I said I'd post about my books but I haven't really (hard week at the Day Job) so I'm going back to one of my earlier ones. The Saxon Outlaw's Revenge is a romance set in post Norman Conquest Cheshire though I couldn't resist sticking some grisly scenes in (it starts with a mass execution of rebels). It was good fun to write and readers seemed to enjoy it. getbook.at/SaxonOutlaw
