Elizabethan London

Elizabethan London
Tyburn was an infamous execution spot west of London, used since medieval times. The Tyburn "tree" - a unique, multi-person gallows - erected in 1571 became a popular public spectacle, drawing crowds of thousands.Tyburn Tree blog is less blood-thirsty but hopefully topical, interesting and informative, if slightly bent to my personal topics of interest - books, writing, history, technology, with a smattering of politics and dash of pop culture, science and the downright strange. So "take a ride to Tyburn" and see what happens...

Just a quick update:

You can now hear The Jesuit Letter, brilliantly narrated by James Young, in all its swashbuckling, Elizabethan, back-alley, ale-soaked glory, on #Audible, #Amazon & #Apple iTunes!

Yes, now it's on iTunes as well!

Damn. I'm kind of letting that sink in for a moment. I now have an audiobook on iTunes. Who would have thought?

Go have a listen!

Cat Claims

My beta reader copies of #ThievesCastle, my second book, have arrived!

One day perhaps, I can reclaim them from the cat.
