The United Kingdom today includes Scotland, Wales and Britain, but it took centuries and blood to unite […]

It seems I have shot myself in the foot again. It only seems that way, because I’ve been bitten by time. You’d think, given my time-travel novels, I’d know better. However. In April 2016 I released a post, “By Any Other Name…? No, I Don’t Think So”, where I confessed my shock and surprise at
844 years ago today, in 1174, Baldwin IV became King of Jerusalem. He was only thirteen years old and a regent, the Count of Tripoli, controlled the kingdom for two years before Baldwin reached his majority.

So, did you hear David Bowie in your mind when you read the subject line? <wicked grin> I’ve just emerged from one of the toughest weeks I’ve had this year, work-wise. I let go of my old off-site shopping service, and added self-hosted shopping cart software that is far more flexible and user friendly. It
This post, just like “Why Time Travel Romances Wouldn’t Work Outside Romance Novels“, first appeared on a blog now long gone, as part of the book launch tour for the vampire time travel romance novel, Bannockburn Binding. -t.

It’s a murky picture, because the men in the photo are actually throwing their spears at the picture-taker…and they’re not actors. This is North Sentinal Island, a remote island in the Bay of Bengal off India. The residents of the island live a completely isolated hunter-gatherer lifestyle and have done so for what an

This post first appeared on a blog site long gone, in 2011, when I first released Bannockburn Binding. I’ve reproduced it here because it’s a good discussion about time travel (which I am so happy to be back into writing!!) -t. Time Travel romances are a particular favourite of mine. I got hooked on the idea
