I am the author of a new novel which takes place in the era of Stonehenge...a period much ignored by fiction authors,sadly.
STONE LORD takes the legends of King Arthur and re-routes them into the early bronze age; the idea came from the anachronistic mentions of Stonehenge by Geoffrey of Monmouth. I thought, 'What if the origins of ther Arthurian legend came from an earlier time? This would explain Geoffrey's stories, plus things like the sword in the stone and the lady of the lake. Archaeologists such as Francis Pryor have also noticed something a bit more primal in the Arthurian legends...
I live near Stonehenge (which I've been interested in for over 25 years) and have been lucky enough to volunteer on the recent digs near Vespasians camp (an important mesolithic site with a sacred pool) which has also found its way into my story. I have had kind comments on the book from David Jaques, who is in charge of the Vespasian dig, and from Aubrey Burl.
If anyone would like a signed copy, I can supply one for £8.99 plus £1.80 postage (UK). (If you are abroad contact me.) Leave me a message via the portal and I'll contact you.
Thanks,
J.P Reedman
Alternatively the book is on Amazon in print and kindle.

Ms Reedman - lovely to see you here!
I am up to Chapter 18 in your new novel and must say I am duly impressed.
Broadly speaking, your style evinces echoes of some prominent authors of similar genre, but your personal fingerprint is carrying the torch in its own direction.
The style, construction and flow are unique.
I think I can say with some confidence your forthcoming notices will arrive in the positive column.
Bravo,
ND Wiseman
