My first novel, Needing Napoleon was published by The Conrad Press on 18 November 2021. Available from most online booksellers as ebook or paperback. The sequel, Serving Shaka is due out in spring 2022. The premise is this - a disaffected history teacher believes Napoleon could have won the Battle of Waterloo.
On holiday in Paris he stumbles across an antique shop where the eccentric owner claims to know the secret to time travel. You have to want it more than your current life and accept that it is a one-way trip.
Richard, the teacher, makes that journey but things don’t work out as he hoped. But he does witness the battle and meet Napoleon Bonaparte. More than that, he eventually finds himself on St Helena with the exiled emperor. Can he help him escape? and if so, where can they go?
I have a publishing deal but most marketing is left up to me. I would be delighted if anyone on this forum would like to buy my book. However, I am also happy to engage in discussions about the Napoleonic period and my ideas as to what might have haplened to Bonaparte had he managed an escape from St Helena.
