Amazon Reviews

Although it presents a massive shop window to the world, Amazon isn't the first marketing choice for small and self publishers, as authors will be lucky to see more than 10% of the cover price go into their coffers. Still, it's nice to get feedback (however infrequent) about our titles, and Tales From Four Towns has two very positive reviews, giving us 4.5/5 stars on average:

Dudley!

Heart of the Black Country, home to the famous castle and living museum and with a history stretching back to the year dot, Dudley has a wealth of previously untold stories form the Victorian era. Keep an eye out for our newest title, available soon... it's gritty, grimy and at times downright shocking!


Please note: the events described in our books sometimes include accidents and crimes of a violent nature and are therefore unsuitable for children.

It Happened In Brewood - Available Now

This collection of stories from nineteenth century Brewood tells of the accidents, crime, drunkenness, poverty and brutality that affected the lives of hundreds of ordinary people. It covers a wide range of crimes from minor thefts and assaults, to the most serious offences - with those found guilty facing anything from a fine of a few shillings to a path to the gallows.

Fascinating details about pubs, shops and properties are also included, along with descriptions of entertainment, matters of public health, the poor and the Workhouse.
