With the impending publication of Blood Oath, Book 1 of my soon-to-be-released medieval crime series, the Janna Chronicles, I thought it would be fun to do another ‘meet my character’ blog, having recently taken part in a similar blog tour with Sophie Masson, Serene Conneeley and Jan Latta – see past posts. Who is Janna? She’s…
The Janna Chronicles are set in medieval England in the 1140s, at the time of the civil war between King Stephen and the Empress Matilda. Janna’s search for her unknown father as part of her quest to avenge her mother’s death takes her from forest to farm, abbey, Stonehenge, Sarum (Sarisberie), Oxford, and right into the heart of…
LOVE, LIES, SECRETS, REVENGE – AND MURDER – IN A MEDIEVAL KINGDOM AT WAR! Janna’s search for the truth about her family, and her quest to avenge the death of her mother, will take her from forest to farm, abbey, town and into the heart of the royal court at Winchester by way of the mysterious ruins…
Sophie Masson kindly invited me to take part in the “Meet my Character: book blog tour. I first met Sophie many years ago at Grail Quest, a very successful Arthurian convention, after which the Arthurian Association of Australia was formed. Since then we’ve shared a friendship along with a mutual passion for Arthur and…
It’s been a while since my last blog (but a beaut holiday in Bali intervened!) Lately, I’ve been involved in an online discussion about the changing face of the publishing scene, and how difficult it is for writers to earn a living wage out of their writing. So I thought I’d take this as my…
I am so thrilled, and so honoured to have won the inaugural Di Yerbury writer’s residency presented at the Society of Women Writers literary festival at the NSW State Library on Saturday. Generously donated by Professor Yerbury, the residency will give me three months quiet research and writing time in the historic and beautiful North Devon town of…
I wrote (and published) the Shalott trilogy almost 15 years ago, but the legend of King Arthur and the doom of Camelot stayed with me through the years while I wrote the Janna Mysteries, A Ring Through Time and several other novels. I’d become fascinated with ‘the wicked witch’ and ‘the jealous bitch’ (ie Morgan…
My novel, A Ring Through Time, has been very much on my mind lately, partly because it’s just received a Highly Commended at the Davitt Awards organised by Sisters in Crime Australia, and partly because I’ve only just returned from beautiful Norfolk Island where the novel is set. My sister Gillian (visiting from South Africa)…
Today, for the first time, I’m holding in my hand a paperback copy of I, Morgana and my book has now become ‘real’! And it looks absolutely beautiful! For those of you who prefer a traditional publication, the paperback version of the books can be ordered through Book Depository or Amazon, with more information on the…
Melissa Wray has just posted a new interview (with me) on her blog Dream Big, Read Often. It’s very generous of Melissa to offer me the spot, while answering interview questions is always fun and often quite challenging! Please check it out: http://melissawray.blogspot.com/2014/08/in-conversation-with-felicity-pulman.html. Thanks Melissa!
