/ Admin / 4 Comments

A Council of Wolves is now available in paperback and as an ebook from major online retailers. It’s a traditional detective story set in the time of King Alfred in Anglo-Saxon England, with kings, clues, horses and hounds, country houses, swords, spears, and Vikings!

England, AD 879. Called away from his own wedding to accompany his brother on an urgent diplomatic mission for King Alfred of Wessex, the young royal official Lord Edwin of Wimborne becomes suspicious of an “accidental” death that occurs during their stay in neighboring Mercia. As Edwin investigates, he uncovers a tangle of deadly ambitions around the Mercian kingship. Back at home, Edwin’s bride Molly becomes embroiled in events that may have far-reaching consequences as well.

Can Edwin unravel the true course of events in time to save an innocent man and foil a disastrous political plot bolstered by a band of renegade Vikings? When Molly finds the royal estate of Wimborne prey to neglect, embezzlers and seething local discontent, can she turn the tide and make it safe for King Alfred?

My first Anglo-Saxon mystery will be published very soon. Stay tuned!

A Council of Wolves is the first novel in the Edwin of Wimborne mystery series. It will be published soon in paperback and ebook form, and will be available worldwide from your favorite online retailer, or can be ordered from your bookshop or library. Didn’t Hannah Linder Designs do a lovely job on the cover?

British Book Bonanza!

This year I was one of two hundred or so who had the pleasure of attending the Bodies from the Library conference via Zoom. This is an annual conference about Golden Age detective fiction hosted by the British Library. It was very exciting to hear many favorite bloggers and authors, including the authors of books pictured here. Attendees were invited to purchase discounted books from the British Library Bookshop. These were my choices–can’t wait to dive in!
