There's a link on the Northworld Site to bring you back here. Hello, I am Alan Lancaster, author of the RAVENFEAST saga series. You will be familiar with the first three books, 'RAVENFEAST', 'OVERTHROWN' and 'OUTCAST'. Book four 'BETRAYED - The Net Tightens' joined the RAVENFEAST saga in April, 2014 available in paperback and uploaded to Amazon Kindle. Buy the paperback editions if you are unfamiliar with the background, terminology and geography of the books in the 'RAVENFEAST' saga series for the historical notes, background and map - unavailable in the KDP version. There's a review of RAVENFEAST by Christoph Fischer on the Historical Novel Society's website:http://historicalnovelsociety.org/reviews/ravenfeast-farewell-to-legend 'WAYFARER' has been available since October, 2014. Look up either the Bookshelf page on the Northworld Site - www.northworldsagasite.webeden.co.uk - or RAVENFEAST page on Hub-pages - http://alancaster149.hubpages.com/hub/THE-RAVENFEAST-SERIES - for an overview of the books and historical background. Will appear in 9X6 format (as with the other four). Keep an eye out for 'WAYFARER' here in paperback. The editing on the next MS in the series, 'LANDWASTER', is complete (20 Chapters again). A harrowing tale, it weaves around the era of William I's 'Harrying of the North' and tells of the frustrations Ivar has to put up with. There are skirmishes and raids on the Norman lords' strongholds, and those who see the new rulers as a way of bettering themselves had best beware! This can also lead to betrayals... ***I would recommend you buy the New Generation edition of RAVENFEAST, as the book was re-edited since publishing through Authorhouse. The newer edition is the improved version, not only because of that, but there is a bigger map in the re-published edition and a pronunciation guide to help understand how the place names and terminology 'work' (makes the reading easier as well). It's also half the price of the original edition*** If you're around in the south-east of England in mid-October this year why not come to the Battle Abbey re-enactment weekend, Battle Abbey near Hastings, 10th -11th October, 2015. See the event box below. On Hub-pages there's the RAVENFEAST page that will take you through the saga, book-by-book along with future projects, visit (no need to add 'www') alancaster149.hubpages.com/hub/The-Ravenfeast-Series with a link to the Northworld Saga Site.

In Germany son Robert is midway through a teaching degree to teach English as a second language.
