The blog has been having a pretty long holiday, some might say a mid-life crisis. Partly this is down to pressure of writing life, and partly to laziness. But it's back; there will be regular new posts. More importantly I have a new book out in October -
Accursed Tower - the story of the crusaders' last stand in the Holy Land. A tale of giant catapults and the desperate defence of the city of Acre on the shores of Palestine - the Alamo of the crusades. If you've been watching
Knightfall on Netflix, this is the true story!
Here are the the covers for the UK and US editions.
