Spanning the period of history that saw the fall of Cromwell, the Great Fire of London, and the Black Death, this is a novel that encompasses the wider history of the age, whilst focusing intimately on the lives of those living in it.
This is Anna’s third book, she has had great success and has been in the top 2% of all books sold on Amazon in the UK with sales of her second novel, ‘The Painted Fire’, which is set locally.
Stephen Draycott: Rehab to Rehab Rehab to rehab is a ten-year journey of acceptance and self-discovery. On 1st August 2003, Stephen suffered an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI), which left him with a number of psychological issues to both tackle and adjust to. Stephen would like to give thanks to Headway, a leading brain injury charity who gave him support, without whom and many others, this story would have been impossible to tell..
