Should I read The Erdington Mysteries in order?Yes, but it's not imperative. The Custard Corpses, The Automobile Assassination, and The Secret Sauce feature the same detective but aren't connected aside from the occasional reference.
-
Which Saxon-era book should I start with?If you wish to read chronologically, then Men of Iron is where you should start your journey through Saxon England with MJ Porter. The books weren't written chronologically, however, as I have a tendency to work backwards.

Where can I buy author-signed copies?Check out my SumUp store: https://mjporterauthor.sumupstore.com

Do any of the books feature the same characters?Yes, The Eagle of Mercia Chronicles and The Last King/The Ninth Century Series feature Icel, both as a young man (in The Eagle of Mercia Chronicles) and then as an older character (in The Last King books). There are also strands woven through the series, most notably, the eagle emblem for the books about Saxon Mercia.
