Many thanks

Well that was a satisfying start over a 1000 copies of my book out on the free promotion, all we need now is for people to read them, enjoy them and tell folks about them. But most of all thank you for your interest. It’s always a worry when a new book goes out, was it what people wanted and did it fill their expectations. Especially if it’s a new period for the tale, as The Daughter of Sandstone Manor is, delving into the 1700s a period I have always been interested in but never studied until now. I found it fascinating doing the research thank heavens for the web it saved me many trips to the library and of course being able to print the relevant pages out means now I have a huge reference file for my next book also to be about the same period, if this one proves acceptable that is. So we’ll see how it fares by Christmas and take a rain check then. Again thanks to all who have got a free copy I really hope you enjoy it.

Only 2 Free days to go

My seventh book “The Daughter of Sandstone Manor” was launched last Wednesday. I believe it’s my best book since I wrote Inshallah but you can see if you agree as it’s free till Sunday. Here’s the description -
The Daughter of Sandstone Manor is set in the 1700’s where smuggling and lewd behaviour was common practice.
Lady Isobel was witness to her father’s murder and was threatened by the culprit, an event which led her to leave her family home and take a post as a servant in a hostelry under the assumed name of Jess Newman. The story is a tale of events in her young life from when the she arrives at the Inn and her father’s murderer Edward Grant finds her. Edward Grant wants her for his mistress but the information she has gathered on his future plans, he decides to rape and kill her. Her one saviour is Charles Blake a senior figure in the Riding Officers (later to become Coast Guards) a mystery man to all who frequented the Inn. Charles was a handsome young man and at first she held him in suspicion until gradually he proved himself to be a friend.
The book gives some insight to the life, romance, rape, murder and smuggling that went on in the 1700’s.
The people who have read the manuscript seem to be captivated by the story and you can now try it too as it’s FREE on Kindle till 5th July
