  Four books by bestselling
historical author George Shipway to be reprinted by CnPosner Books Four historical
novels by the renowned author George Shipway are to be republished later this year:- The Paladin
and The Wolf Time, telling the story of Walter Tirel, supposed killer of King William Rufus Warrior in Bronze and King in Splendour, telling the story of the mythical King Agamemnon of Mycenae These books have been out of print since the 1970s. The Paladin is a bestseller, as are Shipway's other
books Imperial Governor and Knight in Anarchy. Praise for The Paladin;- ‘George Shipway’s progress as an historical novelist has established
him in the enviable position of matching such masters of the genre as Harrison Ainsworth. No sloppy romantic make-believe;
instead, Mr Shipway creates a vivid, definitive adventure story of the period.’ Sunday Telegraph ‘Here
is a rattling good yarn in the form of a historical novel. George Shipway tells the life story of Walter Tirel, the supposed
assassin of William Rufus (William II of England). Does that sound dry and daunting as a subject? It is certainly neither
in this racy, spirited chronicle...he writes in a workable idiom...He tells his tale briskly and the details of life in castle
and countryside are animated and evocative.’ Evening Standard Praise
for Warrior in Bronze:- “A natural writer with superlative powers” Sunday
Express “Splendidly successful…the details are distinct and convincing,
the motivations skilfully developed, the action exciting” Northern Echo “Alongside
the late C. S. Forester as a descriptive writer” Evening Standard The Year of the Horsetails Wins Gold in Dan Poynter's Ebook
awards! The recently reprinted historical novel The Year of the Horsetails by R. F. Tapsell has won gold
in the Dan Poynter's Ebook Awards 2014 in Historical Literature Fiction- Medieval. "Intensely
exciting. An inspiration.” Harry
Sidebottom endorses novel Year of the Horsetails.
Harry Sidebottom, author of the bestselling
Warrior of Rome series, has made the following comment on the recently reprinted novel The Year of the Horsetails.
“Set in an unusual time
and place, The Year of the Horsetails creates an exotic, fully imagined world combined with universal themes. Intensely
exciting. An inspiration.”
He earlier included the following remark in an appendix to Warrior
of Rome: The Wolves of the North:-
"While editing this
novel, I chanced upon a novel I read as a child. Re-reading The Year of the Horsetails by R. F. Tapsell (1967), I
realized where my interest in nomadic warfare began and, with Bardiya - Tapsell’s siege-engineer, outsider hero - something
of the origins of Ballista. Tapsell was a superb historical novelist, and some enterprising publisher should put his works
back in print for a new generation. "

M. J. Smith
 Forever Yours by MJ Smith
Author MJ. Smith's Forever Yours is an engrossing and
sweeping saga of a novel about love, war and bittersweet reunions. Europe is torn apart by World War II and a feisty and beautiful heroine, Liz, answers the call to battle as a pilot in the Royal Air Force. Philip, her childhood friend
and superior in the air force, is in a position of authority to stop
her, but Liz is determined. Before she leaves on a dangerous reconnaissance
mission, the two share a passionate night and Philip proposes, giving her his grandmother's ring. Liz's plane goes down during her mission in enemy territory
while Philip is sent to train with an elite team of paratroopers.
The two discover other loves during their time apart, each thinking
the other is lost forever. Will these two star-crossed lovers find each other or will
a war that has destroyed so much destroy the greatest love each has
ever known? Smith's characters come to life and this perfectly constructed novel captures the mood of war-torn Europe. Smith deftly explores the complex territories of
the heart and the pages of this stunning debut novel are suffused
with humor, resilience, hope and the enduring tale of an unbreakable
bond. MJ. Smith is a writer and works in customer service. Ms. Smith is currently working on her second and third novels and lives in Quebec, Canada.
