Short Story:  February 1809

This is just a reminder to anyone who has finished reading their Christmas copy of Catching the Eagle - and cannot wait for the sequel.  If you would like to read more about Jamie, William and Cilla Charlton and the other characters in Catching the Eagle, then please check out the FREE short story I wrote for my publisher's website:

February 1809 is both a prequel to Catching the Eagle - and a stand alone short story.  It introduces the characters and provides more background information about the real events which preceeded the robbery at Kirkley Hall.  

I hope you enjoy it.

February 1809...

The FREE short story I wrote for Knox Robinson Publishing is now available to download from their website:

Set in Northumberland, February 1809 by Karen Charlton, it is a prequel to my main novel Catching the Eagle.  It introduces the main characters and is based on some real events in the lives of Jamie and William Charlton. 

You can download it for FREE from the website above.  Please feel free to leave a review on the site.

Synopsis
February 1809:  The rural community in Ponteland, Northumberland begins to stir after one of the harshest winters on record.

As the land is slowly brought back to life, impoverished farm labourer, Jamie Charlton, desperately seeks work.

Jamie has more problems than most.  With a wife and four hungry children to feed, a mountain of debt and creditors baying for payment, he lurches from one crisis to another, stubbornly refusing help from his anxious brother, William.

Based on real events, February 1809 is a day in the life of real people and is a prequel to the novel, Catching the Eagle.
