Elsie Tapp is the kind of woman who’d break the heart of a Turkish wrestler, and mostly with her fists. But appearances can be deceptive. Miss Tapp has a secret. To her adoring fans everywhere she is Felicity Merryweather, Queen of Romance, and no gooier tales of love, villainy and tight Regency trousers exist outside the covers of her books.

There’s a defrocked vicar who sees witchcraft in everything, a retired captain who believes in dragons, and a box that leaks sweet smelling smoke and whispers ‘Take me home, big boy!’ to anyone that listens.
‘A Touch of Spleen’ – the new sequel to ‘The Trouble with Wyrms’ trilogy. The comedy continues, and this time with teeth…
