TWO MORE E-BOOKS....
The Highclough Lady is now out as an e-book with Regency Reads.

This is an extra-special book because I set in the beautiful area of West Yorkshire where I now live.

The Belles Dames Club is out now as an e-book, and it is the perfect tonic for these stormy winter days. Click here for more details...

CASTING SAMSON - I describe it as The Vicar of Dibley meets Ivanhoe!  It is part English village (picturesque cottages and quaint people) and part Crusaders with a love story or three intertwined!

Finding your boyfriend in the shower with another woman isn't high on Deborah Kemerton's "best birthday presents ever" list. Her life in London shattered, she retreats to her sleepy hometown to heal her broken heart. There, she's quickly swept up in planning a pageant  to celebrate the 700th anniversary of the village church. Tasked with casting the perfect Samson, Deborah may have found her man in Josh Lancaster, onstage and off....

Fellow committee member Anne Lindsay is convinced a 12th-century crusader is buried under St John's. As the story goes, Hugo left for the Holy Land after his true love Maude was given in marriage to his brother.  Professor Toby Duggan is equally convinced Anne is wrong, and determined to prove it. Neither of them counts on their mutual passion for history turning into a passion for each other.

when romantic entanglements and small-town dramatics come to a head, local legend proves to be mroe than just a story...

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.....

"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. "

In January 2009 I joined 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  

I have three of my historical romances already published as e-books with Regency Reads, now MAID OF HONOUR and THE BARGAIN have joined the list!
