Doorways to the Past is on Pre order!


Exciting Tuesday news to share! Our first Ocelot collaborative venture is now available for Pre-order in Kindle across Amazon. 

Of late, I've been busy writing a spin-off short story about one of my Celtic Fervour Series characters named Ruoridh of Garrigill. We meet Ruoridh in Agricola's Bane, Book 4 of  the series, and he pops in again at the end of Beathan The Brigante, Book 5 (coming Aug 20th 2020). 
Ruoridh's story features in Doorways to the Past, a wonderful anthology compiled by four of the Ocelot Press authors - Sue Barnard, Vanesssa Couchman, Cathie Dunn, Jen Wilson - and myself. 
Along with these superb stories - spanning the eras from my writing in Roman Britain to the present day - the collection also includes entertaining interviews with a range of characters from my Ocelot colleagues' novels. 
The anthology takes you on a journey through time, starting in Roman Britain, after which it hops back and forth mainly between Britain and France. The characters featured in both the stories and the interviews range from monarchs to servants, those in power and those who maybe want a bit more of that. You can read and experience their fears, hopes, joys and setbacks because not all in life goes smoothly (nor in fiction!)
Our newest Ocelot to publish with us  - Yvonne Marjot - whose Walking on Wild Air was republished with Ocelot Press in June 2020, has written the foreword. 
In Doorways to the Past, you can have a taste of the past from the comfort of your favourite reading spot. 
Doorways to the Past is available for Pre-order now, on Kindle, till publication on 30th July at 99p/99c. Click HERE(If you Pre-order now, there is nothing to pay till the book pops onto your Kindle or e-reader on publication day.) 


I'll update soon with details of the planned Facebook launch party for Doorways to the past.  Till then, we at Ocelot Press hope you will enjoy it. We've had a lot of fun putting it together. but since I've only been involved in beta reading some of the stories, I'm looking forward to meeting a lot more characters in the interviews as much as I hope you are, too! 
A paperback version will follow in due course, details on that to come later. 
I'll be posting news about more of my author ventures very soon. 

SlĂ inte!
