Scotland

Cailean MacDubhgaill, a knight from a small island, fighting for the Scottish cause, is wounded in the battle at Falkirk. Sir Eoín de Moray helps him escape the carnage and takes him into a nearby forest but is killed whilst fighting off pursuers.

Once Cailean has recovered from his injuries, he rushes north to the shores of Loch Ness to give the news to de Moray’s daughter, Isobel. But he arrives too late. The manor is burnt down, its people displaced – and Isobel abducted. Determined to honour the man who had saved his life, Cailean tracks Isobel down.

Finding herself taken away from her home by force, Isobel de Moray ponders her fate when a nighttime raid on the mercenary camp sees her freed – only to fall into the hands of a strong-minded knight. The stranger takes her to safety at his keep on the remote island of Eorsa where they await word from the guardians.

Tired of waiting, Isobel flees Eorsa, seeking help from powerful relatives, but is she really going to get the welcome she expects?

And will Cailean be able to overcome his doubts and focus on further campaigns in Scotland’s Wars of Independence?

Page Length: 550 Pages

Genre: Historical Military Fiction

October 1793

The French border.Dunkirk was a disaster for the Duke of York’s army. The French, sensing victory before the winter, launch attacks along the length of the border. Menen is captured and the French now hold the whip hand. Nieuport and Ostend are threatened, and Sebastian Krombach finds himself involved in a desperate plan to stop the Black Lions as they spearhead the French advance. Werner Brandt and the men of 2nd Battalion race to Menen to counterattack and rescue Erich von Bomm and the 1st Grenadiers, whilst von Bomm struggles to save himself from his infatuation with a mysterious French vivandière. Meanwhile, dark and brooding, the citadel of Lille dominates the border. The Queen of the Citadels has never been captured by force. The allies must now keep Menen, which guards Flanders, and seize Lille to open the road to Paris. All of this must be done under the watchful eyes of a spy in the Austrian camp. Juliette of Marboré is fighting her own secret war to free Julian Beauvais, languishing in the Conciergerie prison, and waiting for his appointment with the guillotine, as the Terror rages in Paris.

The King’s Germans is a project that has been many years in the making. Currently I manage to juggle writing and research around a crowded work and family life. The Black Lions of Flanders (set in 1793) is the first in the King’s Germans’ series, which will follow an array of characters through to the final book in Waterloo. The King of Dunkirk will soon be released and I hope that the response to that is as encouraging as the reviews of Black Lions have been.

While I’m self-published now, I have an excellent support team that help me to produce what I hope is a story with professional feel, and that readers would want to read more than once. My family back-ground is in paperback book sales, so I’m very keen to ensure that the paperback design is something that I would be proud to put on my bookshelf.

I live in just outside of Tavistock, in Devon where I enjoy walking on the moors and the occasional horse-riding excursion as both inspiration and relaxation.

The King of Dunkirk The King’s Germans Book #2 by Dominic Fielder

 The King of Dunkirk
The King’s Germans Book #2
By Dominic Fielder

Publication Date: 24th February 2024

Publisher: Dominic Fielder

Page Length: 507 Pages

Genre: Historical Fiction

As quickly as they had come, the Foot Guards had gone.

Krombach turned to salvage his musket and back-pack when he saw Sergeant-Major Winckler looking most agitated. Behind him twenty or more guardsmen, the personal staff of the Duke of York’s headquarters were tumbling out of the building, followed by a junior officer, in the process of trying to clip a sword belt around his waist while trying not to trip down the small series of steps that led from the chateau.

“Every man you can find, Sergeant-Major!” the officer whined.

Krombach looked to see the Winckler blow out his cheeks in mild disbelief.

“Grab your musket, Krombach. General Lake’s orders: every man, including you!” Winckler paced past. “...And me…What a bloody waste this could be!”

May 1793: The French border.

Valenciennes, Paris then home! Every common soldier knows the popular refrain so why can’t the commanders see sense? The protracted siege of Valenciennes exposes the mistrust between the allies. National interests triumph over military logic. The King’s Germans find themselves marching north to the coast, not east to Paris. Dunkirk has become a royal prize, an open secret smuggled to the French, who set a trap for the Duke of York’s army. Lieutenant Erich von Bomm and Captain Werner Brandt find themselves in the thick of the action as the 14th Nationals, the Black Lions, seek their revenge. In the chaos of battle, Sebastian Krombach, working alongside Major Trevethan, the engineer tasked with capturing Dunkirk, must make a dreadful choice: to guide a battalion of Foot Guards to safety across the Great Moor or carry a message that might save the life of a friend. The King’s Germans and the Black Lions do battle to determine who shall be crowned the King of Dunkirk.

Murder on Oak Street (A South Shore Mystery Book 1) by I. M. Foster

Murder on Oak Street 
(A South Shore Mystery Book 1)
By I. M. Foster

Publication Date: 31st October 2022

Publisher: I. M. Foster

Page Length: 503 Pages

Genre: Historical Fiction / Historical Mysteries

New York, 1904. After two years as a coroner’s physician for the city of New York, Daniel O'Halleran is more frustrated than ever. What’s the point when the authorities consistently brush aside his findings for the sake of expediency? So when his fiancée leaves him standing at the altar on their wedding day, he takes it as a sign that it's time to move on and eagerly accepts an offer to assist the local coroner in the small Long Island village of Patchogue.

Though the coroner advises him life on Long Island is far more subdued than that of the city, Daniel hasn’t been there a month when the pretty librarian, Kathleen Brissedon, asks him to look into a two-year-old murder case that took place in the city. Oddly enough, the case she’s referring to was the first one he ever worked on, and the verdict never sat right with him.

Eager for the chance to investigate it anew, Daniel agrees to look into it in his spare time, but when a fresh murder occurs in his own backyard, he can’t shake his gut feeling that the two cases are connected. Can he discover the link before another life is taken, or will murder shake the peaceful South Shore village once again?

The Black Lions of Flanders (The King's Germans Book #1) by Dominic Fielder

The Black Lions of Flanders
 (The King's Germans Book #1)
By Dominic Fielder

Publication Date: 13th October 2018
Publisher: Dominic Fielder
Page Length: 549 Pages

The new series for readers who enjoy Sharpe, Flashman or The Three Musketeers - discover the first book in the King's Germans series which will take you from 1793 and the war in Flanders, to the Field of Waterloo in 1815.

Before the words had left Brandt’s lips, the French soldiers had begun to turn and flee, some had thrown away weapons in the hope of mitigating what was to follow.

“Fire!”

The volley crashed out. Krombach was blinded by stinging white smoke and when his eyes cleared the narrow road contained only the dead and the dying.

The enemy had fled.

“Brandt’s Company...follow me!”

February 1793

Private Sebastian Krombach joined the army to escape the boredom of life in his father’s fishing fleet; Captain Werner Brandt yearned to leave his post and retire into civilised society; and Lieutenant Erich von Bomm wanted nothing more than to survive his latest escapade that had provoked another duel.

Each man is a King’s German; when they are called to war, their lives will become inextricably linked.

The ranks of 2nd Battalion are an unhappy home. While Brandt struggles to turn his new company into a coherent fighting force, Krombach quickly learns that, in order to survive in Brandt’s Company, each redcoat must choose allegiance to one of its fierce factions. And when von Bomm, newly promoted to the 1st Grenadiers, finds himself part of a command outnumbered and facing annihilation, it is the untested redcoats of 2nd Battalion who must race to the rescue.

But the French have seized the initiative, and in the white-hot furnace of Rumes the Black Lions of Flanders hunt the King’s Germans, determined to defend the revolution and destroy their enemy before they can ever reach French soil.

Blood and Destiny (The Shadow of the Raven #1) by Chris Bishop

 Blood and Destiny
(The Shadow of the Raven #1)
By Chris Bishop

It is 878 and Wessex stands alone against Guthrum's Viking hordes as all England cowers beneath their raven banner.

With most of his army destroyed following a surprise attack at Chippenham, Alfred King of Wessex, retreats to the desolate marshes at Athelney. Whilst few believe he can ever restore the kingdom, he remains determined – no matter the cost.

Among the small band of weary survivors is Matthew, a novice monk who must learn to fight like a warrior if he, along with his brother and fellow Saxons, are to have any chance of defeating the Vikings. As the impending battle looms, Matthew is charged with a vital role that means he must face danger and betrayal, and undertake a hazardous journey during which his faith will face the ultimate test.
