Release details: ‘Sir Walter Raleigh: A New History’

Writing a book is a strange process: months of researching and thinking, then months more of writing it and editing it, and then going through the process with publishers of further edits. And then, there is a gap of a few months to wait for the release of the book in its final printed form. And then the wait is over, Sir Walter Raleigh: A New History is here.

For those of you who may not have read the synopsis, here it is:

Dispersed throughout the centuries and across the globe – a sleepy Devonshire village, a 1950s Hollywood film set, a horse hurtling on a Victorian racecourse, the Beatles meditating in India, a border dispute in South America, and a storm raging in the Outer Banks of North Carolina in 1993… they all lead back to Sir Walter Raleigh. He is the man of paradoxes: the outsider who wanted access to the royal court, a monarchist who later became a republican hero, a lover and a fighter, a pirate and a poet, the last great Elizabethan superstar and the first victim of the Stuart dynasty. Let’s chart his rise, his fall, and his legacy.

I thought I would upload a short post about some of the release details about this book and where people can find a copy, if they wished to read further into the intriguing and complex life of Walter Raleigh.
