If you are interested in the Battle of Chippenham, you might enjoy The Keys of Hell and Death. This English Civil War novel includes an account of the battle. Publication day will be 4 June 2024. Historical notes on the battle will also be on this website shortly after the launch.

In the meantime, you might also enjoy God’s Vindictive Wrath, the first in the Divided Kingdom series. If you do, there is a free ebook short story available to download from this website. Desecration sits between the two novels and is set during the Storming of Winchester in December 1642. I hope you enjoy them all.
