Book Tour for Lady of Lincoln!

The Random Things Through My Letterbox Book Tour for Lady of Lincoln Starts Today

The Tour Poster for the Random Things Through My Letterbox Blog Tour for Lady of Lincoln

Some very exciting news: Lady of Lincoln is heading out on a Random Things Tours book tour starting today, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share Nicola de la Haye's story with a fresh set of readers and reviewers.

‍Nicola de la Haye was England's first female sheriff and hereditary constable of Lincoln Castle — a woman written out of history rather than simply forgotten by it. In 1217, her defence of Lincoln Castle is argued to have stopped a French takeover of England. And yet, until now, almost nobody has told her story. Lady of Lincoln is my attempt to put that right, starting with the remarkable years of her young adulthood.

Since publication, the book has picked up some wonderful recognition, including:

Coffee Pot Book Club Book of the Year 2025

Literary Titan Gold Award

BlueInk Notable Book

Readers' Favorite 5 stars

Firebird Award Winner

HFC Gold 2025

Amazon #1 Bestseller

‍Lady of Lincoln is available now in paperback, ebook, on Kindle Unlimited, and as an audiobook: books2read.com/u/4980nW

‍Where to follow the tour

‍I'd love for you to check in with each host on their date and give them some love — every comment, like, and share helps introduce Nicola to new readers.

Rachel Elwiss Joyce

Rachel Elwiss Joyce, Author of Historical Fiction.

Exploring power, loyalty, and love in turbulent medieval England.

Rachel came to novel writing later in life, but she has always been passionate about history, storytelling, and the forgotten voices of women. She writes meticulously researched, immersive historical fiction that brings overlooked heroines into the light.

She started inventing tales about medieval women living in castles when she was just six years old—and never stopped. But when she discovered the extraordinary story of Nicola de la Haye, the first female sheriff, who defended Lincoln Castle from a French invasion and became known as ‘the woman who saved England’, Rachel knew she had found a heroine worth telling the world about.

Lady of Lincoln is her debut novel, the first book in her Nicola de la Haye Series, with sequels to follow.
