Life of a 17th Century Prostitute
Rudyard Kipling first coined the phrase ‘the world’s oldest profession’ in his short story, On the City Wall (1898). The tale opens with the immortal line, “Lalun is a member of the most ancient profession in the world”. Since then, the expression has fallen into common parlance as historical truth.

"I am not too fond of the cover as it appears to be AI art and that's off putting majorly. The story itself is interesting though and that's suffices for carrying through the core of what matters. I'd recommend the author cease using AI art for covers"

“Five years ago, I set about writing a different kind of book. A book that I felt wasn't available, a book that I wanted to read. An honest story that pulled no punches about the lives of people living on the moors of Yorkshire in the 16 and 17th centuries. These people were my ancestors and probably yours, the poor peasants lost to time but now found.”

“Modern writers usually don't know what it was like to live in the past, but Rushworth-Brown has done this with great skill in this accomplished, atmospheric and thoughtful novel.” — US National Times”

“But a novel, different from a history book recounts factual touch points of the past, tells a story and does so through character. What does this character think and feel? Now we are in the realm of fiction—historical fiction.”
