I’m a writer and researcher specialising in the High Middle Ages, although I do occasionally branch out into other fields. You can't be a writer without being a reader, and I certainly love to read. You can find out more about my favourite books here. If you'd like to know more about me you can find some information here. To look at the rest of this site please use the links to the left. I'm happy to say that I've received an offer from a well-known publisher to re-publish The Sins of the Father and then hopefully to move on to The Bloody City and future sequels. Once everything is signed and sealed (good medieval idiom, that) I'll post more here.
Many thanks to all those of you who have contacted me to say you have enjoyed the books or that you like the character of Edwin: hopefully there will be plenty more to come!
In the meantime I've started work on volume 3, provisionally entitled Whited Sepulchres: the title follows the theme of being part of a relevant biblical quote, and there's a pat on the back for anyone who can complete that quote without looking it up! I won't give away too much, but I can tell you that, while he was away from his village of Conisbrough, Edwin wanted nothing more than to run home and hide. Now he's back, but he finds that things aren't quite as he remembered or expected, and he's not sure if he wants to stay there. Add in a nasty murder which is rather closer to him than anything that's happened before, and which has serious personal consequences both for him and for the earl, and he's soon knee-deep in trouble ... ![]() Follow me on twitter as I finally join the 21st century! @CathHanley |
