Hello
Hi. I'm Tim Vicary and I work at the university of York, England. Most of the books you see on Goodreads under my name are graded readers published by Oxford University Press, specially written for foreign learners of English. They are fun to write and easy to read, and I've even won a couple of awards for them recently, from the Extensive Reading Foundation.
But I also write full-length crime and historical novels, which you can read about on my website http://www.timvicary.com
The crime novels are legal thrillers, featuring a tough British barrister called Sarah Newby. The first one of these A Game of Proof, was published in print under a pseudonym, Megan Stark, but now I've republished it under my own name, on Amazon Kindle and in print, together with two sequels, A Fatal Verdict and Bold Counsel, also starring Sarah Newby.
Two of the other novels, The Blood Upon the Rose and Cat and Mouse, are historical thrillers set just before and after the first world war, in the same period as the TV series Downton Abbey. Just as in Downton Abbey, the characters have complex adventures in aristocratic houses, above and below stairs, and are influenced by the dramatic political events of the time, in England and in Ireland.
The third historical novel, the Monmouth Summer, is a tragic tale of love and heroism whose characters are entangled with the Monmouth Rebellion of 1685. It also features England's most notorious judge, Judge Jeffries.
