Mysteriously Medieval will be a series of standalone novels set in the medieval era, between c.500 and c.1500. Although the books are likely to contain real historical figures and real events, the bulk of the story will be fictional, based on the myths and legends of the people of the time or folklore around a particular place, blending historical fiction with horror, spooky, fantasy and perhaps even science fiction! They might take place anywhere in medieval Europe and beyond. But having said that, the first two and quite likely the first three will all take place in my home county of Devon! The first book in the series Call of the Viking Dead will be coming soon.

What is your favourite myth/legend from the medieval era? Or are there any curious medieval tales from where you live? Let me know in the comments – I’d love to hear more!
