Hi there and welcome.I've set up this page to list my forthcoming appearances.
I've also listed my UK book titles in chronological order because I am often asked. Scroll down past the 'Events' section to see them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forthcoming Appearances and Events
As many of you know, Sourcebooks is publishing THE GREATEST KNIGHT in the USA on September 1st. It's going to be available in both paperback and electronic format, including Amazon Kindle.To celebrate the publication, Source has arranged for me to go on a virtual Blog Tour. I'd love to cross oceans at some point and meet the readers, but this is a great substitute for now. Look out for guest appearances on the blogs below on the given dates, where I'll be talking a little bit about William Marshal (a lot actually, what a man!), and about writing historical fiction. I am told there are going to be book giveaways too, so there's a chance to win a free copy of THE GREATEST KNIGHT.
See you there!

FURTHER DOWN THE PIPELINE
I've listed these in order of publication. You will notice that some titles have been re-issued under different imprints.
I am also in the middle of re-editing some of the early out of print titles for future re-issue - see note at the end.
It should also be noted that Children of Destiny has been re-edited and re-issued under it's USA title of Daughters of the Grail.
A few titles have missing ISBNS but I hope to fill them in at a later date once I've been up into the loft! Please bear with me.
Where a title appears for the first time, I have put the description underneath in green. Also in green I have indicated where novels link to others and in what order they should be read to take best advantage of that linkage. To help quickly identify those with links to other novels, I have added a red asterisk.

Mid 12th Century. Based on the true story of John FitzGilbert Marshal, father of William Marshal and a man of outstanding bravery. Links to The Greatest Knight and The Scarlet Lion. Can be read as a prequel to these, but I prefer myself to see it as a stand alone to the story of a man who was remarkable in his own right.
