About the Books
The Graham Saga


She fell through time. He found her. Nothing would ever be the same

Alex Lind has the misfortune to fall through time, landing at the feet of Matthew Graham. It is 1658, Oliver Cromwell is ailing and in the wings Charles Stuart is preparing to reclaim his kingdom and avenge his father, the executed Charles I.

None of that is relevant to Alex, who struggles with the day-to-day of a new time—and adapting to having a new, protective, if very old-fashioned, man in her life. 

But Matthew comes with baggage—among other things his firm Parliamentarian convictions—which is why Alex will not only have to navigate a new time. Soon enough, she and Matthew have to cope with the challenges of life in a new land. With a new land and a new time come both new friends and, unfortunately, many new enemies. Alex is in for an excessively exciting life wit her Matthew!

Anna has authored the acclaimed time travelling series The Graham Saga, set in 17th century Scotland and Maryland, as well as the equally acclaimed medieval series The King’s Greatest Enemy which is set in 14th century England. Anna has just released the final instalment, Their Castilian Orphan,  in her other medieval series, The Castilian Saga,which is set against the conquest of Wales. She has also recently released Times of Turmoil, a sequel to her time travel romance, The Whirlpools of Time, and is now considering just how to wiggle out of setting the next book in that series in Peter the Great’s Russia without having her characters go on strike . . .

All of Anna’s books have been awarded the IndieBRAG Medallion, she has several Historical Novel Society Editor’s Choices, and one of her books won the HNS Indie Award in 2015. She is also the proud recipient of various Reader’s Favorite medals as well as having won various Gold, Silver and Bronze Coffee Pot Book Club awards.

“A master storyteller” “This is what all historical fiction should be like. Superb.”

Johanna Wittenberg
Author of The Norsewomen Series



Based on the life of a real Norse queen who ruled alone at the dawn of the Viking Age.

Ninth-century Norway, the dawn of the Viking age--a land shattered into thirty warring kingdoms. A woman could seize power, if she was bold enough.

Daughter of a Norse king, fifteen-year-old Åsa dreams of becoming a shield-maiden. When she spurns a powerful warlord, he rains hellfire on her family, slaughtering her father and brother and taking her captive.

To protect her people, Åsa must wed her father's killer. To take vengeance, she must become his queen.

About the book
The Silken Knot
by Liz Harris

Dinan, 1947
Out of options, Iris Hammond makes the difficult decision to marry Pierre Rousseau, a man she’d never met until they stood together in front of the priest. Pierre, too, has his reasons for marrying Iris, a woman he doesn’t know.

Taken by Pierre from Jersey to his close-knit community in Brittany, France, Iris faces him at the end of the first day of a marriage she hadn’t wanted, and determines that, nevertheless, she will make their marriage a success.

Unsuspected by either Iris or Pierre, Marcel Pascal, the brother of Pierre’s late wife, and Elodie Vidal, Pierre’s shop assistant, each have a hidden agenda for wanting to destroy Pierre’s marriage as soon as they possibly can, and to see him alone and unhappy.

With Iris and Pierre completely unaware of the underhand scheming by people they think of as friends, Marcel and Elodie’s cruel plans stand a very good chance of bearing fruit.

About the book
Book 1 of 4: Mac's series

In the male dominated world of the Raj, female infirmity was treated with disdain. Only a woman of substance could bring about change. Mac was feisty, courageous, accomplished, audacious, doggedly determined and single. Everything a woman was not expected to be in 1930.

Her chosen career was medicine, her speciality obstetrics, her goal, to medically improve the plight of India's women whatever their religion, culture or status. It was a very noble cause, but first, Mac had to get there. 'Join the Fishing Fleet, dear,' suggested her aunt. An adventure in itself.

In Calcutta, a united front of pompous, misogynistic men of the India Medical Service stood ready to block her progress. Reducing female and infant mortality in an already over-populated continent seemed, to them, both illogical and absurd. As was, heaven forfend, inviting a female medic into their ranks, no matter how well qualified.

Dr Elizabeth Stuart-MacKenzie was young and on a mission. Such out-dated opinions were irrelevant. Nothing was going to stand in her way. Not even sex! 

Join Mac as she boards a P&O passenger-liner on route to Bombay.

Gareth Williams


Rescuing Richard is a breathless quest that sweeps the reader from the blood-soaked battlefields of Zululand to the corridors of power in Regency London.

Richard is astonished when Shaka appoints him to his inner council, where he views for influence with his friend, Napoleon Bonaparte. Drawn to a feisty, intelligent young Zulu woman, Richard wrestles his conscience while confronting betrayal and colonial adventurers exploiting the land he is sworn to protect. 

Having helped equip the Zulu army with artillery, he is sent as ambassador to the court of King George, where he defends Zulu interests while trying to help an old acquaintance escape an abusive relationship.
