Welcome to the website for VOREDA BOOKS, a small but perfectly formed micro-publisher specialising in quality fiction set in Roman Britain. Plus some contrasting non-fiction too – automotive to start with… Either way, home to a growing range of attractive books which always give pleasure. Plus a few nice maps…
Our niche is hardly cut in stone but, in fiction at least, is undoubtedly inspired by the works of wonderful writers like Rosemary Sutcliff or Wallace Breem. Click on the main menu above for news of latest archaeological finds – not to mention our developing range of other titles.
With much more yet to come, the official launch for Clive’s LAWYERS of LUGVALIO was in 2021 at the ‘Petuaria Revisited‘ open day, Brough-on-Humber, East Yorkshire. Site of a search for the lost Roman theatre he described in MOSAIC. And in 2024, we know he’s well on with a sequel to LAWYERS of LUGVALIO, just as Justinus & Lydia try to battle their way home to Eboracum….
One we hope will be as well-received as LAWYERS of LUGVALIO. Which, as the start to a new series* – and apart from individual readers – got generous reviews from Grasmere bookseller Will Smith (December 2021 ‘CUMBRIA LIFE’ magazine’s Christmas choices.) Or David Pickup in The Law Society Gazette’s “BEST LAW BOOKS OF THE YEAR” 2021:

*‘Start to a a series’ means Clive’s at work on its sequel. Charting the next instalment of Lydia & Justinus’s arduous journey along Britannia’s northern frontier. It’s due for completion “sometime in 2024” (he says…)
