Could you survive a year of conflict in Tudor England and unravel the mystery of the Cataclysm? As the destruction of monasteries by Henry V111 leads to uprisings in the north, a monk fleeing from torture learns of worse to come. Dr Nicholas Douglas finds himself transformed, and in York, forging allies and gathering evidence to thwart the Cataclysm of 1541 Now five years since the northern rebellion against the Reformation and the Act of Supremacy, King Henry V111 arrests, tortures and executes ringleaders, and subsequently organises the 1541 Northern Progress. Rebel monk, Brother Bernard, whilst detained in the Tower of London, becomes aware of a conspiracy that would threaten the very fabric of faith in England and it becomes his dying quest to alert his allies in York. As summer arrives, Dr Nicholas Douglas finds himself in York but much transformed. He is determined to lead the cause against the impending Cataclysm and seek out like-minded rebel agents. Undercover as City washerwomen, Elspeth and her sister, Wynnfrith query young local lad, Edward Fawkes, about the Micklegate Mouse not knowing who or what it is. In turn, they decide to recruit Edward’s uncle, The Mayor of York who tasks Silas, a delusional and accident prone adventurer with acquiring further intelligence. As clues, witnesses, documents, codes and designs are uncovered, they deduce that there will be a Cataclysmic event in York. The agents scatter throughout England with those in Lincoln becoming almost consumed by the travelling Court and becoming favourites of Thomas Culpeper, Queen Catherine Howard and the King himself. As an awkward romance develops between Silas and Wynnfrith, and a terminal romance kindles between Queen Catherine Howard and Culpeper, the agents uncover the diabolical deceit and collaborate to thwart it. 1541 is quirky historical fiction, a story of integrity and inclusion for readers who enjoy humour, pathos and mystery combined with engaging and unpredictable characters and is supported by 4 original watercolour paintings by the author. Experience: • the mystery of ancient texts, secret messages, cryptic documents and the cataclysm perpetrators • the dedication and determination of Elspeth, the rebel nun. • the suffering of imprisoned monks. • the conflicts between agents and the perpetrators. • amusement at Silas’s attempts at espionage. • the danger of Queen Catherine’s affair with Culpeper • admiration of Wynn’s attitude to her disability and the cause. • the enigma and humour of the “Micklegate Mouse” • the scale and awe of York Minster • the frustration of Silas’s romance. • the isolation of King Henry • the inner conflict of the Mayor. Note from the author 1541 has been quite a lengthy project partly because the writing, research and illustration that has been undertaken in many locations around England including York, Lincoln, Stratford upon Avon and Northumberland and I would invite readers to seek out

    Weekly

    The WEEKLY DEALS is a weekly digest email sent to readers signed up for the genre of your choice. This mailing uses a different sending engine than the Daily Deal itself, so some readers who miss the Daily Deal for whatever reason (spam filters, timing, vacations...) may get this mailing. (And if they get both, even better! we all know the data about how people often need to see things multiple times before they react...)

    Double the coverage, double the reminders to grab your deal!

    Mailing goes out EARLY on Wednesdays and covers that Wed until the next Wed. So if your deal is on a Tuesday only and you submit it the Monday before - that won't work for the weekly mailing. But if you submit on Monday for a Daily Deal on Tuesday, and your book is on sale Tues-Thurs, for example, then you're good - Daily Deal will go out on Tuesday and you'll be included in the Weekly Deals on Wed. showing the end of your sale on Thursday.

    I personally do one of these with every new book launch --- usually with the first book in my series and the new book on sale. It crushes every time!
