Is your name really Boleyn?

Question: You spent how much for a website that does what?

Answer: Oh, let’s don’t quibble about cash. The Tudor Times is an electronic publication from New Concepts Software So, you can expect to find the best of Michigan on display, learn a little something and maybe buy some products.

Question: Let me be clear, you did all this to sell letter openers?

Answer: Well, no. I’m thinking about adding T-shirts and coffee mugs. Besides, these just aren’t just any letter openers, these make a statement of taste and distinction.

Question: Do you realize that even if people find your website, they undoubtedly have e-mail? Why in the (Bleep) would they need a letter opener?

Answer: This is about the money thing, isn’t it? First, e-mail will never replace the thrill of holding and opening a letter addressed to you and you alone from someone who took the time to write. Often, I find the people taking the time to write to me are collection agencies and lawyers, but, no matter, it’s still a letter. Second, if you do have to deal with such unpleasantness, why not do it with style? These letter openers are just the ticket for handling the letters that life hands you.

Question: Only you would "think outside the box" and use expensive, cutting edge technology to tout products of another time.

Answer: What box? And, what is your question?(Note: it seems that the prime mate has voiced such strenous objections to having the house turned into a shipping dock that we have turned to offering books through Amazon for the time being. Check in often, however, for other items for sale on this site, and do visit the New Concepts Software website.)

Question: Are you going to clutter up the Internet with yet another badly done picture of the person responsible for the website?

Answer: You bet. Standby.

Webmistress Boleyn is shown circa 1996. An "anne-cestor" is looking on in the background.The webmistress appears here as so many of the 16th century Boleyn family and friends did -- sans head.

When Ms Boleyn is not tending to this website, she maintains a busy Patron membership with the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA). She is a governing member of the Visiting Committee for European Sculpture and Decorative Arts and a founding member of the European Paintings Council at the DIA. Ms Boleyn is a Registered Nurse, and a graduate of the University of Detroit (Now UofD Mercy), holding a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. Ms Boleyn is a free lance writer and a fairly regular contributor to Health Care Weekly Review, The Royal Oak Daily Tribune and Michigan Beer Guide. She has branched out to food articles and can be found occasionally in the Taste Section of the Observer & Eccentric Newspapers. Maggie often assists the New Concepts Software new product testing team by calling restaurants and picking up carry-out orders.

Question: What's wrong with you? Why don't your pages have Renaissance Midi Music?

Answer: Oh, I thought it was "Midi-evil", sorry. Golly, "wrong" is so relative these days. Well, sure, the thinking person would have offered such songs as: "Heigh, ho! What shall I say?" (for the Comments Section) And, "Who to should I express?" (For the suggestion form) both attributed to Henry VIII -or- John Dowland’s "If my complaint", depending on the writer’s mood. For the Tavern reviews, "Be peace, you make me spill my ale" is the clear choice. Try, "Blow thi horne" for the What’s New section. "Pastime with Good Company" for the Books, "Helas Madame" for the FAQ, and "Follow thy sunne" for the other realms. Feel free to build your own site with these stunning suggestions.

Question: You don't know where to find excellent Renaissance Midi Music, do you?

Answer: Do so. Visit The Internet Renaissance Band for wonderful midis

Question: Who said, "Content is King, and style is Queen"?. I know you didn't make that up.

Answer: Right you are. I think it was George Carlin, no, Steve Banick and Ryan Sutter in "Front Page 98".

Question: Will you write my term paper? Help me with my project for school? Research my medieval/renaissance thesis?

Answer: Of course we will. Simply e-mail us your credit card information (Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express) and your requirements, and we will take care of the rest. Click for a sample.

Question: Is your name really Boleyn?
