Pagan Warrior went on blog tour with The Coffee Pot Book Club in May 2023 #blogtour – check out the posts #GodsAndKings #TheSevethCentury

Pagan Warrior is the story of the battle of Hædfeld, fought in the seventh century between the Northumbrians, and you got it, the Mercians – or rather, Cadwallon of Gwynedd but with Penda of Mercia as his firm ally. You can find more details here.

A quick shout out to thank all the blog hosts and Cathie at The Coffee Pot Book Club for organising.
