Lies, secrets, and treachery, it seems, are never forgotten
Welcome to Manningtree…
England 1645
Civil War clutches the country in a merciless embrace. It has been raging, trudging its heavy boots, sweeping the weary country with fear and battle, for nigh on three years.The hearts of men, divided, The Royalists of King Charles I, and Cromwell’s Parliamentarians. Steadfast in their intentions, to retain or gain power, each loyal to their cause, but, in fear and severe hatred of those with other, contentious, ideals.
Yet, in the souls of the lowly countrymen, the humble farmer, the timid maiden, from clerk to clergy, another war rages, fuelled by ignorance. Superstition. It rules with a fierce rod. God-fearing folk seek refuge in pure beliefs, and be damned any who step outside the boundary.
Parliament propaganda whispers in men’s ears – There be evil. Slowly, gradually, gaining momentum ‘til it spreads like wildfire. Weed out the Crown’s servants of Satan. Reap the country bare of its demons. Beelzebub lurks, preying on the weak and needy. Innocent hearts to contaminate, milk to sour, butter to spoil, crops to rot.
However, there is a man. One who wheedles his employment of local parish, town, village and hamlet. One who is trusted, esteemed and feared. He comes, with those in his employ, to watch, gathering evidence and confession. His success speaks of a countryside rife with evil, an intemperate plague of witches, the Devil’s Whores.

The Manningtree Account novella is FREE to download from Amazon Kindle this whole weekend, Friday – Sunday! #welcometomanningtree
“…with beaks as deadly as blades, let them peck eyes from skulls, and tear flesh from bones.”
If it’s a shall I, shan’t I, will I, won’t I… and you’re still pondering whether to buy Daughters of the Oak, what better time to dip your toes and feel the darkness creep, than with a FREE ebook.
The Manningtree Account is the original root from which Daughters grew. It’s a stand-alone novella, but if you then fancy going a little deeper, digging further into the tale, you can purchase the extended, longer version, Daughters of the Oak.
Thank you to everyone who during the festive week pushed my dark novella up into the Top 10 of Historical Thrillers. Admittedly these rating only last a while, and in reality how important is a number?! The true importance is what the reader thinks! Have you read it yet? As a novella, it’s a quick read, perfect for a quiet Sunday afternoon…or night, in the dark!
Maybe you’re ready for Daughters of the Oak? It is NOT a follow-on or sequel but an extended more in-depth edition that digs deeper into the past, dredging up the personal history between witch and finder…and what about Alex! For a few pennies, no more than a cost of a Coffee, you can snuggle down with Daughters of the Oak, Kindle edition this afternoon. Or treat yourself to a stunning paperback book.
If you’re hankering for a different genre or supernatural romance is more your thing, Remember to Love Me could be a surprise gem… beautiful heartwarming moments scattered with plenty of heartaches, loss, betrayal, desperation and death.
If you’ve read any of my books, firstly thank you, and if you could write a few lines of an Amazon or Goodreads review would be more than awesome.
