We are excited today to reveal the cover for Lindsay Rumbold’s upcoming Cold War thriller, Banshee!

A DEADLY SECRET. A HIDDEN TRAITOR.

July 1964:
A top-secret project at RAF Martinford will equip the Avro Vulcan bomber with a weapon that could change the course of the Cold War. But something is endangering aircraft and crews. Flt Lt Gordon Thompson must find out what that danger is - before it’s too late.

October 2022:
Workmen stumble across a bunker underneath what’s left of RAF Martinford. Inside lie human remains - and classified documents. As he investigates, Flt Lt Alex Farnsworth finds the mystery goes deeper than he could have imagined …

Who is the body, and what really happened at RAF Martinford?

Banshee will be available on Kindle and paperback on the 14th September - pre-order links will be coming soon.

Our newest publication, historical novel The West in Her Eyes by Janet Hancock , is out now and reviews are coming in. Richard Foreman, poet and novelist, author of Wilful Misunderstandings, says it is 'Elegant, with poetic touches ... just enough local detail to make it vivid ... the sense of what it’s like to become a refugee is palpable.'

Here's the blurb:
Summer 1918, and the European war continues to be an inconvenience to twenty-year-old Esther. Daughter of an oil-rich family, she has waited three years at home in Baku on Russia’s Caspian coast to travel to St Petersburg, two thousand miles away, and take up her place as a pianist at the Conservatoire. With Bolsheviks in control of Baku and Turks infiltrating the oilfields, Esther and her family seek temporary respite in Persia. As civil war and rumours of the tsar’s murder make return home increasingly unlikely, two encounters in Teheran determine the course of her life and that of her family.

Repression Ground: A Young Adult Dystopian Thriller (The Newland Trilogy Book 1) eBook : Carter, E.M.: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store

26/06/2024

25/06/2024

An amazing new review from one of our authors, Paul Trembling - Writing (author of the crime thriller Local Killer) for our author E.M. Carter Author's new book.

'The second book in the Newland trilogy, ‘Rebellion Ground’ picks up exactly where ‘Repression Ground’ left off – and the pace doesn’t slow for a moment.

The three protagonists – Carys, Jacob and Amy – have escaped from the Midland Compound, but they still have many dangers to face: from starvation in the barren wastelands outside the Compound, from brutal retribution by the NForce, and even from hostile Outsiders. But they also discover unexpected allies and help when least expected.

And escape alone is not enough. They realise that they must expose the entire corrupt Newland regime. Doing that will put them in even greater danger – the greatest of which is the temptation to compromise.

As with the first book, this isn’t all pace and action. It’s also about difficult choices. It’s about discerning plausible lies and recognising dangerous truths. It’s about courage, love and loyalty and its message is a vital one for all times, but perhaps especially for our times. A powerful, absorbing story that left me more than ready for the concluding volume!'

What a fabulous review for Wheel of Fortune by our author CF Dunn - novels of history, mystery and suspense, from on Instagram. Remember the second in the series, Sun Ascendant, is now also out!

"Historical Fiction Review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really enjoyed being a part of Isobel’s journey in this coming of age tale that follows her story through the times. I liked this fmc she was strong, resilient and easily relatable. Dunn easily takes you back in time with her intricate details and vivid scenes. I flew through this novel so quickly, devouring chapter by chapter wanting to know what was going to happen next.

While this is more of a slow paced novel, that didn’t hinder my love as I felt like we got more of a deeper understanding of the storyline and characters with this pacing. If you’re a historical novel lover you need to read this asap, you can tell this author took her time crafting this story as it’s so easy to picture each scene and setting. I liked the little facts that were also thrown in here and there while reading. Can’t wait to read the next book in this series!"

“How absolutely lovely to delve into the lesser-known characters from Pride & Prejudice and to be left wanting more. Any of these short stories could be full-blown novels to enjoy. Well done, Ruth!”
