Tyburn Tree: Awards

Tyburn was an infamous execution spot west of London, used since medieval times. The Tyburn "tree" - a unique, multi-person gallows - erected in 1571 became a popular public spectacle, drawing crowds of thousands.Tyburn Tree blog is less blood-thirsty but hopefully topical, interesting and informative, if slightly bent to my personal topics of interest - books, writing, history, technology, with a smattering of politics and dash of pop culture, science and the downright strange. So "take a ride to Tyburn" and see what happens...

Still Pretty Good‬....

Well, THE JESUIT LETTER unfortunately didn't advance to the "final four" in the 2016 ‪HNS‬ Indie Award, but still did pretty damn good for a debut novel, making it to the Short-list!

That puts it in the top nine books out of the 300-odd indie books the Historical Novel Society reviewed in the last year...so YAY!
