Just published!

Here's a link and the cover to my new book available from Amazon today


Merve, The Druid's Boy is the first volume in Roma Cymru, my new series featuring Merve's remarkable adventures in Roman Britain - and other historical places and times...!

Oh; and as it's for the youth market it's under my pen name of Jacky Sinclair (see My Bio column on right)...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Merve-Druids-Roma-Cymru-Book-ebook/dp/B00RY3EHBY/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1420721223&sr=1-1&keywords=Jacky+sinclair 



It’s the Third Century AD, and at the settled and mostly peaceful Romano-British fort of Cae’r Dydd, Merve, the son of the Roman Animal Doctor and a Druid Princess is free to get on with his usual chores: tending to his own growing menagerie, swotting up on his homework and on Imperial culture ... and keeping out of the way of his eccentric but powerful Druid teacher and mentor, Caradoc.

But when mad Senator Virilius arrives from Rome intending to take over control of an abandoned outpost up in Caledonia and create his own kingdom north of the frontier – intending on killing his old enemy Paul, Merve’s Pa, in the process – Caradoc has to bring his own plans forward, and initiate the boy early into his destiny as Holder of the Grimoire, the sacred depository of all the hidden knowledge of the Druids...


And so begins an epic adventure that will take the boy right across the face of the Empire, make him discover his amazing affinity with animals – especially his white tiger Shadow (rescued from the arena....), and then  forward in time as far as the 20th Century and the World War Two Blitzkrieg of the huge town that grows from his humble settlement.....
