More Progress on Books

 I am pleased to say that I am more than 60% on with the second book in the Walking Among Lions series, and I expect to see it finished and out there by December 2022 at the latest. The working title is Hanley Castle but there is a chance that might change. Anyway, keep looking out for it. 

This will pretty well complete Constance's story when coupled with Within the Fetterlock. However, that novel is now 'hard to find' and also I have found out some new facts; I am conscious of some errors, and I now interpret the political situation slightly differently. Some of this will show up in Hanley Castle, but I have decided that a third volume in the same style is necessary to complete Constance's story.  This has a working title of The Downfall of Our House and I hope to have it out in 2023.

The second Alianore book, The Mists of Middleham is next up. It is very largely finished, just needs a certain amount of work, mainly polishing. It will be finalised once the third Constance book is out, and again I hope this will be in 2023.

The long promised Constance Prequel

 Here we are.


Walking Among Lions is the first of a trilogy about Constance of York. It was first conceived as a prequel to Within the Fetterlock. (A draft title was This New Spring of Time but my friends changed my mind.)

As Within the Fetterlock is now 'hard to find' and my understanding of the politics and certain facts have changed, I have now decided to go the whole hog, so the trilogy will cover her whole life.



I just wanted to mention that a new paperback version of The Adventures of Alianore Audley is now available from Amazon, with a prettier cover and some improvements to the text.
A revised kindle version is to be had too, at a slightly lower price, and a hardback version should soon appear too! (For those who like their books to be reassuringly expensive.)
In case anyone is unfamiliar with Alianore I should stress this is a light-hearted book, not meant to be taken too seriously.
