Angels

By Philip E. Batt

When Emperor Frederick decides that a parade should be held to honour his return to Highport, Captain Thomas Winterburne of the City Watch knows that things are going to get busy. But, when he also learns that the peace talks with Queen Ysabel of the Commonwealth have broken down he smells even more trouble brewing. Not only that, when he is called to investigate the murder of an apparently innocent serving girl he soon discovers something more sinister going on, something so big that it threatens the very fabric of the Empire. And what's more...only he can stop it.

For as long as I can remember I have read and enjoyed books of all kinds, although I mostly enjoy reading fantasy, science fiction and horror. I guess that I have always written stories, in one form or another but it was only a few years ago that I vowed to tackle that mountain called "the novel". It wasn't that I didn't have any stories, I did, it was more that I wasn't actually sure what the process looked like. That was until I put the effort into looking at creating a process that worked for me. The result was that the dream that I always had to write that novel had a way of getting from my imagination and down into book format. My first novel "Angels" is the result and "Redemption", the second book in The Highport Sagas, is also now available in ebook format. I am married, to Yvonne, and live in Bristol, UK, with two dogs and two cats. I also have two grown up children (I don't usually only do things in twos, honestly.)
