We can’t believe it’s already 18 months since Ocelot Press went live. Over the next few weeks we’ll be celebrating with a series of blog posts and character interviews and there’ll be a chance to buy some of our e-books for discounted prices. So definitely watch this space.

For starters, this coming week, each of us will take over the Ocelot blog for a day to bring you information on the background, setting and salient facts of one of our books. You’ll get an insider’s view of the story behind the book – and each of them makes fascinating reading.

Nancy Jardine’s ‘The Taexali Game’ Joins Ocelot Press

We’re excited that another historical fiction title from Nancy Jardine has joined Ocelot Press this autumn. This one has a time travel twist. The story of ‘The Taexali Game’ centres on an interactive computer game that takes the players back to the time of the Romans in Britain and their attempts to subdue the North of the island.

Here’s the blurb:

When the Rubidium Time-Leap flips Aran, Brian and Fianna back to AD 210 the reality of the game is incredible. They have a task list to fulfil, which includes solving a local mystery, but it’s petrifying when Ancient Roman Legions heap death and destruction on the Taexali Celts of Caledonia.

Giving help to Taexali and Romans alike becomes a lethal assignment—some Celtic chiefs are as foul as the Ancient Roman Emperor Severus and his beastly son Caracalla. Dicing with death becomes the norm for the time travellers.

Will they complete the mission and return home unscathed?

The Taexali Game is available from all Amazon stories. The Kindle version is on pre-order until 30th September; buy now and pay nothing until the book downloads on publication day. The paperback is available now.

Using his captive, Nara, as a political bargain with the Selgovae comes with impossible stipulations. Battle at Whorl – Iron Age tribes against the Romans – is inevitable.
