PAGES AGO - Northwest Libraries are promoting historical fiction and non-fiction this summer! On 18th May I attended the Pages Ago launch at the Bluecoat Arts Centre in Liverpool. Guest speakers taking part in a panel discussion chaired by Dr Jerome de Groot (Lecturer in English and American Studies at Manchester University) were writer Sarah Dunant, Egyptologist Dr Joyce Tyldesley and Juliet Gardiner, former Review Editor of History Today.
It was a lively discussion, with each of the panellists displaying a real passion for the past. Sarah Dunnant's highly acclaimed novels are very well researched and she wants her books to be plausible, understandable to the modern reader yet she tries very hard to get into the heart and mind of her characters and create a whole world.
To tempt readers to try historical fiction or factual books, the libraries are "pairing" novels and factual history books - an "if you like that then you'll like this" approach. Sounds fascinating and can't wait to take part in the readers' day in Manchester later this year.

I am delighted to tell you that MOONSHADOWS is now out in Paperback as well as in e-format.
Moonshadows is a Melinda Hammond story with a difference: a Georgian romance overlaid with a modern day love story, and a hint of the paranormal thrown in! Click on the picture for more information and to read an extract.....
"Warning: This book contains two love triangles, passion that persists beyond the grave and dashing heroes who may haunt your dreams"
"Melinda Hammond’s MOONSHADOWS is a lingering dual-time love story, suffused with such a perfect blend of history, paranormal, and romance that lovers of all genres will be intensely satiated. "

I have recently completed a trip to Corunna, to honour the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Corunna and the death of Sir John Moore. The tour ended at Corunna where there was a colourful and noisy re-enactment in the town! It was a fascinating journey with lots of useful information for future books! You can read about it on my Sarah Mallory website at www.sarahmallory.com
