Hi everyone

I've just joined this community to find other writers and readers who enjoy this genre like I do, and to do a little shameless self-promotion as well!

The Tin Tsaritsa is my first published novel (Available currently through Smashwords, soon to be distributed to other sites) and I would like to invite you to sample some of the writing - available free online or downloadable to your preferred e-reader from: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/174561

Should you wish to purchase the remainder of the book (and I hope you enjoy it so much you will!) then there is a promotional code for the month of July for 25% off the purchase price. (code is on the link above).

To titilate you, here is the blurb:

Laura Asanton married her prince to escape the terror of Lady Ramkinsons finishing school. She was supposed to live happily ever after; instead she found herself isolated in a backwards principality in the Ural Mountains, surrounded by traditions and a language foreign to her.

Snubbed by Alekseis aging court she sought solace with the stable groom Olaf, who opened her eyes to the beauty of the principality, and the terrible plight of Dalnerechensks miners. As simmering resentment teeters towards revolution, can Laura hold on to what she has grown to love, or will it all be swept away?               

Thank you for your comments and support!
