Yesterday was a major day in British publishing - at least, as far as I am concerned. Troubador Publishing of Leicester, UK brought out my two latest novels: Who Really Wrote Shakespeare and Two Bullets in Sarajevo.
The Shakespeare book (ebook only for now) is a detective-style novel about how four English university academics set out on a self-imposed quest to see if the works we attribute to the Bard were really written by him. They sift through all the evidence and check out if Marlowe, the Lords of Oxford, Rutland or Derby wrote these works using Shakespeare, a known Elizabethan actor, as a pseudonym.
They also investigate if a woman, maybe even his wife, Anne Hathaway, had a hand, or were Macbeth, Hamlet and Twelfth Night etc. really written by a team of dramatists? Suitably enough, while spending a weekend at Stratford-upon-Avon at the end of their trail, our sleuths do arrive at a conclusion. However, I'm not going to tell you what it is here.
Two Bullets in Sarajevo tells the true story about one of the most important assassinations in history: the assassination of the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo in June 1914. According to many historians, this murderous action was the match that lit the conflagration of the First World War.
Sarajevo however is different from most WW1 novels. It concentrates on the personalities of Gavrilo Princip and his fellow assassins and the reasons why they carried out this dreadful deed. This novel also contains a love story - how the outwardly gruff and forbidding archduke fought against the rigid protocols of the Austrian court for six years in order to marry his beautiful wife-to-be, Sophie.
Both books are available as ebooks and Sarajevo is also in print format. (Troubador Publishing, UK ISBN: 978-1-78589-160-1)
Read and enjoy!
