The first book in the Valerian Trilogy, 'In Valerina' by Yeovil Prize shortlisted finalist and UEA Phd graduate, Sophia Worden, is peopled with characters who time-travel, narrate or dream their way into other lives and eras, or carelessly lose important journals or documents for future friends to find. These characters are an unruly bunch, creating an affinity between the modern, the ancient and the archaic.

Narrated by Silvane, an apprentice to the wizard Herloff, this tale of heroics and foolishness relates a mission to eliminate a renegade witch, Rhavinia. On their way as they gather an unlikely company of heroes, they realise the degree of the complexity of their task. Essentially the future of the kingdom rests on their success or failure and Rhavinia is tougher than anyone dared to dream. As Silvane narrates, we have insights about the world of wizards that is aloof from the ordinary world, and the difficulties that arise when the two worlds cross. All this and more, Silvane relates their exciting encounters and events that constantly dog their progress.

From the author of the #1 Kindle Bestselling Epic Fantasy Detective Strongoak and the Case of the Dead Elf, a new saga begins. This is Camelot Noir. Almost against his will, the Sword-for-Hire known simply as Chaucere, finds himself back in his native land and the burgeoning city of Camelot. It turns out Camelot is now the perfect place for a man of his talents because, when there is nobody else available to help the common folk, Chaucere, and his sword, is always at hand; for a reasonable price. Chaucer becomes involved with machinations surrounding King Arthur's young Queen Guinevere, which brings him to the attention of the formidable Merlin. Forced to become his cat's paw, Chaucere finds, and falls foul of Lord Hudde and his true boss, who has an unexpected secret connection to the King who pulled the Sword from the Stone. But Chaucere has his own secret and he dare not reveal that, not if he wants to save the dream of a Kingdom of Britain.
