Time for a re-think, PR wise

There is such a lot of old clutter on Amazon if you care to look - because Amazon continue to offer old paperbacks for sale and there's nothing authors can do about it if the rights  belong to a publishing company - even though the company has gone forever. Old covers, old editions proliferate, plus reviews. Hopefully, most people look only for the new stuff and don't see all the dross!

While wishing everyone a Happy Christmas, I am thinking of updating my books and bringing titles together where I can. For example: I have 4 books that I uploaded to KDP as I finished writing them  -  several years apart. They should really be brought together as one complete package. I called it the Scots Queen Series but really the hero, and the thread throughout the four books is, Matho. I aim to PR them under this sort of banner now:

THE MATHO SPIRSTON SAGA

Love, loyalty, and survival across the Borders of England, Scotland, and France.

From the blazing borderlands of Tudor England to the storm-lashed castles of Scotland and the treacherous courts of France, one man’s courage is tested against impossible odds.

Matho Spirston begins as a humble guard, but fate thrusts him into the heart of history—caught between kings and queens, ambition and betrayal, love and loss. Whether aiding a doomed romance, stealing a queen for England, or carrying secret letters across war-torn Europe, Matho must fight not only for survival but for the chance to protect those he loves.

This sweeping saga blends romance, adventure, and political intrigue in the turbulent mid-sixteenth century. Perfect for fans of historical fiction who crave daring heroes, feisty heroines, and the perilous dance of duty and desire.

Start with Fair Border Bride, the gripping prequel, and follow Matho through Abduction, The Queen’s Courier, and Queen’s Letters for a journey you won’t forget.
