RT @NathenAmin: On this day in history, Arthur, Prince of Wales, died in Ludlow aged just 15. His death devastated his father Henry VII, who had invested all his hopes of a golden Tudor future in his eldest son.

When LUCIA first came out on Audible there was a mix-up and the epilogue that I'd written was not included. I've finally decided to add that epilogue back in. All editions should now have it, with an updated cover, AND a new endorsement from Dr Jo Ball who you might know! viewbook.at/LUCIA

#2 King of Wessex is a thrilling conclusion to the King Alfred trilogy by @stevenamckay.bsky.social. I've really enjoyed McKay's take on Alfred's struggles as he battles Danish invaders to secure peace in Wessex. Perfect for fans of Uhtred, they more than holds their own against Cornwell's works 📚💙

While this specific book doesn't come up in the next episode of Into the Greenwood, it still makes for a pretty decent teaser for what the episode is going to be about!

Book cover with the title "The Merrie Adventures of Robin Hood and Santa Claus".
The cover illustration depicts Santa Claus in his sleigh with a full moon behind him. Hitched to the sleigh are two startled-looking reindeer. One of the reindeer is looking at a red fletched arrow sticking out of the snow.

Board games are one of my favorite holiday gifts. They're fun and can be shared with others. Episodes 12, 23, and 48 of Into the Greenwood feature interviews with the creators of some truly incredible Robin Hood themed board games. All of which would make great gifts!
