I nearly published a #HistFict about the Mayflower, but it went to another publisher in the end. It was blooming good. Written by a descendant of two of the passengers/crew who married in the new colony.

A hearty welcome to multi-published #histfict author & admitted Anglophile @sophieperinot.bsky.social, also my dear friend. She has still *another* novel under her alt-ego name, Evie Hawtrey, but yet to take the plunge on BlueSky with that nom de plume. She is in the middle of her next book now.

This feat supposedly had a testing stone. In Fotharta Mag Fea, there is a graveyard called Leamaneh. Nearby were the quarried remains of a large standing stone. The word Leamaneh represents the Irish Leim an eich, i.e., The Horse Leap.

"A powerful and intriguing story that straddles past and present, Mason leads readers on an unforgettable journey into the heart of darkness.

Highly compelling and darkly introspective at times, EO-N makes for a riveting read. Recommended without reservation." Book Viral
