DARK HORSE Free: Dec 25th-29th
Dark Horse is free on Amazon from December 25th to December 29th.
In a Treacherous Court on Sale for US Readers
I just saw that my publisher put the ebook version of IN A TREACHEROUS COURT on sale for $2.99 (ONLY in the USA, unfortunately). Not sure how long it will last, but thought I’d give my US readers the heads-up.
IN A TREACHEROUS COURT is my debut novel, and it was inspired by my historical research into the life of Flemish painter Susanna Horenbout, who went to work in Henry VIII’s court, possibly as his first female court painter.
Her father, Gerard Horenbout, is the artist who illuminated the famous Sforza Book of Hours for Margaret of Austria.
Susanna married one of Henry VIII courtiers, John Parker, and the book is a fast-paced thriller in which Susanna and Parker are caught up in a big court scandal.

About Calling the Change:
He rescued her despite impossible odds—Garek has rescued Taya and the rest of his village from the sky raiders, but their return home doesn’t bring easier times. The sky raiders aren’t simply going to go away—they still need the shadow ore they came for, and they want the ships Garek stole from them back. But they aren’t the only threat . . .
First she was in danger from the aliens who abducted her, now she’s in danger from her own people—Taya’s been rescued, but she isn’t home a week before she’s taken again, this time by men who walked the walls with Garek. They’ve taken her as a consolation prize of sorts, having failed to get hold of Garek himself. They think Taya’s value to the people they’re working for is her relationship to Garek, but they are wrong . . .
Garek and Taya never gave up on each other before, even when the distance between them was impossibly far, and they aren’t giving up on each other now. As Garek searches for her, and Taya engineers her escape, they discover the motivations behind the new attacks on them are darker than the endless reaches of space they’ve just escaped from.

Cover Reveal x 2
I have two awesome book covers to share with you for two upcoming releases.
The first is Interference (designed by the awesome Elle at EJR Digital Art), a novella (24,000 words) which will appear in the Orphans in the Black anthology that’s coming up in a few months. Interference is the first story in a connected series of stories all set in the same world, called The Verdant String series. Some will be novellas, some will be full length novels.
The second cover is the next book in the Sky Raiders series, Calling the Change. It’s due out in June / July of this year, and the talented Jeff Brown, of Jeff Brown Graphics, designed and illustrated the cover, as he did with the first book, Sky Raiders.
I love both covers, they are so different but so right for the stories they were designed for.
