Run them ashore released in paperback
RUN THEM ASHORE will be released in paperback tomorrow. This is the fifth novel in the series, and sees the characters involved in the war along Spain's Mediterranean coast as the Allies cling on to a small toe-hold of the country. They work with the Navy and with Spanish partisans fighting the guerrilla or 'little war', so see different sides of the war. With the attempt to take Malaga, the siege of Cadiz and the Battle of Barrosa, there is plenty to keep them busy.

Augustus in paperback in UK
The paperback of AUGUSTUS. From Revolutionary to Emperor was released on Thursday so should already be in the shops. It's a nice edition, keeping the colour photographs, and with a handsome 'imperial' purple cover. It has given us a chance to correct the errors on the family tree. However, one typo was not spotted until it was too late and it is an embarrassing one because it is in a famous Cicero quote where a 'd' had been missed out. This should read - laudandum aduluscentum, ornandum, tollendum. Thanks to the person who spotted that one and wrote in.

Whose Business is to die
My latest novel is due for release on the 11th June. Whose Business is to die is the sixth in the series (and not fifth as amazon claims) and is set during the campaign leading to the appallingly costly Battle of Albuera in 1811. By the time of the release, there will be a new page on the website with more detail.
