Join me, Claire Ridgway, as I sit down with historian and bestselling author Toni Mount to celebrate the release of The Colour of Darkness — book 13 in the gripping Sebastian Foxley Medieval Mystery series.



In this fascinating interview, Toni Mount takes us behind the scenes of her writing process, research into 15th-century London, and the creation of her beloved protagonist, artist and reluctant sleuth Seb Foxley.



We discuss everything from:

- How Seb came to life

- What it was like to research crime and justice in Edward IV’s reign

- Balancing historical accuracy with storytelling

- The origins and future of the series



And what readers can expect next!



The Colour of Darkness plunges us into a sweltering London gripped by plague, suspicion, and witchcraft, where nothing is as it seems, and danger is never far from home.



Whether you’re already a fan of Seb Foxley or love medieval historical fiction with a twist of mystery, you’ll love hearing from Toni about her inspiration, process, and plans.



Available now in paperback and on Kindle — and free to read with Kindle Unlimited!
