Lindsey Erith from Driffield, near Cirencester, is a historical romance author and dedicated land steward, taking inspiration from the beautiful Cotswolds countryside she calls home. As a proud landowner, Lindsey has been steadfast in preserving the natural beauty the local area, successfully fending off developers aiming to replace rolling fields with housing estates or solar farms. Her farmland remains a haven for wildlife and a cheerful herd of Jersey cows.
But Lindsey’s battles extend beyond the pastoral — her novels delve into the tumultuous conflicts of the English Civil War. Her debut novel, Mary Florida (2021), and her latest release, Wanton Troopers (2024), bring the drama and romance of the 17th century to life. Drawing on her background as a portrait artist, Lindsey captures the essence of her characters, crafting emotional depth and compelling relationships that keep her readers hooked.
Praised by The Cromwell Association for providing “a very assured window into a world that is lost to us” and delivering a “gripping story,” Wanton Troopers follows the story of a defeated Royalist soldier, searching for new meaning in his life. When he comes across the beautiful Isabella, daughter of his Parliamentarian neighbour, tensions arise. What follows is an exciting tale of seduction, betrayal, burglary and murder, as our hero sets about defying fate.
If you prefer audiobooks, both Lindsey’s novels are available on Audible, narrated by the renowned British actor Clive Hayward and complemented by authentic lute melodies (The Frog Galliard by John Dowland) performed by Sam Brown, leaving you feeling as if you’ve stepped into the past.
Make sure to pick up a copy of Wanton Troopers — described by readers as “the perfect distraction from modern life” and offering “gripping action and sweeping romance,” — and stay tuned for more from Lindsey Erith!Â
