Today, I am proud to host a stop on Tony Riches’ blog tour for his latest book, Raleigh. Like most of his books, this his latest offering is set in Tudor times, which, as some of you may know, is not my favourite era. At all. But I make an exception for Tony Riches’ books, …

Today, dear peeps, I have the pleasure of hosting one of the stops on The Coffee Pot Book Club’s blog tour of Essex, Tony Riches’ latest release. When I was given the opportunity to read and review, I more or less leapt at it, despite having a problem with men in puff breeches and hose …

Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure to read quite a few of Tony Riches’ books, knowing that I am guaranteed a well-researched and enthralling ride through the past.
