HISTORICAL fiction writer AJ Lyndon has released the second novel of her War Without an Enemy<\/em> trilogy.<\/p>\n

The Tawny Sash<\/em> is an aristocratic family saga and a revenge thriller full of treachery, set between 1643 and 1644 during the First English Civil War, and it has been named after the Earl of Essex\u2019s colours.<\/p>\n

Lyndon said those who enjoy reading about battles will like this story.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt follows the Welsh Vaughan family, and the English Lucie family,\u201d she said. \u201cThey\u2019re caught up in the war and there\u2019s a lot of fighting.<\/p>\n

\u201cApart from the fact that they\u2019re being hunted by Sir Henry Lucie\u2019s spy, Gabriel Vaughan gets caught up in the Basing House plot.<\/p>\n

\u201cBasing House was the biggest private house in England and the plot is to try and hand the King\u2019s biggest garrison, which is nearly as big as Windsor Castle over to parliament.\u201d<\/p>\n

Worcester, Wales\u2019 Tretower Court and Castle, Cornwall\u2019s Fowey, and Boconnoc House, and the Royalist capital of Oxford are some of the book\u2019s recognisable locations.<\/p>\n

\u201cChrist Church college, which features as The Great Hall in Hogwarts in Harry Potter, was where Charles I set up his court,\u201d Lyndon said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTretower appears as Gabriel\u2019s home, and the home of the Vaughan family, which it was, but I\u2019ve renamed it The Allt, after a local mountain.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"
Readers can get a copy of the book signed at the Ballaarat Mechanics\u2019 Institute next month when AJ Lyndon delivers a talk.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lyndon said she strived to get an accurate understanding of each place by making a special visit and looking inside buildings of significance.<\/p>\n

With the final draft written throughout the COVID-19 era, Lyndon said The Tawny Sash<\/em> wouldn\u2019t exist without the research support of live streaming technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pandemic was a world-wide tragedy, but there were side benefits,\u201d Lyndon said. \u201cHistorical societies in the UK such as The Battlefields Trust began holding their historical lectures on Zoom.<\/p>\n

\u201cLectures in London or Manchester at 8pm are 5am our time. I set the alarm and switch my camera on with a sweatshirt hastily pulled over my PJs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ballarat Writers group member grew up in Wales, and has been a lover of history, and fiction based on the past, since she was a teenager.<\/p>\n

Studying English and history at university, Lyndon\u2019s focus was events between the years of 1485 to 1830.<\/p>\n

She has been writing for nine years, and released the first War Without an Enemy<\/em> novel, The Welsh Linnet,<\/em> in 2017.<\/p>\n

Lyndon will discuss her book and sign copies at the Ballaarat Mechanics\u2019 Institute on Tuesday 4 July at 7pm and it\u2019s also for sale at local book shops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
