About the event

Writing Historical Fiction - Delapré Abbey author talk
Writing Historical Fiction – author talk

Writing historical fiction – an author talk. Charles Cordell will be talking about writing historical fiction and Divided Kingdom book 2 – The Keys of Hell and Death.

Divided Kingdom - English Civil War historical fiction series

Charles Cordell is the author of English Civil War historical fiction series Divided Kingdom. His writing has received praise and editorial reviews from The Times. The likes of Ben Kane (bestselling author), David Gilman (award winning author), Professor Ronald Hutton CBE (TV historian) and others have given their endorsements.

Divided Kingdom book 2 – The Keys of Hell and Death - follows the Western campaign of 1643. The story opens with the brutal Battle of Lansdown Hill. Its characters - ordinary men and women - face each other and the terrible reality of war. Amongst them, a pair of Northampton shoemaker’s apprentices must survive the Siege of Devizes, the Battle of Roundway Down and the ferocious 1643 Storming of Bristol.
