On Monday, two new works of historical fiction by members of the Macaronis will be available for your perusal…
Eleventh Hour by Elin Gregory
Borrowed from the Secret Intelligence Service cipher department to assist Briers Allerdale – a field agent returning to 1920s London with news of a dangerous anarchist plot – Miles Siward moves into a ‘couples only’ boarding house, posing as Allerdale’s ‘wife’. Miles relishes the opportunity to allow his alter ego, Millie, to spread her wings but if Miles wants the other agent’s respect he can never betray how much he enjoys being Millie nor how attractive he finds Allerdale.
Pursuing a ruthless enemy who wants to throw Europe back into the horrors of the Great War, Briers and Miles are helped and hindered by nosy landladies, water board officials, suave gentlemen representing foreign powers and their own increasing attraction to each other.
Will they catch their quarry? Will they find love? Could they hope for both?
The clock is ticking.

Under Leaden Skies by Sandra Lindsey
Love. Loss. Betrayal. Forgiveness. Honour. Duty. Family.
In 1939, the arrival of war prompted ‘Teddy’ Maximilian Garston to confess his love to his childhood friend, Huw Roberts. Separated by duty – Teddy piloting Sunderland flying boats for RAF Coastal Command, and Huw deep underground in a South Wales coal mine – their relationship is frustrated by secrecy, distance, and the stress of war that tears into every aspect of their lives.
After endless months of dull patrols, a chance encounter over the Bay of Biscay will forever change the course of Teddy’s life. On returning to Britain, how will he face the consequences of choices made when far from home? Can he find a way to provide for everyone he loves, and build a family from the ashes of wartime grief?

I realised today I’ve not actually ordered Elin’s book yet! I’ve been looking forward to it appearing on Monday & everything… *headdesk*

Love the covers! Are both coming out in print, and if so will we be able to buy copies at the UK Meet?

Hi Stevie!
Both are ebook only at the moment. I think Elin has plans to release a print version, I’m a little behind in my organisation, being more of a newbie to publishing 🙂
We’ll be sure to let folks know when print versions are being released!
(I won’t be at UK Meet this year, it clashes with a music festival in my village)

I want the print versions, too. Am sitting here on tenterhooks. Maybe they’ll be at the Oxford event?

Fingers crossed I can have e- and print versions eventually.
