story of the real King Richard III for children aged 10+, The Order of the White Boar and The King’s Man, and a third in the sequence, King in Waiting, which continues the adventures of the young members of the Order in the following years. A fourth book, Sons of York, is due out in June 2022. Watch this space!
Alex is also editor of Grant Me the Carving of My Name and Right Trusty and Well Beloved…, two anthologies of short fiction inspired by King Richard, sold in support of Scoliosis Association UK (SAUK).
Alex has also published a standalone timeslip novel for readers aged 10+, Time out of Time, relating the adventures of Allie Turner through a doorway into history found under layers of old wallpaper at ancient Priory Farm.
