In just six days time, all being well, I’ll be reading from and selling my books (and those of other authors) at Barnet Medieval Festival.
!It’s been three years since my last visit (my very first stall at a battle re-enactment), and I can’t wait! It was a fantastic weekend in 2018, and I’m sure this one will be even bigger and better. After all it’s the 550th anniversary of the Battle of Barnet – and after covid delays, I’m sure everyone will be raring to get going!
Do come along and say hello it you’re there – and maybe pre-order your copy of ‘King in Waiting’ – there will be a copy on hand for inspection and a list for pre-orders
