Hilary Mantel is the two-time winner of the Man Booker Prize for her best-selling novels, *Wolf Hall*, and its sequel, *Bring Up the Bodies*—an unprecedented achievement. The Royal Shakespeare Company recently adapted *Wolf Hall* and *Bring Up the Bodies* for the stage to colossal critical acclaim and a BBC/Masterpiece six-part adaption of the novels will broadcast in 2015. The author of fourteen books, including *A Place of Greater Safety*, *Beyond Black,* and the memoir *Giving up the Ghost*, she is currently at work on the third installment of the Thomas Cromwell Trilogy.
