This has been added to the 'More Books by ABCtales authors' section on the front page:

Halleswell Hall by Lisa Fuller (QueenElf) and David Povah is a Historical family saga. One of the first chapters can be found here on ABC: http://www.abctales.com/story/queenelf/halleswell-hall-0. Its about a fictional Holy well and a character called Brannon (based on a 5th century Saint called Brannock), who settled in Devon.

The historical house is built in late Tudor times on the foundations of an old hill fort. From the late 1500s to the year 1997, the family line is unbroken, with the usual stories of piracy, plague, love, sex, adventure etc.

Then on the night when Halley's comet streaks the skies (1910), theres a ritual murder and a curse placed on the family. Lisa says: "From that point on we suddenly found that our book was getting serious. We started with WW1 and the decimation of the family. Only a few family members survived and as we researched the war the book took a dark turn. We were both amazed to find out that a pandemic, similar to the current bird flu, had wiped out ten times the people killed in WW1. That took my heroine to India, where she nursed the sick."

The book ends in the year 1997 when some vital journals are found and replaced at Halleswell Hall, along with St Brannon's Holy Cup that is replaced in a well.

As co-authors they have never met. All the research was done online, with Wikepedia being our best source.

The book is published by Troubador but they are selling it under their own banner of www.museandviewspublications.com.
