"I use real events and weave my story in and out"
About Justin
Justin Newland is an author of historical fantasy and secret history thrillers - that's history with a supernatural twist. His stories feature known events and real people from history which are re-told and examined through the lens of the supernatural.
As a species, as Homo Sapiens Sapiens – that's man the twice-wise – how are we doing so far? Where is mankind's spiritual home? What does it look or feel like? Would we recognize it if we saw it? His novels speculate on the human condition and explore the fundamental questions of our existence.
Born three days before the end of 1953, Justin lives with his partner by the sea and in plain sight of the Mendip Hills in Somerset, England.

The Midnight of the Eights
1580 - Nelan Michaels docks at Plymouth after sailing around the world aboard the Golden Hind. He seeks only to master his mystical powers – the mark of the salamander, that mysterious spirit of fire – and reunite with his beloved Eleanor. After delivering a message to Francis Walsingham, he's recruited into the service of the Queen's spymaster, where his astral abilities help him to predict and thwart future plots against the realm.
But in 1588, the Spanish Armada threatens England's shores. So how could the fledgling navy of a small, misty isle on the edge of mainland Europe repulse the greatest fleet in the world? Was the Queen right when she claimed it was divine intervention, saying, 'He blew with His winds, and they were scattered!? Or was it an entirely different intervention – the extraordinary conjunction of coincidences that Nelan's astral powers brought to bear on that fateful Midnight of Eights?
