Just One Damned Thing After Another

by Jodi Taylor

Description

“History is just one damned thing after another” - Arnold Toynbee

A madcap new slant on history that seems to be everyone's cup of tea...

Behind the seemingly innocuous façade of St Mary's, a different kind of historical research is taking place. They don't do 'time-travel' - they 'investigate major historical events in contemporary time'. Maintaining the appearance of harmless eccentrics is not always within their power - especially given their propensity for causing loud explosions when things get too quiet.

Meet the disaster-magnets of St Mary's Institute of Historical Research as they ricochet around History. Their aim is to observe and document - to try and find the answers to many of History's unanswered questions...and not to die in the process.

But one wrong move and History will fight back - to the death. And, as they soon discover - it's not just History they're fighting.

Follow the catastrophe curve from eleventh-century London to World War I, and from the Cretaceous Period to the destruction of the Great Library at Alexandria. For wherever Historians go, chaos is sure to follow in their wake ...

Author Biography

What Could Possibly Go Wrong (The Chronicles of St Mary's Book 6) eBook: Jodi Taylor: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store







Jodi Taylor (who also writes as Isabella Barclay) is, and always has been, a History Nut. Her disinclination to get out of bed for anything after 1485 can only be overcome by massive amounts of chocolate, and sometimes, if it's raining, not even then.

She wanted to write a book about time-travel that was a little different, and not having a clue how difficult this would make her book to classify, went ahead and slung in elements of history, adventure, comedy, romance, tragedy and anything else she could think of. Her advice to booksellers is to buy huge numbers of her books and just put one on every shelf.

The result is the story of the St Mary's Institute of Historical Research and the nutters who work there.

In order, The Chronicles of St Mary's consist of the following titles -

Just One Damned Thing After Another
A Symphony of Echoes
A Second Chance
A Trail Through Time.
No Time Like the Past
What Could Possibly Go Wrong? will be released in August 2015 and is available for pre-order now.

Also available are three short stories -

When A Child is Born
Roman Holiday
Christmas Present.

Her first romantic novel, also available on Amazon, is entitled The Nothing Girl, and the story of Jenny and Russell is continued in the short story, Little Donkey.

Not knowing when to stop, she thought she'd try her hand at an historical romance novel as well. A Bachelor Establishment by Isabella Barclay is available for pre-order now and will be published in June 2015.
