This blog is created for the followers of Brian John's Angel Mountain Saga of eight novels, dealing with the life and times of a very imperfect heroine, Mistress Martha Morgan of Plas Ingli. She lived at about the same time as Jane Austen but struggled to survive in a very different world. Total sales for the series are now over 110,000, making this the best-selling fiction series ever published in Wales.

Progress on the new book
The manuscript of the new book is now out being read by two referees -- and only when it has been approved by all 5 of my referees will I make a decision to go ahead and publish it. As I have said before, one must always be careful, as a small publisher and self-publisher, that one does not slip into that egotistical thing called vanity publishing.
The other day I spent a full day slogging through the text, doing all the formatting. Seriously tiring -- but it has to be done......
Now I'm getting printing quotes organized, and Martin is giving some thought to a book cover. It will be something quite striking! If all of my readers move quickly, and I don't have too much extra editing to do, I should still be on schedule for a March 1st (St David's Day) publication.
Watch this space.....
