With a lifelong interest in King Richard III of England Carson published Richard III: The Maligned King (2008, 2009, 2013, 2017), a revisionist analysis of his reign based on non-Tudor sources.
Carson concluded that the King’s remains still lay under the Greyfriars Church in Leicester where he was originally buried and that the site ‘would now probably lie beneath the private car park of the Department of Social Services’ editions of 2008, 2009, pp.
269-270.

While she was still in South Africa the Looking For Richard Project was initiated in the UK and following her return in 2011 Carson was invited to join the Project as historical consultant.
The Project’s aim was to find the lost grave of Richard III and his mortal remains which meant excavating the same Social Services car park that Carson had written about.
Of Richard III: The Maligned King, Philippa Langley, who had founded the Looking for Richard Project said that ‘It was the first book I had read to make this claim.’.
As well as being historical consultant, Carson contributed to the scripting and copywriting of the International Appeal that saved the dig from a £10,000 shortfall.

In 2013 after revising The Maligned King Carson published Richard III: A Small Guide to the Great Debate.
In 2014 members of the Looking For Richard Project collaborated to produce a report of their research, edited and published by Carson, entitled Finding Richard III: The Official Account of Research by the Retrieval and Reburial Project.
In 2014 Carson was awarded Honorary Life Membership of the Richard III Society.

In 2015 Carson published her fourth Ricardian book, Richard Duke of Gloucester as Lord Protector and High Constable of England, with Ken Hillier saying in the Ricardian Bulletin: "A compelling narrative".

Articles by Carson have been published in magazines including the Richard III Society’s Ricardian Bulletin, and twice in the Society's annual journal The Ricardian, in 2005 and 2012.

Her media appearances include BBC Radio 4 Great Lives: Richard III (2015), and a news item University of Leicester find human remains in car park in search for Richard III.
Carson states: "It's my belief we simply don't know as much as we're led to think we know about Richard III and his period, and an open mind serves us better than one that runs along well-worn paths."
