The cover of 'Echoes of Winter', historical tales across centuries and continents, designed by Ian Bristow—who has a story in it too! My story —I Saw Three Ships —is it set in the 17th Century and is related to the Philip Lord books, but only those who know the books will get it!

And 3rd September 1650 unfortunately Cromwell won at Dunbar too. He really was a good cavalry commander... and a b*stard.

OLDER THAN AMERICA. OLDER THAN AUSTRALIA. Worcester’s King Charles House dates from 1577, older than the United States and Australia as nations combined. 375 years ago this year, the Battle of Worcester raged outside its doors. History lives on.
