On the Chaise Longue

Many thanks to fellow historical fiction novelist, Vanessa Couchman for letting me hang out on her chaise longue and talk about lots of stuff.

New Bookmuse Recommended Read Award

Bookseller, Peter Snell recently asked the question: could there could be such a thing as a stamp of quality for indie books? My Triskele colleagues and I realised we already offer such a thing: the Bookmuse stamp of approval. 

 

We decided to create an award for books we can honestly recommend, no matter how they are published. 

 

If a book, website or blog carries this badge, one of our team loved it and will tell you why.

 

Bookmuse Recommended Read Award.

Bookmuse recommends great books to discerning readers.
We read and assess submissions, handpick the ones we love and send out a weekly newsletter to our subscribers. We only feature books we can honestly recommend.

Alternative Historical Fiction

Today, on the Triskele Books blog, read my interview with Alison Morton, author of the Roma Nova series: alternate history thrillers set in Roma Nova, a society founded sixteen centuries ago by Roman exiles and ruled by women... thrilling stuff!
