Release Day: Lucky John
It's release day for my grumpy/sunshine story, Lucky John set in 17th-century England on the cusp of the Restoration.
My new story is currently in the 20% off new release sale at JMS Books until July 7th.
Owen Montgomery has been a landless drifter since the Royalist defeat at the Battle of Worcester nine years previously when he was seventeen. Since then, he has lingered abroad as an insignificant follower in the retinue of exiled King Charles.
In the spring of 1660, Owen travels across England as an envoy on behalf of the King. Despite this important diplomatic mission, Owen regards himself as little better than the highwaymen he encounters on the lawless roads.
During a brief stop at an obscure roadside inn, he encounters Lucky John, a bullied skivvy with a sweet nature who makes a lasting impression. When Owen impulsively rescues John from his unkind employer, he has no idea of the impact the lad will make on his lonely existence.
Will Owen reject this chance to open up and share his life? And can Owen be convinced that he deserves John’s love?

Release Day: Lucky in Love
It's release day for my new story, Lucky in Love! This 17k-word novella is the follow-up to my 17th-century Restoration story, Lucky John.
This new story continues the adventures of my grumpy/sunshine couple Owen and John as they visit the decadent court of Charles II.
Lucky in Love is currently in the 20% off new release sale at JMS Books until April 12th.
Sequel to Lucky John
After years of exile during Commonwealth rule following the English Civil Wars, Owen Montgomery is home to stay in his Monmouthshire with John, the rescued kitchen lad who has become the light of Owen’s life.
Owen has enjoyed eighteen months of peace since his tenure as an official envoy on behalf of King Charles II. In the autumn of 1661, Owen is torn from his comfortable life by a summons from his brother, Lewis, a courtier close to the king. Owen is reluctant to take John to London, concerned about the impact of corruption and temptations of court life on such a well-meaning innocent. But how can he refuse John anything?
Owen reluctantly fulfils his duty to his brother while John gets to grips with the palace and its hazards. Can Owen continue to protect John from harm? Or might his constant vigilance stifle the man he loves?
