We are past Halloween and Bonfire Night, and thoughts and the season are turning towards Christmas. Christmas was the longest holiday of the year in the medieval period described in my novels and the winter is a great time to cosy up with a book.
If you have a historical fiction fan on your Christmas shopping list and you are in Wales, you could search out my books at:
Pembroke Castle Shop during their Christmas Market 28–30 November
Carew Castle Shop during Glow: Illuminations at the Castle on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings, 28 November to 14 December, or combine it with a visit to Santa’s Grotto
or find me in Book Space Cardiff
Nest ferch Rhys, the heroine of my Conquest trilogy lived in Pembroke, Carew, and Cardiff castles, as well as a few others. She is related to the Tudors, the Windsors, and the Fitzgeralds. I will be giving a talk on the Fitzgeralds in medieval Ireland at the Historical Novel Society conference in Maynooth next August.
My novel, The Viking Hostage, is also partly set in Pembrokeshire, Wales.
And if you aren’t in Wales, you can always visit my online Christmas Shop, offering discounted prices on books and delivery to addresses in the US and the UK.
