The Sea Kings by Les Cole, an adventure set around Bronze Age Minoan Crete. Reviews vary wildly- will just have to wait and see, I guess. Won't order the other two in the series till I check out this first one.

Charlotte Betts has a new book coming out - The Painter's Apprentice. Her book covers are very colourful and attractive, don't you think?

I'll keep an eye out for that one, Vanessa- I enjoyed Apothecary's Daughter. There aren't that many novels set around the Glorious Revolution, either.

Yep I love the covers....I am actually thinking of buying extra copies of books so I can rip off the covers and then frame them for what will be my future study/library.

I know it's mad, but I LOVE those covers!

LOL. I think they make a change from the usual figure/headless lady, etc! I can see what you mean about wanting to frame them.

I think this cover is even lovelier than her first book, they are both gorgeous, and a definite change from the lady in a pretty frock standing in a castle/cloister!
