STOP PRESS!! Buried treasure!

Some great news about the treasure. The largest ever haul of Anglo-Saxon gold is going to stay in the UK, and will be displayed near to where it was found in Staffordshire. This is brilliant – if the funding hadn’t been found, the treasure could well have been sold abroad. I like the idea that people local to Staffordshire will easily be able to see this amazing pile of gold. Who knows – perhaps one of the museum visitors might even be a descendant of the person who buried it in a field over 1,000 years ago.

Stop press! Have you heard about the treasure? A massive pile of Anglo-Saxon gold has just been dug up in a field – I think it’s the most exciting archaeological find in almost 100 years, and what’s so brilliant is that this gold could have been buried by one of the characters in Bloodline or Bloodline Rising - experts believe it dates from the exact same period my books are set in!
