Submissions

Hello everyone,

Thank you so much for your interest in Nuova Stella.  It's been amazing.

Just a few things to say to you all.


We are not taking book submissions until the middle of next year as we still have ongoing projects. 

Our remit is History and Mystery books, with a strong leaning towards women's issues and their lives.

We do not publish Children's books. 

We do not illustrate other author's books.

We do not have a political bias, and will not publish anything that has. 

Everything we publish is copyrighted to us and if we come across articles from our books that are unauthorised we will take action.

We cannot at the moment commit to any more charities.

We already support: 

The Blue Cross and RSPCA
The Salvation Army
Shelterbox 
Movember

But thank you for thinking of us.

Sorry to lay down the law as it were.  It's always best to be straight so we all know where we stand.

Have a good Wednesday.

Five Stars!

Thank you for every reader who gave me five star reviews over the weekend. It really is appreciated.

Since the  book launch I have been fighting the flu. It finally got me last week, so there has been little activity on the Nuova Stella sites as Andy went down with it as well.

One of the few things we managed to do through the hacking coughs and shivers was to re-load 1955, a book written for an Amazon competition, if that had got in the top 100 I would have been £20K richer!  However, it came in at 102.

We looked at it again to find that the KDP automatic proof reader had changed words, got rid of the ends of paragraphs, and generally messed it up - and it still got to 102!!

We have reviewed and repaired and reloaded 1955 - it is now on e.book and paperback on Amazon.

Rememberance Day

I write a lot about the English Civil War, it's a period I've researched and lived in a small way.
We re-enact the Battles up and down this island, in the hope that this will never happen again. To remind people that war is terrible.

We lost a third of all young men in the UK during these battles. Women and children died in their thousands.

Rememberance day does not glorify the dead and the brave. It honours them. The CUSA Cambridge Students should remember that. 
 
Wilfred Owen was 25 years old when he died fighting in France a week before the end of hostilities. Here is his poem about life in the trenches.

 The last two lines echo what the Cambridge Students are trying to say.  He was with them but brave enough to go and give them freedom to learn, spliff, party and forget his sacrifice.

Really?

Cannot stop laughing - The Oxford Mail's headline Couple cash in on Civil War - nearly wet myself!! We get 8p per book!!

We fund, advertise, promote, research, write, do social media and everything else!! I wrote this because the women who lived through this time were undervalued and this was a way of telling how they survived! If we make our money back we'll be pleased!

A lovely article in the Oxfordmail about Nuova Stella

Press on the above link to see the article about our Micropublishing house, a big thank you to James Roberts for putting us in the paper.

Fifteen minutes of fame - then fish and chip covering!

Yes we are in the Oxford Mail this Tuesday and the Witney Gazette on Wednesday - I'm not sure what they are going to say about us - but all publicity is Good Publicity isn't it?

The Ashmolean Museum has Guy Fawkes' original lantern, kept because it may have been worth something one day - by one of his captors.

So even in the past the thought of money from a historical event was motivation to preserve it.

My book I hope will shed some light on the 17th Century and the interview may shed some light on me. Watch this space.

I've never been much for celebrating a Catholic being torn apart and mutilated - or anyone else for that matter. But it brings Guy Fawkes back to life for one day a year, so I suppose at least he's not lost to history.

Remember, remember the fifth of November, Gunpowder treason and plot. We see no reason. Why gunpowder treason. Should ever be forgot! 

Happy Firework Night everybody.

Amazon Kindle best sellers list!

Yes we're in at number 100!  We ARE in!

See the screen grab taken this morning.

 Thank you everyone who made this possible!!
