Okay Mr. Selwood, I have officially read all of your fiction and I need more. When is your new novel going to be released and what is it going to be about? I need details, lots and lots of details!

I am so pleased you like the stories. Great timing on your part, too. There will be an announcement soon, as Ava Curzon has now been commissioned as a trilogy. Part two is a whole new adventure, and I am having loads of fun with it! I am also thinking about writing some more of the short ghost stories. Thank you for the lovely review of The Voivod. I am thrilled that even in 2015 people still find an old fashioned ghost story creepy! All best wishes, Dominic (less)

Yes - absolutely! - I would love it if Ava's adventures became a TV series. Who knows. Maybe someone in TV will like the stories! Thank you again for your kind words.

“The Ark disappeared from history’s pages in 597 BC, when the armies of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon razed Jerusalem to the ground in one of the most cataclysmic events ever to befall the Hebrews.” “Babylon?” Prince frowned. “Wasn’t that in Mesopotamia or somewhere near there?” “Mesopotamia is modern Iraq,” Ava confirmed. “Babylon is about fifty miles south of Baghdad.” A silence fell across the table.”
