Blog Tour: Q&A with Karen Maitland, author of The Plague Charmer

Posted October 31, 2016 by Charlotte in Blog Tour, Guest Post / 0 Comments

Today I am delighted to be part of the Blog Tour for The Plague Charmer by Karen Maitland. I’ve loved every book That Karen has written, so reading The Plague Charmer is no different. This is a compelling read and I loved the historical mixed with fantasy. Below Karen answers some of my questions. Also a little extra treat check out this Plague Symptom Checker and see which Plague you have… Q&A: Can you in five words describe your book to those who haven’t read it? ‘Charmer more deadly than plague.’ When researching, did you find some interesting facts about this era, that don’t make it into the novel? Can you give some examples? The novel is set at the time of the second plague, which killed many more men than women, so there were many widows left trying to run farms and manors. At that time a widow could inherit all her husband’s lands and property, but only if she lived in chastely and stayed single. If she wanted to remarry and keep the land, she had to pay a fine equivalent to […]

Blog Tour / Guest Post: ‘The Inspiration for The Disciple’ by Stephen Lloyd Jones, author of The Disciple

Posted October 17, 2016 by Charlotte in Blog Tour, Guest Post / 0 Comments

Today I am delighted to be part of the Blog Tour for The Disciple by Stephen Lloyd Jones with a guest post about the inspiration. I loved reading The Disciple (see my review) and I recommend it to those who love fantasy and horror. Don’t forget to visit other blog stops along the tour for other great content. The Inspiration for The Disciple In The Disciple, published by Headline this month, Edward Schwinn, a barely-functioning recluse, is returning home one winter evening when he happens across a five-vehicle pile-up. Investigating the wreckage, he discovers the sole survivor: a woman, heavily pregnant, blindfolded and bound. It’s over a year since I wrote that opening scene, but I remember the experience very clearly. One moment I was walking near my home, and the next I was sitting beside Edward in his Land Rover as he navigated the mountain road on which he travelled. I could smell the wet odour of his dog in the back, and could just about see around the corner to the carnage that awaited him. At this point, I had no […]
