AUTHOR BIO

Marthese Fenech is the number one bestselling author of epic historical novels set in sixteenth-century Malta and Istanbul. Research has taken her to the ancient streets her characters roamed, the fortresses they defended, the seas they sailed, and the dungeons they escaped.

Marthese Fenech's Blog: In the gap between two trapezes

Audiobook now available!

Elated to announce the launch of the audiobook version of my first novel, Eight Pointed Cross. I cannot begin to convey how beautifully narrator Simon Hester brings my story to life, nor can I properly express what a dream come true it is for me to hear my words read aloud by such a talented voice artist. To listen to my characters speak as though they are in the same room with me is something tha Read more of this blog post »

Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars Katrina Passick Lumsden shared a note and highlight from New Hope by Annabella Michaels (Goodreads Author) See all Katrina’s notes and highlights for this book She’d always had her own unique style, not caring what anyone else thought of her. I’d always felt like her clothing was a perfect symbol of the woman who wore them. Funky, carefree, and full of life. This time, she was wearing a fuchsia shirt, a colorful skirt that hung loose, swaying around her ankles as she walked, and a pair of Birkenstock clogs. Omfg that's so fucking UNIQUE, I can't even.
