Masque of Deceptions

Available in e-book and paperback. Hardback and audiobook to follow!

Here is what some readers say about it:-

New life brought to traditional historical romance tropes and themes.

All my favourite elements: fully realised characters, especially a strong heroine; a marriage of convenience; a gorgeous slow burning romance; a touch of jeopardy and a beautifully depicted historical backdrop.

I loved this excellent novel and know I will reread it often – whenever I need a dose of uplifting and heart-warming romance.

The juxtaposition of a successfully growing manufacturing business with the difficulties suffered by the landed gentry as they try to make their land productive is telling and adds immeasurable richness and depth to the story.

Daniel and Anna are excellent characters, and the story, with two villains, made for suspenseful reading.

Buy it from Amazon, B&N, Kobo and other market-places.

“Beautifully written, excellent prose, suspense and romance in equal measure. Well drawn characters. Interwoven with a fascinating historical backcloth. I loved this book. It had everything.”

“The Play What I Wrote”

The trial of Charles 1 took place from January 20th to January 27th, 1649, The King was executed at 2pm on January 30th outside the Banqueting House in Whitehall. The clockface at Horseguards still marks the hour. I wrote Man of Blood or Martyr of the People? in response to a request for a fund-raising event that could be held in Sandwich’s medieval courtroom. It was performed to packed houses in August 2016 … and the King was found not guilty by every audience!
