Having spent a considerable time travelling at the start of this year Ray is now once again able to concentrate on his writing.

He has worked tirelessly on a fictionalized account of that epic year from British history… 1066! His book 1066 Year of the Five Kings is his latest novel and was published earlier this month.

Following on from his latest Study Guide which includes the text of a selection of Robert Frost poems, he is currently working on A.E. Houseman‘s poems in A Shropshire Lad as well as another set of stories about Reverend Lyle Thorne before he became the vicar at Sanditon. Hopefully this eighth volume of Rev Thorne’s stories may be ready for Christmas.
