I have two historical novels free today and tomorrow (21st and 22nd July) - they are also in Kindle Unlimited if you are signed up to that.
They are the stories of two foster-brothers separated from their families at the time of the Napoleonic Wars.

This is to announce the publication of 'Two Edwardian Adventures' (Two Edwardian Adventures), a book consisting of two related novellas set in Edwardian times, mostly in Edinburgh.

‘Adventure at the National Exhibition’ is a tale of old and new illusions, some of which are shattered by the end of the story. Betsy Martin is captivated by the acts at Edinburgh’s Empire Palace of Varieties, but she isn’t so keen on her older sister Kirstie’s friend Mr Hamilton, who is with them. Later, at the National Exhibition of 1908, the girls encounter one of the performers from the variety show again, along with two policemen and a lady from Corstorphine, but they have no idea how adventurous the day will be or how much it will change at least one of their lives.

‘Adventure on the Scotch Express’ was first published in ‘Off the KUF volume 3’, an anthology produced by the UK Kindle Users Forum. It’s a tale of several people with something to hide who share a compartment on the Special Scotch Express between York and Edinburgh in 1909. Suffragette Kirstie Martin has persuaded her brother to put on a disguise to travel with her, but they have no idea that the young artist in the corner isn’t what he seems either. Even the respectable ladies from Morningside and the ticket collector are acting strangely, and the two policemen are at their wits’ end. It isn’t until the suffragette march in Edinburgh the following day that everything is finally sorted out.

Just out this weekend - 'The Lion and Unicorn Quest', a mystery novel set in 1951 in London. Flora and her friend Oliver Quest get involved in the preparations for the Festival of Britain. Their work leads them into the investigation of a murder and related art theft, and puts them in danger from Irish gangsters, an ex-Nazi whom Flora has already encountered in her former life as a British agent, and eventually from quite an unexpected source.

In the depths of a particularly harsh Scottish winter, a jewel robbery takes place, a man disappears and a small town is cut off from the rest of the world. A homeless man and his dog seem to know something about what's going on, but will they get the chance to divulge their information? And why is an ex-soldier lurking in a minor stately home and looking at maps?
These are just some of the events the main characters have to try and make sense of in this quirky mystery novel. Amaryllis, Christopher and a hapless policeman who happens to be on duty over Christmas need to work together on this one.
This is the 5th in the popular Pitkirtly mystery series.

I love living in Scotland and writing about it, but sometimes I feel like a change. Inspired by holidays in the south of France and by a challenge earlier in the year to write an opening paragraph in the style of Mary Stewart, I have written a romantic suspense novel, 'Murder in the Midi.'
Isabelle's summer job in France turns into a nightmare when she sees something she isn't supposed to see, and is accused of something she didn't do. The mysterious Nathan comes to her rescue, and later she meets his friend Josh, a retired war reporter. Having lost all her possessions, she finds herself fighting for her life without knowing who is on her side and who isn't.
Without giving too much away, I can reveal that things get much worse for Isabelle before they get better!

I think this could be a high point so I will post now before the slide starts! - my novel 'Crime in the Community', now a free download on Kindle, has this morning reached #49 in the free charts (also #5 in 'Mystery' and #1 in the very small category 'British Detectives'). I really like seeing the download numbers stack up, and I think this is a huge boost to my visibility.
Thanks to everyone who has previously posted about free downloads, as otherwise I wouldn't have known what was happening.
Does anyone know how long the free ride usually lasts?

Hello,
I suddenly realised I hadn't announced the arrival on Kindle of my quirky mystery novel 'Reunited in Death'.

When Jemima Stevenson helps to organise a Pitkirtly Homecoming day she has no idea that she has invited some of her long-lost cousins into danger.
REUNITED IN DEATH is a cautionary tale for family historians and an entertaining read for others. Don't forget, there are some family occasions you won't want to put in your scrapbook!

Other novels in the series will be available just as soon as I spend some time actually editing and writing them.

Thank you for reading this post.
best wishes,
Sheila (Cecilia Peartree)
