A fabulous editorial review of A Pact with the Devil from the Historical Novelist Society.
"an exciting and very readable book with some wonderful descriptions that will make the reader extremely glad that they don’t live in Cracow in 1491! "

As it's #MythologyMonday, here's a more modern take on myth, as used by the Establishment to impose cultural conformity on the plebs. Warning! The book contains considerable snark:

Snarky pleb meta-novel Constructing Churchill is up to number 5 on the Amazon Australia Political Humour list; not bad for a small independent publisher (and an even smaller author):

A diabolical historical mystery only a polymath can bring down to Earth - a nice mental exercise for Mother's Day

Great article on fictional women in motorsport; I constructed my (Steampunk) series as though a modern-day editor is presenting Poppy's story to create a distancing effect and make the reader ask how accurate & honest the editor was - or could be. Not sure I succeeded though.
