Lucy Ellis does not believe the past stays buried.
Grief has a way of opening doors—especially the ones history tried to seal.
In contemporary England, Lucy navigates the devastation of a broken heart as she writes a novel giving voice to Amy Robsart, a Tudor woman almost erased from the historical record. Across centuries, two women—one modern, one historical—echo each other in sorrow, longing, and resilience.
As Lucy follows the fragile traces of a woman whose life ended without justice, the boundaries between past and present begin to thin. What emerges is not simply a mystery of history, but a reckoning with grief, love, and the way women’s lives persist—even when they are denied a voice.
Shades of Yellow is a haunting dual-timeline novel about grief, forgiveness, and the women history tried to forget. Blending literary fiction with historical depth, it will resonate with readers who value emotional complexity, quiet storytelling, and books that linger long after the final page.

Wendy J. Dunn is an award-winning Australian writer fascinated by Tudor history – so much so she was not surprised to discover a family connection to the Tudors, not long after the publication of her first Anne Boleyn novel, which narrated the Anne Boleyn story through the eyes of Sir Thomas Wyatt, the elder. Her family tree reveals the intriguing fact that one of her ancestral families – possibly over three generations – had purchased land from both the Boleyn and Wyatt families to build up their own holdings. It seems very likely Wendy’s ancestors knew the Wyatts and Boleyns personally.
Wendy is married, the mother of three sons and one daughter—named after a certain Tudor queen, surprisingly, not Anne. She is also the grandmother of two amazing small boys. She gained her PhD in 2014 and loves walking in the footsteps of the historical people she gives voice to in her novels. Wendy also tutors at Swinburne University of Technology, Australia.
