Introduction to a series of new Historical Fiction Novels. Seeking Solus: Life and Love as the First True Thief Taker.

The Seeking Solus series will be a suite of novels covering the life, times, loves, and heartaches of Kit Pascoe, alias John Solus.

The following is backstory: Kit was born in Exeter CE 1670, the son of cloth fullers. As a boy, he believed he was set for a life of contented productivity in his own town. Exeter held his family and his two closest friends, Gillian and Roesia, but Kit's life is turned upside down by his father's actions.

Although Kit was educated beyond his station and a bright future awaited, because of his father's folly, instant money was required. Kit did not have years to build up a new business or the time/funds to establish himself in a profession. So he turned his hand to bounty collection. Kit needed both his wits and his courage to make his way as a Constable of the Peace; firstly in Exeter and then in Oxford Universities.

Kit was doing well, yet he was far from having the funds needed to return to the life of a fulling mill owner. Believing London would hold the key to making the money he needed to secure his family's future, Kit headed to the capital city, and the start of the Seeking Solus series of novels.

The series opens with the first story: A Filigree of Gold - P.B.’s coming blogs cover insights into the real history behind the book, the intentional anachronisms, along with some deleted scenes and character insights.

The second novel: A Crimson Moon - P.B. Is hard at work editing.

The third novel: The She of We - P.B. is hard at work refining the prose.

The fourth novel: Midnight Owlers - P.B. is hard at work on this tale.

The rest of the series so far - Books 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 13 are plotted. P.B. is on a mission.

A new blog each Sunday: Everything Else is Just Straw and Water.
