The first two parts in the series are set in the late Roman era on the archaeological site at Beedon, where Bron is born and brought up. In Part III, she sails to Italia, in the wake of the returning legions. Book IV, The Scarlet Seal, was published a couple of months ago (details below). Bron is now in Rome and meets Emperor Honorius at the chariot races. The year is AD 408 and the city is being besieged by its pagan enemies, who this time accept a large bribe to go away.

For those of you who enjoy historical fiction, the third book in Iris Lloyds BRON series was published last month.

Thanks so much for well publicising Part I of Bron, which is selling well locally. If you bought a copy, I hope you enjoyed it. Part II is now available (Thatcham Family Bookshop, other bookshops and Amazon), published by Pen Press, £7.99, ISBN 978-1-906206-23-9. Beginning in AD 398, it continues the story of Bron and life in the settlement at Beedon. Again, some of the discovered artefacts have been worked into the story. Revenge, murder, kidnap, lust and love - another fabulous read that will leave you eager for the next instalment.
