Celebrating Christmas early with a new release and a giveaway!

I’ve had a couple of chapters lying around for ages on my laptop. My Alex and her Matthew (protagonists of my time travel series The Graham Saga) have been trying to get my attention for about as long, Alex growing increasingly irritated as I’ve focused on other stuff, like my recently released medieval book, His …

A banquet for the queen

This post is part of the on-going Summer Banquet Blog Hop hosted by Maria Grace, ably assisted by David Pilling.  The theme of the hop is food – preferably food from the period the participating authors write about, which should result in quite the smorgasbord of dishes.
