Thank God it wasn't a red cloak and a small child....

January is #writing month! #TowerofWolves, the sequel to #TowerofVengenace, continues the story of Maude de Mandeville and her revenge on the family who took her life. In the Tower alehouse, the Lund family are still dealing with a secret of their own. There are also #ravens.

1215: In the #TowerofLondon, Maude de Mandeville lies dying, poisoned by an egg for rejecting King John's advances. As Death awaits her, a choice is offered her - an eternity in purgatory or vengeance as a ghost. What would you choose? #Gothic #Haunted #Ghost #HistoricalFiction

#TheAnnaPuzzle is out today and I can't recommend this enough! Set across two interconnecting timelines of the Cold War and the present day, Justine Gilbert cleverly weaves this gripping tale of #espionage and #politics into what is ultimately a love story. #Romance #DualTimeline
