I am delighted to announce the publication of Walking Among Lions, my first full novel for many years. It seems I am getting my mojo back - at last!

This is the first of a planned trilogy about Constance of York. The second book, provisionally titled Hanley Castle, should be ready later in 2022.

Quotes by Brian Wainwright (?)

“Given special powers, anyone can do anything. It takes away all the merit of achievement. It's like King Arthur's magic sword. As long as he wielded it, no one could defeat him. Well, that means that the virtue was in the sword, not in him. Even I could be a great knight with a sword like that. I'd be much more impressed by Arthur if he'd fought his battles with an ordinary sword, and still won them.”
― Brian Wainwright, The Adventures of Alianore Audley
