Welcome to the website for VOREDA BOOKS, a small but perfectly formed micro-publisher specialising in quality fiction that’s set in Roman Britain. And some contrasting non-fiction too – automotive to start with. Either way, home to a growing range of attractive books which will always give pleasure. Plus a few nice maps…
Our niche is hardly cut in stone but, in historical fiction at least, is undoubtedly inspired by the works of wonderful writers like Rosemary Sutcliff or Wallace Breem. Or even the children’s favourite, Terry Deary – as seen below, chatting with Clive about how horrible history can be, in the authors tent during Malton Roman Festival 2024.
Click on our main menu above for news of similar events, or the latest archaeological finds – not to mention our developing range of other titles, like the new ‘STRATOS’ book.
If you’d like to hear Clive’s recent live interview by the BBC’s Billy Hui (21/07/24) – covering cavalry at Malton, or the famous Roman bathhouse dig at Carlisle – then follow the link below (direct to 1h 33mins. to catch the start): https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0j6t14x
With more yet to come, Clive’s latest – ‘LAWYERS of LUGVALIO’ – was officially launched at the ‘Petuaria Revisited‘ open day in Brough-on-Humber, East Yorkshire. (Site of an ongoing search for the lost Roman theatre he describes in MOSAIC – so watch this space…) To read more, including a preview, click on this link below: https://voredabooks.com/lawyers-of-lugvalio/:
And now Clive’s well on with a sequel, as Justinus & Lydia try to get home to Eboracum before the northern winter gets a grip. One we hope will be as well-received as ‘LAWYERS of LUGVALIO‘ was – like generous reviews from well known Grasmere bookseller, Will Smith (‘CUMBRIA LIFE’ magazine’s Christmas book-choices) or else David Pickup in The Law Society Gazette’s “BEST LAW BOOKS OF THE YEAR” (2021): https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/reviews/best-law-books-of-the-year-2021/5110557.article
