The final part of the series will be released in early November. The sixth book will follow the life of Abigail from her fortieth year, and see her become a well established writer, as she moves into a new phase of her publishing life. The series concludes in true Curio style, with a lot of humour, some beautiful and profound moments, that really do bring the whole series to a wonderful climax, revealing the hidden power and depth of all of the Curio group.
This is a massively underrated series that deserves far more attention, as it highlights the true talents of the author, and their wonderful ability to show life at its best and at its darkest. Thrilling, powerful and emotional, a beautiful end to a captivating series.

June 2025.
Robin John Morgan's new fatasy begins. The Sword for the Sky series, book one, Oaken of the Winds.

Some wounds never heal, some anger smoulders slowly, and all hatred grows.
Fear brings power, power breeds oppression, and oppression brings out hope.
Standing alone is an act of defiance, standing with others, is an act of rebellion.
To lead with doubt, is better than compliance, to lead with reassurance, is true opposition.
A brothers fight to save his half sister from the evil of a ruler who wants everything.
Becomes the spark that starts the fire of rebellion he will lead to unite everyone.

The wind is coming, and it is not alone.

A new captivating fantasy adventure from Robin John Morgan, author of Hans Cottage, Heirs to the Kingdom, The Ravens of Berengar, and the Curio Chronicles

02/05/2025

We are really looking forward to our next offering, which will see Author Robin John Morgan, begin a new journey into a new series. The series, which is a full fantasy story will be under the series title of “The Sword for the Sky,” and will take place in a new world, and hostile terrain, with many varying races and cultures. Part action fantasy adventure, and part walking into destiny, the story will follow the life of a young Andalan man, as he tries to walk in the shadow of his dead father, into an unwinnable conflict of culture wars.

The first book, “Oaken of the Winds,” will be released through VCP this Summer, and will open up a new world of races, humanity, morality, and conflict, and all presented by some amazing new and highly interesting characters. Watch this space for more updates.

15/04/2025

We are delighted to confirm that the next book from VCP, will be the start of a brand new series from Robin John Morgan.

The book is currently in production, aiming to be released in early to mid Summer 2025, which will land in time for the holiday reading season.

Robin will be returning to the full fantasy genre with his new title, “Oaken of the Winds” which will be the first of a new series, of which there is currently no set number of books, under the series name of “Sword for the Sky.”

We are delighted to see his return to fantasy, as he adds to a growing collection of enchanting and gripping tales, such as Han’s Cottage, The Ravens of Berengar trilogy, and the Heirs to the Kingdom series. He has become a writer of interesting and thought provoking tales of quality over the last twenty years, and we feel this new series will be no different, as he creates a whole new world filled with interesting and diverse races who clash.

We do not want to give too much away at this point, but his new series will focus mainly on three new characters, Night Shade, a wild and aggressive half Undine warrior, who has lived alone in the wilds since she was seven summers old. Nutriana, a sea fairing smuggler from Animatre, who runs contraband into the war ravaged areas of the land, and Oatin, the young son of the last leader of the Andalan, an ancient race of spiritual warriors, who have been the advisors and peace keeps of all the races for many years. Oaken’s father was killed by Balathral’s soldiers, as they swept the lands slaughtering and taking everything for themselves. Oatin, who managed to escape with his mother into hiding, is finally an adult, and is informed he is to take his fathers place, as wielder of a legendary sword, said to control the power of the four winds.

The story will follow Oatin, as he renamed Oaken of the four winds, and his group, as he sets off on a journey to try and save his young half Undine sister, Yandalla. Having being taken by soldiers, Yandalla is being transported to the lands of the Summanu to be ritually sacrificed. Oaken has to open his eyes, as he realises very quickly, his life of study around the four winds, has taught him nothing of life, other races and their belief, and also the evil brutality of how life has evolved on his war torn continent.

His journey will start this summer, as he encounters the new lands of hot deserts, green pastures, and a two spirit race who embrace the spirit of animals in their deep homeland jungle.

More updates will be posted closer to the time, so watch this space.

Of The Raven’s of Berengar (Trilogy)

Step back into the dark ages, before Avalon was constructed, and the Fae roamed the earth beside man. Written to be placed alongside his epic fantasy series Heirs to the Kingdom, the trilogy “Of the Ravens of Berengar” follows the story of two fae, who get caught in the political infighting and power grabs of the two of the leaders of the face race. Alone and in love, Ariel and Branna find themselves torn apart, as Ariel is dragged back to her realm, and Branna flees to the safety as the realm of man. Alone in a world she does not understand, accompanied by a raven which contains a dark power, she survives using her fae powers and seeks out a sanctuary, where she can settle, and then be reunited with Ariel.

Controlled by the bird as she struggles to break free, she unites with the Saxon warrior and makes a dark pact that will ensure her survival and eventually her downfall.

A powerful set of stories that chart how the darkness corrupts over three separate stories all linked by Ariel and Branna. Rise of the Raven and the Countess of Darkness overlap the beginnings of the Kingdom series, but can be read as stand alone stories. Wonderfully crafted stories, which show the finest skills of the author, as he takes all of the readers through a twisting series of events that leave you breathless as you enter the final book of Violet Stone. A very addictive series of betrayal, love, dark traits and powerful domination.

Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now by Colin Smith.

This is a hilarious stage play comedy. Written in play format, it is still a wonderful and rib tickling read. Based on the premise of a marriage lasts for eternity, and poses the question of what happens if we die, and have been married three times? Tough choices have to be made, the road to making them is paved with problems and absolutely brilliant comedic writing. Absolutely worth the read if you want to laugh out loud.
