Melissa Addey

Hello! Would you like a free historical novella? Visit my website at www.melissaaddey.com and pick up your copy of The Cup, a prequel novella in the Moroccan Empire series. I write historical fiction across several different eras, as I love to research new times and places. Come with me to: Ancient Rome: meet the backstage team of the Colosseum, tasked with creating spectacular gladiatorial Games. 11th century Morocco: four women's lives intertwine to tell the story of a rising empire across North Africa and Spain. 18th century China: the gilded lives of four imperial concubines, each struggling to find her place in the Forbidden City. And a new era coming soon... press the 'Follow' button above to be sent an update when new books come out. You can see some book trailers and videos of research trips on this page. I hope you enjoy your travels with me - please do leave even a brief review if you have, it helps my stories find new readers and I read every one and am always touched by your kind words and by you taking the time. I've been the Leverhulme Trust Writer in Residence at the British Library and won the Novel London award. I have a PhD in Creative Writing from the University of Surrey and for my thesis I wrote about the balance between fact and fiction in historical fiction, while writing my novel The Garden of Perfect Brightness.
