hi from bonny Scotland
Hi everyone, I just joined. I'm an Australian of British parents, now in the highlands of Scotland. We get around! Always obsessed with historical fiction, particularly anything about the Celts, early Britons, Romans, and Saxons. I'm a Celtophile! I started writing novels about my fav topic, ooh, years ago, and since then my reading has tailed off dreadfully. Which is very embarrassing for an author. So, I seek to remedy that, and look forward to reading about your suggestions.

Are always to be found between the hooves of horses
For never will cowards fall down there.'
