Updated: Nov 3, 2022

Romaunce Books has scooped four historical novels by best-selling author Alan Gold with more in the pipeline including Alan’s first foray into romantic fiction.


Alan’s first four novels to be published by Romaunce Books will be 'The Book of Alys' (mistress to King Henry II), His Head on a Platter (the life and times of the Renaissance painter Artemisia Gentileschi), 'The Book of Mary' (the little-known mother of Jesus), and 'The Devil’s Disciple' (the life and times of the most famous magician in history, Dr. Faustus).


Publisher Antonia Tingle acquired English speaking rights, initially on a four-book deal which will be published in early 2023.
