The Glass Dagger – Revised 3rd edition

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

To compliment the new second adventure, I have produced a revised version of The Glass Dagger.  There were a number of reasons for this.  Firstly, as a result of events in the second book, it was necessary to make some changes.  I have previously mentioned that the book had been critiqued by Martyn Bedford.  As a result of his suggestions, I made a number of changes that involved major changes to several chapters.  Because of this, it was necessary to bring the book out under a new ISBN number.  For technical reasons I have also increased the size of both books.

I hope that readers will find them easier to read as a result. One important benefit from this is that the books have now been approved by Waterstones and I hope that readers will go along and buy from them.

The Crystal Ship

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

Phew, at long last the second adventure of the Glassmaker Series is in print.  The Crystal Ship was launched on 15th September and sales are going quite briskly.   Many of the people who bought The Glass Dagger have fortunately liked wthe book and have been pestering for the second.

The format is similar except in one aspect.  While Jacob Bell at al are still thill involved, the plot against the Queen, the Ridolfi plot, was an actual historic event.  I have kept as closely as possible to the real events that took place in 1572, but have woven my fictional hero into them.  To avoid confusion, i have listed the real hyistorical characters.  All other characters are products of my imagination, as are the scenes between them and the real persons.  It certainly proved to be more complicated, but hopefully my readers will feel the effort was worthwhile.
