Jemahl’s comments from the Charles I - II - 17th-18th century! group.

My publisher has a deal on this weekend with my first book and a collection of short stories free on kindle. The series is set in the English Civil War and has got good reviews. The Times said that 'the research is impeccable and the writing full of verve' and the Oliver Cromwell Society said 'the language fizzes with ribaldry and bawdiness.'

Um, so my debut novel is being published by Holland House Books in August, available for pre order now on waterstones.

The Last Roundhead.

Ancestor to Colonel Blimp, Sir Blandford Candy is an irascible old drunk with a hatred of poets and a love of hats. After an argument with his new neighbour Alexander Pope, he looks back on his life and the start of the Civil War.

Young Blandford sets off for London following an illicit affair with his brother's betrothed and joins the army to fight the King, taking part in the battles of Edgehill and Turnham Green.

As he bounces from battlefield to bedroom, Blandford unmasks Cavalier plots, earns the enmity of the King's agents and uncovers an attempt to steal thousands. All whilst dealing with murderous brothers, scheming sisters and puritan displeasure.

Flashman meets the Three Musketeers in a picaresque romp through Stuart England at its nadir.
