A warm welcome to my website.
Come on in and have a browse around. Hopefully you'll find items
to entertain, inform and amuse!
There are sections about
me, about the award winning novels I write
(including extracts from recent ones which will be regularly updated)
and about my fascination with the details of Medieval life that
have led me to research by re-enactment.
I do hope that you will enjoy your visit and
please feel free to email
me about anything you see or read here!
NEW! I've
set up some extra pages for my readers' interest and convenience.
For my regularly updated blog containing historical
snippets, news, and reports on how the work is going click here:
Shields of Pride
comes out for the first time in paperback in the UK on December
6th. Waterstones are featuring it in a 3 for 2 promotion if you're
in the UK and want a bargain. It is, of course, one of my earlier
novels, but until now only available to a limited audience. I've
re-edited it and it's ready to go.
Click on the youtube trailer for a few more
visuals.
The Wild hunt,
The Running Vixen and The
Leopard Unleashed will also be available again in due course. There are
no hard dates as yet but they are on their way. Watch this space!
A Place Beyond
Courage the story of William Marshal's father John, came
out at the beginning of October in hardcover and has almost sold
out. I don't know if my publisher will be reprinting before the
paperback later next year, so if you do need a copy of the hardcover,
get it ordered now.
The Scarlet Lion
has been nominated one of the landmark historical novels of
the last ten years by Richard Lee, founder of the Historical Novel
society. It's
a stand alone novel but does follow on from The Greatest Knight
to tell William
Marshal's life story from 1197-1219
Copies
of my other novels are also available with signed bookplates from
The Book Place.
THE
GREATEST KNIGHT - the story of William
Marshal, Royal protector, loyal servant, forgotten hero.
