Blog Hop winner...

A few days have passed since the 'Casting Light on the Darkness' blog hop, and it's time to announce the winner...Alison Bahmuller! A signed paperback copy of my novel, Nowhere Was There Peace, will be winging its way towards Alison as soon as possible. Congratulations to her, and thanks to you all for participating.

Oh, and a belated Merry Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New Year to you all!

Casting some light on the darkness...

This is a preview announcement - he said without a trace of pomposity - of the 'Casting Light Upon the Darkness' blog hop due to begin on the 21st December. 

There will be 24 lovely authors taking part, of which I am the least loveliest. The theme is not confined to history, though most of us are authors of historical fiction. As ever with blog hops, there will be lots of goodies and free prizes on offer (just in time for a cheap Christmas), so be sure to check back in on the 21st!

Blog Hop winner's announcement!

...and the winner of the Summer Banquet Blog Hop iiisssss.....

TINNEY HEATH!

Well done, Tinney :) And a big thank you to everyone else who entered, read my post and 'hopped' with the best of them!

A free paperback copy of The White Hawk will be winging its way to the winner ASAP!

More hops will surely follow, so keep your eyes peeled....

Summer Banquet Hop

It's almost summer - though UK-based people like me could be forgiven for thinking otherwise - and the season for barbecues: or, if you were living in the Middle Ages and could afford it, a feast or banquet.

To get your taste buds quivering, over thirty historical fiction authors will be posting about the kind of food consumed during their chosen eras of writing. The hop is scheduled to run between the 3rd-7th of June and as usual lots of fantastic free prizes and giveaways will be on offer.

I will be offering a free paperback copy of Book One of my Wars of the Roses saga, The White Hawk: a bloody, violent and intensely political tale, and something for the lucky winner to get his or her teeth into...
