    All Mercy wanted for Christmas was a bit of peace. 
In a quaint Connecticut town, the magic of Christmas is overshadowed when Mercy's past catches up with her. Levi, a mysterious immortal who turned her into a vampire nine years ago, comes calling. This time, instead of running, she decides to stay and learn about vampire history and abilities, at least for the winter holiday. She soon finds that she and Levi share a connection deeper than she ever imagined. 
A shocking and possibly Biblical truth forces Mercy to toil over a newfound identity while exploring extraordinary abilities she never knew she had. This power draws the attention of cannibalistic vampires, harbingers of even darker days to come. 
She should have known that a peaceful holiday was a high order. 
PEACE ON EARTH & MERCY MILD is a romantasy that blends Biblical elements with the timeless allure of vampires. In this story, love transcends centuries, and the battle between good and evil becomes deeply personal.

    Strong-willed Annabelle Stirling is more than capable of running the family draper shop after the untimely death of her parents. Under her father's tutelage, she became a talented cloth merchant, while her brother Wesley, the true heir, was busy philandering about Yorkshire. Knowing she must change with the times to survive, Belle installs new machinery that finishes twice the fabric in half the time it takes by hand. But not everyone is so enthusiastic. 
Soon, riled up by Belle's competitors, the outmoded workers seek violent revenge. Her shop destroyed, Belle travels to London to seek redress from Parliament. While there, the Prince Regent, future King George IV, commissions her to provide fabrics for his Royal Pavilion. As Belle's renown spreads, she meets handsome cabinetmaker Putnam Boyce, but worries that marriage will mean sacrificing her now flourishing shop. And after Wesley plots to kidnap the newly-crowned King--whose indiscretions are surfacing--she finds herself entangled in a duplicitous world of shifting allegiances. 
Painting a vivid portrait of life in the British Regency, Christine Trent spins a harrowing tale of ambition, vengeance, love, and complex loyalties against the dynamic backdrop of the early Industrial Revolution. 
This is a reissued version. 
By the King's Design is Book 3 in the Royal Trades series.

    Sherwood Anderson was born on 13th September 1876 in Camden, Ohio. 
 
When his father’s business failed the family was forced to move on a regular basis before finally settling in Clyde, Ohio.   
 
Anderson, one of 7 children, left school at 14 to take a number of jobs to help with the family finances. These were difficult years. 
 
He moved to Chicago in search of opportunities before joining the Army for the US-Spanish War of 1898.  He then entered Wittenberg Academy in Springfield, Ohio to complete his education before moving back to Chicago to take up a writing job. 
 
In 1904 he married Cornelia Lane, her family had resources and Anderson was keen, with this family backing, to run a business. 
 
The early years of their marriage produced 3 children but a nervous breakdown in 1907 and another in 1912, despite his success as a business entrepreneur, resulted in him abandoning his family and deciding that a literary career would be best for him.   
 
A move back to Chicago resulted in a job in advertising, a divorce from Cornelia and marriage to Tennessee Mitchell.  
 
That same year his first book ‘Windy McPherson’s Son’ was released and in 1919, his most famous book, ‘Winesburg, Ohio’, a collection of short stories about life in an Ohio town was released. 
 
Anderson continued to write short stories, novels and non-fiction but his only true bestseller came with ‘Dark Laughter’.  His influence on writers that followed, from Faulkner to Hemingway, was immense. He also married a further two times.   
 
Sherwood Anderson died in in Colón, Panama, on the 8th March, 1941. He was 64. An autopsy revealed that a swallowed toothpick had resulted in peritonitis. 
 
His headstone epitaph reads ‘Life, Not Death is the Great Adventure.’
