What If?

One week from today, the first Volume of The Glastonbury Chronicles, Uneasy Lies The Head will be released as an audio book.

I have been thinking about this book for awhile now.  It was written at a time when Princess Diana was very much alive and her sons, William and Harry were still in knee-pants.  Hard to envision generations later to the eve of the 1000th anniversary of the Norman Conquest and expect to get it all right.  Names didn't pan out, but still I was on to something.  I must have been, because it seems the government of the UK has done everything in its power to make sure none of this happened.  Laws have been changed.  Stephen couldn't have had an older sister and still have been next in line for the Crown.  Titles could not have been inherited by someone conceived by in vitro fertilisation.  And now...now the whole premise of the book, a UK swallowed up by The European Commonwealth (European Union)  to the point that the Monarchy has been abandoned seems to have resulted in a UK looking toward Brexit...to making sure that scenario cannot happen.

What if?

What if someone got their hands on this book and was determined to see that it could never happen?

Just wondering out loud.

At least they found the tunnel between Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem and Nottingham Castle after the book was published. 

Seems I got something right.

Oh my!  I have just seen the new cover for the audio book version of my "Uneasy Lies The Head", and I am as thrilled with it as I was when I first heard the audio,  What do you think?

My dear friends, I ask your forgiveness for being so lax in using my blog.  The mourning period for my late publisher, Peter Paddon has gone on much longer than I had expected, but now I am back.

And I am back with wonderful news!

I have recently entered into a contract with Skyboat Media to produce my books as audio books, and today I received the advanced copy of "Uneasy Lies The Head".  They tell me it will be available both in disc and downloadable for from Amazon and other retailers, and Audible sometime in March. 

It is one thing to see one's words on paper, and quite another to hear them being read aloud by someone else!  I am beyond excited, and I hope you will be too.

Meanwhile, several other projects are in process, one of which is a set of Tarot cards based upon the books.  The book for them is already complete, with total descriptions of the cards and their meanings, just waiting for an artist to illustrate them.  If you should know of anyone who might be interested, please let me know.

Progress has been made on Volume VII of the Glastonbury Chronicles, though it is still far from complete.  As for Tales of the Dearg-Sidhe, Dubhghall told me he wanted to recount his time with Richard II.  Unfortunately, researching Richard II is like trying to swim in the La Brea Tar Pits.

More later...I hope not too much later.
