Triumph and tragedy are two sides of the same coin.
Leon Muller is now the most powerful man in all Wallachia, more powerful than its king and stronger than the man who hired him to win the crown of that kingdom: Prince Vlad Dracula. But pride comes before a fall and as the divided powers of Western Europe prepare to face the might of a ravenous Ottoman Empire, all Leon’s plans and dreams turn to dust and he is forced to walk another path. That path leads to him taking part in a battle that will decide not only the fate of Wallachia and Hungary, but all Western Europe as the sultan’s mighty army prepares to crush its enemies underfoot.
Greatly outnumbered, abandoned by their allies and isolated, Leon and John Hunyadi, Hungary’s greatest warlord, muster their meagre forces to draw a line in the sand, which the sultan’s hordes must not cross. The scene is set for the most decisive battle of the age and the greatest test of Leon’s veteran army, a force that has been forged on the anvil of adversity and has never tasted defeat.
‘Kingmaker’ is the sixth volume in the ‘Alpine Warrior’ series – the story of Swiss soldier Leon Muller in the wars of the 15th Century when Europe was torn apart by civil, religious, dynastic and imperial conflicts. Maps of the Ottoman Empire, Wallachia and the siege of Belgrade are available to view and download on the maps page of my website.

Bale “Shark” Maddox, and the team are deployed to Haiti to the US Embassy in Port-au-Prince as an insurance policy for the protection of the ambassador, his family and the embassy. There’s a new leader, and although the country seems to be stabilizing, he’s convinced anything could set it off. His team is responsible for making sure the ambassador and his family are safe and if need be, evacuated if things get ugly. Shark is introduced to Ambassador Clay Towson, his wife, Kate, and their daughter, Dr. Madeline Towson. She’s there as a seismologist studying the area for research purposes. She’s the most beautiful woman he’s ever met and getting tangled up on an active mission isn’t smart, but the woman is giving him all the signals that she’s interested and he’s having a hard time putting on the brakes. Shark gets edgy once it’s discovered that the president is ill, according to the prime minister who’s barring the ambassador from contact with the president while he recovers.

Maddy is blown away by Shark from the moment she meets him and hijacks the embassy limo by mistake. But she’s always been content to live in her own world and chooses to see everything as a glass half-full. Shark is the exact opposite, but Maddy has never met a man she couldn’t charm, and he’s no different. Before she knows it, he’s the one teaching her not only about relationships, but about herself. Her love life has been a wreck since the last eighteen months and getting involved again just wouldn’t be smart. Except as she gets to know the man, it becomes much more difficult to deny her growing feelings for him. As the danger mounts and her attraction to Shark simmers, it’s not clear what is going to blow first, the situation or the heat between them.

A Jaded Contemporary Romance Novelist Finds Love in 14th Century Ireland in ETERNAL BELOVED, a Historical Time-Travel Romance

--14th Century Ireland--

Bel Lucy might be the wildly successful owner of Bella Publishing, specializing in romances, steamy and sweet, but she doesn’t believe in love. Bel certainly doesn’t believe in love after a wrong turn in the haunted Castle by the Sea lands her in fourteenth-century Ireland where she is forced to endure the company of the musclebound—not to mention poorly groomed—knight, Alaric DeLaMer.

In a time of famine and civil war, Alaric proves to be Bel’s protector while dismissing Bel as a prickly creature who delights in goading him with ridiculous tales. When a duplicitous alchemist sends Bel back to the 21st century, Bel discovers she can never be happy in any time or place—unless its beside Alaric, the complete opposite of Bel’s imagined romance heroes.

Realizing she was happier in the 14th century, Bel risks everything to battle her way back to Alaric but will her eternal beloved be waiting in his Castle by the Sea?

Publisher’s Note: Readers passionate about history will appreciate the author’s penchant for detail and accuracy. In keeping with the era, this story contains scenes of brutality which are true to the time and man’s timeless inhumanity. There are a limited number of sexual scenes with some vulgarity characteristic of the time.

Before I Wake

Eternal Beloved

THE KNIGHTS OF ENGLAND, in series order

The Lion and the Leopard

A Knight There Was

Within A Forest Dark

A Child Upon The Throne

Lords Among the Ruins

The Flames of Rebellion

MEET MARY ELLEN JOHNSON

Her passion for Medieval England sparked Mary Ellen Johnson’s writing career. Her first medieval historical, The Lion and the Leopard, was followed by The Landlord’s Black-Eyed Daughter, a historical novel based on the Alfred Noyes poem, “The Highwayman.” (Published under the pseudonym, Mary Ellen Dennis.) Landlord was chosen as one of the top 100 historical romances of 2013.

After taking a twenty-year detour in a quixotic quest to change the world—rather like Arthurian knights’ quests to find the holy grail, which ended in similar failure—Mary Ellen has happily returned to historical fiction writing and her favorite time period, the tumultuous fourteenth century. Her six-book series, Knights of England, follows the fortunes of the characters (and their progeny) introduced in The Lion and the Leopard through the Black Death, the reign of that most gloriously medieval of monarchs, Edward III, the 1381 Peasants’ Revolt, and ends with the deposition and murder of Richard II in 1399.

There is nothing Mary Ellen loves more than bringing Medieval England alive for the reader. She particularly enjoys researching battles, campaigns, the daily lives of both lord and peasant, and trying to figure out our ancestors’ thought processes, particularly how they viewed their world. Oh, and did she mention the castles and cathedrals? Mary Ellen likes to say her favorite place in the world is standing before the tomb of the Black Prince in Canterbury Cathedral. (Hyperbole, of course, since Mary Ellen is not that well-traveled and her favorite places are probably wherever her kids and grandkids reside.)

‘Luca Baldi is an illiterate peasant, a scrawny wretch who has a seditious streak and who under normal circumstances would have been hanged or burnt at the stake long ago. However, fate, or God, has seen fit to smile on his miserable existence.’
And not only on Luca Baldi. After their stunning victory over the Romans, the Catalan mercenaries have become kings in the land of the enemy. Luca and his friends are enjoying the spoils of victory and basking in their new-found status. But dark clouds are gathering on the horizon and soon Luca, and the Catalan Company, will be sucked into the maelstrom of power politics. Old enemies with grievances to settle will target Luca himself and the Catalans will come up against a new foe – the daunting Empress Irene.
Fresh battles beckon for Luca, the Almogavars and the Catalan Company in ‘The Golden Lion’, the third volume in the Catalan Chronicles, the saga of a mercenary band that brought the Byzantine Empire to its knees at the beginning of the fourteenth century.
