On the left you will find links to all the pages of the site, full of interesting facts about me and my writing and the various periods in which my books are set. There is an account, specially written for this site, of the true history of John Rawlings and how I first met him. And there's a regularly updated letter with all my news - which will tell you why I have been rather quiet of late!
From time to time I have speaking engagements, or attend conventions, and when I do, you will find the details here. If you are in the neighbourhood, I hope you will come along - and make sure you come and say hello.
This is where you will always find news of my latest books; below you will find news of our old friend John Rawlings! I hope you enjoy my books, and that I will hear from you at deryn [at] derynlake.com .
Now you can also find me on Facebook!
What next for John Rawlings? I had an email from a reader recently, who asked me how many more Rawlings I intended to write - and the answer is two. Then the series must end. And with the exception of one character, nobody is going to die, but there will be quite a lot of family upheaval before the final curtain comes down.
The first of those two is Death at the Wedding Feast, which was published by Severn House on 25th August; it is available for order from Amazon, or from any bookshop, quoting the ISBN: 978-0-7278-8086-4.
You can also read the previous adventure of John Rawlings, Death and the Black Pyramid, in paperback, or listen to it as an audio book. At the summons of the irresistible Elizabeth di Lorenzi, John Rawlings travels once more to Devon, and his journey brings him into contact with all sorts of colourful characters - including a bare knuckle fighter!
