About the Author: L. M. Ollie
L.M. Ollie is a Canadian-born Kiwi living in New Zealand with her husband Frank and assorted animals, both domestic and wild although the word feral might be more to the point. Her daughter Alicia is a student at the University of Auckland.

Ollie's first novel On the Trail of King Richard III is considered to be "the most concise and historically accurate rendering of the life and times of King Richard III currently in print in fiction". Virtually all the action takes place in the U.K.

Her second, Creatures of the Chase is a trilogy: Richard, Yusuf and Mikail. The novels are set in various locations but mostly in Boston Massachusetts, Southern Ireland and Morocco. All three novels are complete.
Every age has its heroes, and its villains. Richard III, King of England (1483-1485) was a villain, a monster perhaps, but that's Shakespeare's version, sourced from documents which were either pro-Tudor or blatantly anti-York; the War of the Roses -- The Continuation.

But, was he so very evil? Not according to a small group of enthusiastic individuals called Ricardians who seek to have the truth told. The central character of this work of fiction - Laura Kempe - is determined to undertake her own investigation, using a combination of common sense, instinct and more than a touch of ESP. She gets more than she bargains for however when she reaches for the ultimate prize; the truth about what happened to the "Princes in the Tower" and unwittingly unleashes a chain of events which threaten to destroy her and her travelling companions.

Witty, amusing and provocative, this is a story overflowing with little-known facts, bizarre encounters and finally, unremitting evil. A traveler's tale? Absolutely! But, be warned! For those who seek knowledge must come prepared, for often it seems that Truth is jealously guarded to the death, and sometimes beyond!

Reputed to be the most concise and historically accurate rendering of King Richard III yet set within the confines of an intelligently written, exciting and frequently amusing story line.
