99p ~ You Can't Go Wrong!

The two instalments of my family saga about the Lanchester family, KINGS AND QUEENS  and LAST CHILD are both on offer for 99p/99c from today, September 17th, until midnight on Wednesday, September 23rd.  Click on the titles for Amazon links!


You can see details for the books ~ blurb and over 90 x 4/5* reviews ~ on the links above; in brief, they're two episodes of a contemporary drama about a family who own a property developing empire ... with a historical twist.  Kings and Queens is about Harry Lanchester and the six women in his life, which might remind you of a certain Tudor king... it's a modern day retelling of the story of Henry VIII and his wives.  Last Child is about Harry's children, Jasper, Isabella and Erin, who closely resemble Edward VI, Mary Tudor and Elizabeth I.


Please note: no knowledge of history is necessary!  Both books are essentially just modern day dramas, and can be enjoyed without any reference to the characters' historical counterparts.

My new book, The House of York, will be out in October, all going well, cross fingers and touch wood.  You can read more about it HERE


Many thanks to anyone who downloads!

Last Child - cover reveal!


Writing a blog post on Christmas Day?  How sad does that make me????


But Him Indoors is busy doing bloke-ish things, and I have just received this - the cover for my soon to be published novel, Last Child, which is the sequel to Kings and Queens!  I'm absolutely overjoyed with it, it's exactly what I wanted!

I hope it will be out in February 2015.


Here is the (rough!) first draft of the blurb:


LAST CHILD is the sequel to Kings and Queens, Terry Tyler’s modern take on the story of Henry VIII and his six wives.

Harry is gone, his legacy passed on to his children.

Thirteen year old JASPER amuses himself in Lanchester Estates board meetings by imagining the directors as Harry Potter characters, but discovers that first love is somewhat less than magical...
Eldest daughter ISABELLA is lonely and looking for love; she returns from a holiday in Spain with more than just a suntan…
… while wild, independent ERIN, battles with her two passions: her love for transport manager Rob Dudley, and the need to do justice to her father's memory.

Last Child reconnects with old favourites Kate and Hannah, and introduces new characters into the lives of the Lanchesters: the ambitious Jim Dudley, Rob's long suffering wife Amy, and Raine Grey, whose nine days as PR manager for Lanchester Estates has a devastating effect on her life.

Will Harry's children suffer for the mistakes he made?
