#TheLastKing is 4 years old.

If you’ve been with Coelwulf, Rudolf, Icel, Edmund and Pybba since the beginning, then you’re probably with me in trying to work out how 4 years have gone by since the release of the first book. There are now eight (well really nine and a half, as book 9 is written but not yet released, and book 10 is well underway) books in all, as well as a short story collection, Coelwulf’s Company.

If you’ve not yet discovered The Mercian Kingdom: The Ninth Century series, then you’ve in for a treat, as long as you’re not easily offended by foul language and violence – although if you are, there are Cleaner versions available without quite so much swearing. Follow this link, as they can be a bit tricky to find on Amazon.

Don’t forget to check out the short story collection, Coelwulf’s Company.

If you follow the link, here (to Bookfunnel) you can also download a copy of The New Recruit, a short story I wrote while working on The Last Seven.

The Last King books are available in ebook, paperback and hardback, and The Last King (book 1 ) is also available in audio.

The Last Viking (the most recent release) is currently 99p/99c on Amazon UK/Canada/Australia and reduced in all territories for a limited time only.

The Last King is also available to read with Prime Reading on Amazon UK.

  1. It does not seem 4 years ago when I did my 1st AR for MJ Porter on the start of her journey with The Last King Series. I loved the book from the start Bloody, Brutal & Brilliant. I was proud to have my review on MJ’s website & have eagerly awaited in new adventure & been thrilled with every read. I have enjoyed reading all these 📚 Thank you MJ. You have excelled with these stories & encouraged me to start my own journey. Stacy T Townend

  2. I will definitely be reading this series! After starting with the Eagle of Mercia Chronicles, learning about the fact Icel comes from this series as an older man made me pick up the first book already though I’ve yet to start reading it. (And though a lot of people don’t care and it doens’t matter, I personally appreciate a cleaner version available of the books so extra thank you for making that possible). All the best for book 9 and 10. And you have a lifelong fan of your books, I’ve got a copy of King of Kings I’ve started reading, plus your book about Royal Women who made England, and a copy of the first book in your fantasy trilogy! 😀 🙂

    1. Thank you. So glad you’re enjoying all the books. And yes, I really do appreciate that not everyone enjoys Coelwulf’s potty mouth. Icel is such a great character. I love writing him as a young man and his older self. 😉👍
