Tales of Variety. Tales of History, Mystery and Magic \u2013 some comprising just one of these popular fiction genres, others, a mild mixture of all three.\u00a0<\/b>Perhaps you prefer historical fiction rather than a story about magic or fantasy? Maybe you enjoy exploring new themes or prefer sticking to the familiar? Historical fiction can often inform, imparting knowledge of the past, of its events and its people. Stories of mystery exercise the \u2018little grey cells\u2019 as Poirot would say, while fantasy and magic create new worlds and awed wonder.<\/h4>\nWhatever result, this is where anthologies come into their own, and where short stories are often appreciated as enjoyable, entertaining, quick or easy reads shown through the eyes of a variety of extraordinary characters and situations. In this instance: an Anglo-Saxon woman facing the consequence of conquest, the pursuit of alchemy, the concern of a mother for her daughter, the shifting of time, the necessity of hidden identity, souls who will linger as ghosts, a warning from the supernatural, the necessity for (justifiable?) revenge. All mingled with the rekindling of romance through a mutual quest, and the preparations for a Cotswold village celebration. (Along with a good tip if illicitly snaffling cakes.)<\/h4>\nThe binding theme?

ABOUT MARIAN<\/b><\/p>\n
A dual Canadian\/British citizen who divides her year between Ontario, Canada, and Norfolk, UK, Marian published the first of her eight-book Empire\u2019s Legacy<\/i> series, historically-inspired speculative fiction, in 2015. The series is set in a world \u2018on the edge of history\u2019: reminiscent of Britain, Northern Europe, and Rome in the latter centuries of the first millennium, but a world where society evolved differently after the Eastern Empire left; a world where one young fisherwoman answers her leader\u2019s call to defend her country, beginning a journey into uncharted territory.<\/p>\n

Her Sea Witch Voyages<\/i> are nautical-based adventures inspired by the Golden Age of Piracy. She also writes the Jan Christopher <\/i>cosy mystery series set during the 1970s, and based around her, sometimes hilarious, years of working as a North London library assistant. Her 2025 release is Ghost Encounters,<\/i> a book about the ghosts of North Devon.<\/h4>\nHelen and her family moved from London to Devon after a Lottery win on the opening night of the London Olympics, 2012.

Tales of Variety. Tales of History, Mystery and Magic \u2013 some comprising just one of these popular fiction genres, others, a mild mixture of all three.\u00a0<\/b>Perhaps you prefer historical fiction rather than a story about magic or fantasy? Maybe you enjoy exploring new themes or prefer sticking to the familiar? Historical fiction can often inform, imparting knowledge of the past, of its events and its people. Stories of mystery exercise the \u2018little grey cells\u2019 as Poirot would say, while fantasy and magic create new worlds and awed wonder.<\/h4>\nWhatever result, this is where anthologies come into their own, and where short stories are often appreciated as enjoyable, entertaining, quick or easy reads shown through the eyes of a variety of extraordinary characters and situations. In this instance: an Anglo-Saxon woman facing the consequence of conquest, the pursuit of alchemy, the concern of a mother for her daughter, the shifting of time, the necessity of hidden identity, souls who will linger as ghosts, a warning from the supernatural, the necessity for (justifiable?) revenge. All mingled with the rekindling of romance through a mutual quest, and the preparations for a Cotswold village celebration. (Along with a good tip if illicitly snaffling cakes.)<\/h4>\nThe binding theme?

ABOUT MARIAN<\/b><\/p>\n
A dual Canadian\/British citizen who divides her year between Ontario, Canada, and Norfolk, UK, Marian published the first of her eight-book Empire\u2019s Legacy<\/i> series, historically-inspired speculative fiction, in 2015. The series is set in a world \u2018on the edge of history\u2019: reminiscent of Britain, Northern Europe, and Rome in the latter centuries of the first millennium, but a world where society evolved differently after the Eastern Empire left; a world where one young fisherwoman answers her leader\u2019s call to defend her country, beginning a journey into uncharted territory.<\/p>\n

Her Sea Witch Voyages<\/i> are nautical-based adventures inspired by the Golden Age of Piracy. She also writes the Jan Christopher <\/i>cosy mystery series set during the 1970s, and based around her, sometimes hilarious, years of working as a North London library assistant.

ABOUT MARIAN<\/b><\/p>\n
A dual Canadian\/British citizen who divides her year between Ontario, Canada, and Norfolk, UK, Marian published the first of her eight-book Empire\u2019s Legacy<\/i> series, historically-inspired speculative fiction, in 2015. The series is set in a world \u2018on the edge of history\u2019: reminiscent of Britain, Northern Europe, and Rome in the latter centuries of the first millennium, but a world where society evolved differently after the Eastern Empire left; a world where one young fisherwoman answers her leader\u2019s call to defend her country, beginning a journey into uncharted territory.<\/p>\n

Her Sea Witch Voyages<\/i> are nautical-based adventures inspired by the Golden Age of Piracy. She also writes the Jan Christopher <\/i>cosy mystery series set during the 1970s, and based around her, sometimes hilarious, years of working as a North London library assistant.

Does the fate of those who survive linger forever?<\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n
ABOUT HELEN<\/b>
Known for her captivating storytelling and rich attention to historical detail, Helen\u2019s historical fiction, nautical adventure series, cosy mysteries \u2013 and her short stories \u2013 skilfully invite readers to step into worlds where the boundaries between fact and\u00a0 <\/span>fiction blend together. Helen started writing as a teenager, but after discovering a passion for history, was initially published in 1993 in the UK with her Arthurian Pendragon\u2019s Banner Trilogy<\/i> and two Anglo-Saxon novels about the events that led to the 1066 Battle of Hastings, one of which, The Forever Queen<\/i> (USA title \u2013 A Hollow Crown<\/i> in the UK) became a USA Today best-seller. Her Sea Witch Voyages<\/i> are nautical-based adventures inspired by the Golden Age of Piracy. She also writes the Jan Christopher <\/i>cosy mystery series set during the 1970s, and based around her, sometimes hilarious, years of working as a North London library assistant. Her 2025 release is Ghost Encounters,<\/i> a book about the ghosts of North Devon.<\/h4>\n
Helen and her family moved from London to Devon after a Lottery win on the opening night of the London Olympics, 2012. She spends her time glowering at the overgrown garden, fending off the geese, helping with the horses and wishing the friendly, resident ghosts would occasionally help with the housework\u2026<\/h4>\n

THE BLACK ONYX BOX BY R. MARSDEN<\/b><\/h4>\n
The Bluffer\u2019s Guide to Becoming a Famous Alchemist<\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n
ABOUT R. MARSDEN<\/b>
R. Marsden is an author and musician, passionate about the Middle Ages. He plays the gittern, a beautiful medieval stringed instrument, ancestor of the guitar; and a thirteenth century recorder, a replica of one which was excavated from medieval ruins in modern-day Poland. He also plays the piano, and there\u2019s nothing medieval about that!<\/h4>\n
Tales of Castle Rory<\/i> are Medieval Fantasy Adventures, in which the demesne of Lord Rory of Hambrig is brought to life. Set in the latter part of the thirteenth century, these stories have adventure, mystery and magic at their heart. You\u2019ll also find relationships, romance, friendship and the forging and breaking of ties between people and nations.
