We have arranged another 'Meet the Authors' session, this time at Morrisons Sidcup on Tuesday 14th May 2019, from 10.30 am to 5 pm. Come and meet us, and find out how we work together and do our research, and take the opportunity to have your books signed by us both.

Revenge: Blood Runs Deep is a fast moving and intriguing story, full of twists and turns - whether you are into history or not we know you won't be disappointed.

We hope to see you there - you will find us somewhere near the cafe.
