He will lead a quiet life managing his estate and writing history books. He is unsuited to family life but this changes when his friend, Max. dies, appointing him as guardian to his young daughter, Arabella and his son, Jeremy, who attends Eton. As though that is not enough to disrupt Nicholas’s life, he promises Max to ensure his daughter, Carrie, has a London season and marries a suitable gentleman.

Beneath her dark eyebrows she was making a critical study of him.” Before Max died, he warned Nicholas about his brother Simon, a ...

Angel Brave Scifi/fantasy/romance

  I am a fan of Ms Schartz’ scifi/fantasy/romance fiction. Angel Brave fulfilled all my expectations when I read the last line. The talented novelist gives a new twist to the theme of good triumphing over evil, and there is only one word for the plot – brilliant. The Azurans are self-sufficient. They don’t trade with any other planets. The Galactic Trade Alliance, which destroys planets and civilisations for profit, plans to attack Azura to steal magical blue crystal. The resistance movement cannot help Azura if the planet has been infiltrated by the GTA, or something darker, the Stygian Order which could turn the crystal black. Ruthless Clara Beltzer opposes the resistance planets. She is in command of the Resistance Movement and will stop at nothing to control it. Only Azurans see the truth and are against her. Keoke Mahoe’s spaceship slips between Azura’s defences to deliver a message. Lady Valoria, chief of the planet’s avenging angels, admires Keoke’s uncanny ability to ch...

Theme, plot and end of a novel.

  I know what the plot, the theme and the end of my new novel are. I don't plan the chapters in advance because I enjoy it when the characters surprise me, or there is a twist in the tale II did not anticipate. Sometimes, I need to think about what will happen next for a day or two. My latest chapter was constantly in my throughts and the characers were nudging me to do as they wished. Joy of joys, today it's almost writing itself.
