George Washington's Ghost

Conventional wisdom is that if the Crown Colonies of the Commonwealth of New England ever unite in common purpose; then the Empire might fall. That this might happen at the very moment that century-old post-war settlement of the Treaty of Paris is threatening to fall apart, had been the unimaginable nightmare of generations of European monarchs, politicians, diplomats and generals.The unthinkable is happening. Mexican troops are advancing through the South Western borderlands of New England; nothing can stop them. At sea, the supposedly invincible Royal Navy has been driven from the Caribbean and the Gulf of Spain. The handful of survivors of HMS Achilles are trapped in enemy territory. The three brothers unwittingly caught up in the events of Empire Day, 1976, are swept along by the tide of events, while news of Melody Danson and Henrietta De L'Isle's adventures in Spain momentarily distract a bewildered and increasingly uneasy, public in the old and the new worlds.In apparent disarray in the Americas, at home in England, the Government is attempting to navigate the fallout from the death of the Kaiser, distracted from the problems across the Atlantic. And then secrets more explosive than any of the weapons deployed in the war threatening to change the map of New England, burst in the midst of the crisis. In a world threatening to dissolve into chaos; who can step from the shadows to save the day?James Philip was born in London. He and his wife live in Hampshire in the heart of the south of England. Having despaired of ever getting his fiction published by main stream publishers he has embraced the e-publishing revolution with something akin to glee. Surprised by the positive reception to the e-publication of Until the Night and several of his other books, he has now become a full time writer for the first time in his life and is currently working on a large number of new projects including additional instalments to existing series.

Купеческая дочь замуж не желает
Купеческая дочь замуж не желает

Нелепая, случайная гибель в моем мире привела меня к попаданию в другой мир. Добро бы, в тело принцессы или, на худой конец, графской дочери! Так нет же, попала в тело избалованной, капризной дочки в безмагический мир и без каких-либо магических плюшек для меня. Вроде бы. Зато тут меня замуж выдают! За плешивого аристократа. Ну уж нет! Замуж не пойду! Лучше уж разоренное поместье поеду поднимать. И уважение отца завоёвывать. Заодно и жениха для себя воспитаю! А насчёт магии — это мы ещё посмотрим! Это вы ещё земных женщин не встречали! Обложка Елены Орловой. Огромное, невыразимое спасибо моим самым лучшим бетам-Елене Дудиной и Валентине Измайловой!! Без их активной помощи мои книги потеряли бы значительную часть своего интереса со стороны читателей. Дамы-вы лучшие!!
