One of my favorite authors is Kevin Marsh from Whitstable, England. He is a natural born storyteller who knows how to weave beautiful Celtic stories as well as mysteries and thrillers. For now, let's focus on history, shall we! Coming soon is the third book in The Torc Trilogy (cover reveal soon). For more information take a look at his blog and make sure to follow so you don't miss any updates, My novels and other things by Kevin Marsh
After I read his terrific thriller, The Witness I had to check out his other books, The Belgae Torc and The Gordian Knot.
My copies, buy your own!
I just wanted to share the news that the third book in The Torc Trilogy should be revealed soon! I have been waiting for this one since I read the first two. I wonder what the cover will look like? More Celtic symbols or maybe a painting from the author! Yes, he paints too! Check out his website, Kevin Marsh
You know how it is when you love an author's writing and novels so much, it just seems impossible to wait for DETAILS...
For those of you who can't get enough Celtic history, adventure stories, some saucy bits with humor here is some background on both novels just for you!
England 50 BC – A Celtic symbol of power and wealth, a Torc wrought from white gold, a trophy for a king.
Luain Mac Lanis, warrior turned metal smith, is commissioned to make a magnificent Torc, but he knows nothing of the curse surrounding the strange metal. The only way to lift the curse is to offer the Torc to the Gods in a sacrificial ceremony.
Two thousand years later the Torc is listed on the inventory of a sunken ship. Dr Orlagh Gairne, a leading archaeologist, is sent to work with Jack Harrington and his crew of salvage experts. It’s Orlagh’s job to identify the Torc and ensure its safe delivery to the National Museum, but the operation is not as straightforward as expected.
Aided by his team of mercenaries and an historical expert, Jack unearths a wave of hatred spreading across Europe. With the past weaving tightly with the present, they must infiltrate the terrorists’ lair in order to prevent a worldwide catastrophe.

Twelve months has passed since the traumatic events that almost claimed
her life and Dr Orlagh Gairne is looking forward to a well-earned
holiday. With her partner, Jerry, they jet off for the Aegean coast
where they plan to make the most of the Mediterranean sun and visit the
ancient sites of Anatolia. The Phoenix Legion, still reeling from a
humiliating defeat, have re-grouped and are now planning the next phase
of their quest. They are in possession of the Belgae Torc, but this is
not enough to ensure total power so they must rely on the druids and
their connection with the spirit world. Whilst searching for treasure in
the Sea of Azov, Jack Harrington and his team make an unexpected
discovery and with the past merging with the present are unable to avoid
being drawn in to another deadly battle. The Belgae Torc, Jack
Harrington and The Phoenix Legion are far from her thoughts, but as
Orlagh enjoys her holiday with the man she loves, these forces come
together. Will she manage to avoid another conflict or will she become a
victim of circumstances that are beyond her control? "People had died
because of the Belgae Torc and somehow she felt responsible." From the
author of The Belgae Torc.
