Genealogist Gill Blanchard has been in touch to ask if I can give a quick plug for her forthcoming book and its launch, so here goes.
Gill has written a historical biography, based on the story of someone she came across whilst researching the history of a house. The book is Lawson Lies Still in the Thames: The Extraordinary Life of Vice-Admiral Sir John Lawson, and concerns an almost forgotten hero of the English Civil Wars who, despite being a committed parliamentarian, played a pivotal role in the restoration of the monarchy. The book is available from www.amberley-books.com/lawson-lies-still-in-the-thames.html or from Amazon at http://tinyurl.com/hak7o49.
The book launch will be at Jarrolds in Norwich, England, on 13 July at 6pm, where Gill will be reading some extracts and talking about his life and the research undertaken. Tickets are £5.
