THE PLAYER available in audio – yes, REALLY!

I must have been psychic yesterday!

The Player (Rockliffe #3) performed by wonderful Alex Wyndham

is now available to purchase from Audible, Amazon and i-Tunes.

Tragedy drove him into unwilling exile. Death demands his reluctant return.

In the decade between, he has answered to many names and amassed a variety of secrets.

Now the actor known to Paris as L’Inconnu must resume his real identity and become Francis Adrian Sinclair Devereux, Earl of Sarre … a man he no longer knows how to be and whose name, thanks to the malice of a friend turned enemy, remains tarnished by an old scandal.

Revenge, so long avoided, slithers temptingly from the shadows.

The stage is set, the cast assembled and the Duke of Rockliffe waits for the curtain to rise.

In the wings, Lord Sarre prepares to make his entrance.

He doesn’t expect to be greeted with applause.

GARLAND OF STRAW on Countdown

Garland of Straw (R&C #2) is on Countdown from Friday 15th – and I’m hoping Amazon doesn’t screw it up this time.  Meanwhile, Lords of Misrule (R&C #4) is available for pre-order.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The good-looking fellow on the cover of Garland is Sir William Compton, a younger son of the Earl of Northampton. For a gentleman most folk have never heard of, his name crops up surprisingly often; often enough for him to have made an appearance in four of my books.

At the age of 19, he was Governor of Banbury Castle during the Great Siege of 1644 – A Splendid Defiance and The Black Madonna. He fought in the Kent and Essex risings of second Civil War and was at the siege of Colchester – Garland of Straw. And he’s made a guest appearance in Lords of Misrule in his role as one of the founder members of the Sealed Knot.  Busy gentleman – and quite an old friend of mine.

Roundheads & Cavaliers Book Four

Well, here it is at last.  Lords of Misrule

– or the Eden Project, as it’s been referred to here at home for the least year.

Still tied to his desk in the Intelligence Office, Colonel Eden Maxwell has become increasingly disenchanted with both Oliver Cromwell and his own daily existence; and with the advent of new Royalist conspiracies, he despairs of ever getting away.  Then a brick hurled through the window of a small workshop sets in motion a new and unexpected chain of events. After all, who would want to hurt Lydia Neville – a young widow, giving work and self-respect to maimed war veterans considered unemployable elsewhere? But when the assaults in Duck Lane escalate, threatening the life and remaining limbs of some of Eden’s former troopers, finding the culprit becomes personal.

At their first meeting, Lydia finds Colonel Maxwell annoying; by their second, having discovered that he had arrested and questioned her brother in connection with the Ship Tavern Plot, she mistrusts his motives. On the other hand, it swiftly becomes plain that she needs his help … and has difficulty resisting his smile.

Solving the increasingly hazardous mystery surrounding Lydia is not Eden’s only task. Between plots to assassinate the Lord Protector and a Royalist rising in Scotland, he must also mend the fences within his own family and get to know his son. Life suddenly goes from mind-numbing tedium to frenetic complexity.

With reckless Cavaliers lurking around every corner and a government still struggling to find its way, Lords of Misrule is set against a time of national discontent and general failure. But readers of the previous books in the series can look forward to catching up with old friends as well as meeting new ones … while, against all the odds, Eden and Lydia find danger and reward in equal measure.

Lords of Misrule is now available for pre-order at Amazon. Over the last four years, I’ve been asked for Eden Maxwell’s story more times than I can count, so here it is. It’s respectfully dedicated to all those who wanted it. I hope no one is disappointed.
