Welcome to my website, and special greetings to everyone who's found their way here because of Poisoned Pen Press's Web Convention. If you took part in this, the first mystery convention on the Internet, I hope you enjoyed it - I certainly did. If you didn't make it on Webcon Day, pretty well all the events and presentations are archived and you can play them or download them free, so head over to www.ppwebcon.com.
Now from the cyber-technology of the present and future, to the ancient past. I've
written three books (so far) in the Aurelia Marcella series: GET OUT OR DIE,
A BITTER CHILL, and the latest of them, BURIED TOO DEEP. They tell of life and death in first-century Roman Britain,
the turbulent province of Britannia, on the very edge of the Roman Empire. You don't have to have read either of the earlier books to enjoy the newest story, though of
course I rather hope you have, or you will!
In the latest mystery, innkeeper Aurelia has to travel to the wold country which lies between her mansio on the road to York, and the North Sea coast to the east. She is
trying to discover the cause of vicious feuding between Roman settlers and native farmers which is endangering her sister's family.
She and her sister are Romans, but have always tried to live in peace with their neighbours, and are anxious not to take sides in the
quarrel. They must also help their brother salvage a valuable government cargo which has been shipwrecked, and this brings them into conflict with outlawed sea-raiders too. Then
their family face shocking revelations of past secrets which throw sinister shadows into the present.

All three
Aurelia Marcella books are now out in paperback, and they are available to order from bookshops in the UK as well as in the USA. Of course you can still buy them from Internet bookstores like
Amazon, or order signed copies from
me through this website. There are large print editions,
braille editions, and MP3 audio versions
which are beautifully read by Jacqueline King.
