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.

Total sales for the series are now over 110,000, making this the best-selling fiction series ever published in Wales.
