Kindle re-release!

The second edition of my book 'Escape & Betrayal' is now available on Kindle.
Paperback coming soon...

The second of my Athlandia stories:
Bryony is once more trapped in Kynbury Castle, a captive of her cousin Unwin, King of Athlandia.

When Unwin finally reveals his startling plans for her, Bryony is shocked and knows she must escape. An unexpected ally comes to her rescue but, even back amidst the security of her friends and family, Bryony discovers she is still not safe from the scheming of the King… And not everybody can be trusted…

Inspiring author

Having just read her book 'Fever: a Story from a Devon Churchyard', I was delighted to meet Liz Shakespeare at the North Devon County Show. Her diligent research and her ability to bring to life real people now long past is inspiring.
I look forward to read the books I bought from her.

Fever: A Story from a Devon Churchyard
The Postman Poet
The Poems of Edward Capern: Selected by Liz Shakespeare

Re Release!

I'm excited to be launching a 2nd edition of 'Blood & Allegiance' (the rest of my Athlandia Series to follow...)

The story is the same but it has small additions, chapter heading illustrations, some improved writing. I am, after all, older and, possibly, wiser!

It's available both in paperback and on Kindle.

I am looking forward to selling in person at a pannier market somewhere in Devon soon...

NEW BOOK: Painted Blind

I'm so excited that my first adult novel - a romance set in an alternate medieval world - is due to be released on Tuesday. If you can't wait, it's already available on Kindle!

Nell didn’t like how other people saw her – or rather the crown upon her head. What if she changed her identity? She could be rid of her responsibilities and all the expectations pushed upon her, temporarily at least. She didn’t consider how she might develop strong feelings for those around her, her new friends. And what if she fell in love…

And what if someone else had developed deadly plans of their own…
