Is there any chance that you will be offering a kindle version of your Civil War series for U.S. readers?

Michael Arnold Hi. Ah, I see you reposted the question. So, yes, you're in the US. Great. There *were* US kindle versions.... now there aren't.... but hopefully we will rectify that very soon. I will announce on all the socials when we get this sorted.

Many thanks. Mike.

Will you have kindle editions of the Civil War Chronicles, for those of us visually-challenged?

Michael Arnold Hi Michelle. There have always been kindle editions in the UK. Are you in the US??

As it happens, I'm just in the process of moving publisher, so hopefully we can get kindle editions of everything very soon. Many thanks!

Sorry to bother you. Any sign of Book 7 being published? I keep an eye open for an announcement, but not heard anything.

Michael Arnold Hi Tony. Book 7 has been written, that's all I can guarantee at this point. I no longer have the publishing deal with Hodder, so the series is on hold until we can find a new home for it. My agent is working on that at the moment. But, as I say, the seventh is done, so it'll definitely be published eventually, even if I do it myself. Will announce any news here, as soon as there's anything to say!

Very best wishes,

Mike

Hello Michael, Is there any chance that you will come back with more books concerning the English Civil War Chronicles, beside the already great 6? I hope so, for that series is just magnificent and to leave it just like that with Marston Moor as end is such a waste, because there must be so much exploring and fighting to do for Innocent Stryker? What do you say , will there be more episodes with Stryker?

Michael Arnold Hi Clemens. Thanks for the message. Firstly, so sorry for not replying to this originally. I haven't had the goodreads app since changing my phone. Probably a couple of years back!!

As for Stryker. Yes, there will definitely be more. I have finished the seventh. It is purely a matter of finding a publisher, which my agent is working on right now. Ending the series was certainly not my decision, and I wish I could do more. It's just a waiting game now.

Many thanks,

Mike

Hi Michael, just wanted to say that I have really enjoyed your books thus far and look forward to you continuing the series. I particularly like the way you weave your characters in with real personalities and events which makes this period really come to life. In the gap between now and your next book, do you have any recommendations for other fiction set in the English Civil War which is historically accurate? Tks

Michael Arnold Hi! Two years later, I finally read this...
So sorry. I have got round to resetting my password, and I intend to visit Goodreads more regularly from now on.
Don't know if you even use this forum any more, but I'll answer the question anyway!
ECW fiction:
Giles Kristian, The Bleeding Land & Brothers' Fury
Maria McCann, As Meat Loves Salt
Nicholas Carter, 'Shadow on the Crown' series, of which there are several books
Katherine Clements, The Crimson Ribbon
Claire Letemendia, The Best of Men

All of these are accurate historically, and excellent reads...

Thanks so much for the message, and sorry again for the ever-so-slightly late reply!
