Tales from the Sergeant's Pack - Out Now! #charityanthology

Writing used to be such a lonely business but the joy of the internet is that writers can now form their own communities across the miles and when M.J.Logue asked me to participate in a charity anthology, I was both pleased and honoured to be asked.

TALES FROM THE SERGEANT'S PACK is now available on Amazon. 

I didn't know Peter 'Tiny' Castle (aka Sergeant Cullis) but he was an enthusiastic Napoleonic era re-enactor who loved a good wine and a good story. He died too young and this anthology is dedicated to his memory.

But more than that, having friends who work in the palliative care area I know how important and precious the care of the dying is and I am enormously proud to know that the proceeds from the sale of TALES FROM THE SERGEANT'S PACK will be going to support the work of St. Luke's Hospice in Plymouth.

The anthology comprises eight never before published short stories set in the era of the Napoleonic wars... some historical fiction and some historical romance, but all touching on this period of history that Tiny loved so much. 

And my contribution... a bitter sweet story of love rediscovered on the eve of Napoleon's escape from Elba!

A Person of No Consequence

 February 1815:  Fabien, Comte de Mont Clair, once a highly decorated officer of the exiled Napoleon, cuts a dashing swathe through a London society ball, his eyes only for the glittering ladies of the 'ton'. His heart jolts at the sight of a woman sitting in a shadowed corner. Not just any woman, but one he would have once given the world for.
​
For Hannah,  Lady Trevan, catering to the spoiled darlings of the ton as a humble chaperone is nothing compared to the pain she suffered at the hands of her late husband.  Alone and impoverished, she is a person of no consequence but once, a long time ago, she sacrificed her world for the dashing Comte de Mont Clair. Now all she can do is hope that he may glance her way…
