For a limited period my novel can be had in hardback for the same price as soft cover!
This is the tale of Eve de Clavering, a child bride sold into a loveless union with the Audley heir for the sake of her father’s dynastic ambitions. Twice widowed by the age of twenty-one, she had no children in wedlock but five by her lover from a twenty-year relationship without the blessing of law or priest. Surrounded by controversy and intrigue, she became a fitting companion for Queen Isabella, the ‘she-wolf’ of France. Her eldest boy, James Audley, although illegitimate, was a favourite of Edward III and the Black Prince, a founding member of the Garter Knights, and hero of the battle of Poitiers in the Hundred Years War. Eve lived seventy-six years, dying in September 1369—the same month and year as her celebrated son. Follow the turbulent sweep of 14th century history through Eve’s eyes. Wars, politics, murder, and forbidden love all played a part in her remarkable story.
sorry to have been inactive lately but we've been through some fairly big changes.
Some of you may be aware I was made redundant in October 2008 from a job that allowed me a lot of freedom and travel thoughout the UK. It was demanding work, so losing the job was not a total catastrophe. In the following 10 months I had a lot of time on my hands to devote to Yuwie, Twitter, and other online activities.
I have been a Yuwie member for over two years and throughly enjoyed my time here.
Recently I was asked to take up a job I last did 20 years ago, namely double-deck bus driving. I was a bit wary at first and needed some familiarisation but I am now committed to making a success of the experimental route I am helping with.
In short it doesn't leave a lot of time for online activities and I am publishing this blog here in the knowledge that it will also show up in my Twitter timeline,.
I think the Twitter connection is one of the better innovations introduced by Yuwie.;
So please don't think I've vanished off the face of the earth, or I'm ignoring you! The real world is demanding much more of my time and attention!
My publisher will probably murder me but I have made my novel Letter from Poitou available as an .epub file for a fraction of the hard copy cost.
Epub files can be read by many types of portable readers, a method showing the fastest rise in book sales anywhere. The generic Adobe Digital Editions is a default reader for pc's.
I know this format is not everyone's cup of tea but for those it suits this is a great bargain.
My novel 'Letter from Poitou' is having a good day today. Thanks to the generosity and computer knowhow of a friend at Twitter I now have it available in ebook format suitable for those small readers that people have on their phones etc., that's quite an advance.
Another thrill was to receive a hardback copy direct from the publishers in Baltimore, I'm very pleased about that as my daughters particularly want to know that it will be there as a family heirloom.
I'm looking at ways of making the ebook available to frinds at Yuwie and Twitter for just a few bucks to cover my costs and I'm open to suggestions as to how I might manage that.
