Historical Stories of Exile

A collection of short stories – some based on true history, some speculative – by thirteen (non-superstitious) award-winning authors.

With stories by Cryssa Bazos, Anna Belfrage, Elizabeth Chadwick, Cathie Dunn, J.G. Harlond, Helen Hollick, Loretta Livingstone, Amy Maroney, Alison Morton, Charlene Newcomb, Elizabeth St.John, Marian L Thorpe, and Annie Whitehead. And an introduction by Deborah Swift.

My contribution to the anthology is “A King’s Man No More.” Robin du Louviers races to England ahead of the news of King Richard’s death in April 1199. The king’s successor John will be out for blood—Robin’s blood.

Available in print and ebook on Amazon.

Helen Hollick is hosting a blog tour featuring each of the contributors. She starts the tour off with an excerpt from the anthology’s introduction by Deborah Swift.

Charlene Newcomb’s passion for historical fiction and Star Wars led to her writing a bit of both. She has multiple short stories in the Star Wars Adventure Journal, published a space opera Echoes of the Storm, and has written medieval historical fiction short stories and five novels: the Battle Scars trilogy, and Tales of Robin Hood.
