Troubling Days

In these troubled times with lockdown and reevaluating our lives, we at Piccadilly Towers still maintain our publishing schedule, and keeping our prices down. There are 100s of books to choose from and the genres range from Westerns, War, Historical and Crime. We would like it if you could support what the governments are saying (with an added twist):


Take care everyone,

A Promise of Glory - New Cover Design

CALL TO ARMS - A sweeping saga which traces the turbulent history of American through the lives of men and women whose deeds and dreams would forever mark the world ... written by Frederick Nolan.

When the books were first published, for some unfathomable reason Bantam Books split the books. They published A PROMISE OF GLORY and BLIND DUTY under Frederick Nolan but the third in the series FIELD OF HONOR was under the name of Danielle Rockfern. Go figure!

So at Piccadilly we are putting them out as intended by the author. A Promise of Glory will be released on March 08, 2018, and BLIND DUTY and FIELD OF HONOR will follow on April 8 and May 8.


We have designed a new jacket for A PROMISE OF GLORY - which better depicts the time period of the book. And once again turning to Don Stivers for a superb illustration.

Celebrating our Fifth Birthday

It all began on 9th May 2012 when Bodie 1: Trackdown by Neil Hunter was published and thus launched Piccadilly Publishing. Now, five years down the line, we have published over 250 books. We greatly appreciate all your support over the years. So, raise a shot of whiskey and help us toast this landmark. Here's to the next five years!
 

The book still gets reviews on Amazon such as this FIVE STAR rated latest:

I was looking for a hard hitting western and I found one. If you want a sanitised version of the Old West, this one won't be for you. If you're looking for a man's man who pulls no punches and makes no apology, buy it now and enjoy.

Announcing a new series from PP!

 
 
The publishing business seems to be all doom and gloom lately. We're told that book sales are down, the number of people who read for pleasure is shrinking by the day etc etc., But I'm delighted to tell you that here at Piccadilly Towers, things are going from strength to strength.

To prove it, we launch YET ANOTHER NEW and ALL-ORIGINAL, NEVER-BEFORE-PUBLISHED series in May - CROSSED ARROWS, by Patrick E. Andrews!

The fact is, we enjoyed Patrick's first LONG-KNIVES book, CROSSED ARROWS, so much that we asked him to make it into a series.

As if that wasn't enough, it also has covers by Tony Masero.

Watch out for CROSSED ARROWS 1: ROCKY MOUNTAIN WARPATH, coming MAY 01, 2016:

Captain Mack Hawkins, Lieutenant Ludlow Dooley and the Kiowa-Comanche Detachment of Indian Scouts are sent on a hazardous assignment up into the Rocky Mountains of Montana. Their orders are to protect railroad surveyors coming under fire from hidden snipers. But when the detachment arrives, they find themselves caught up in a deadly crossfire. Mysterious threats and baffling situations abound that are intertwined with gun battles and ambushes in the mountainous crags and forests of the Rockies. To further complicate matters, a revolution by the Métis—a people of mixed French and Indian blood—against the Canadian government unexpectedly involves Hawkins and his men.

The Sergeant comes to Piccadilly!

Piccadilly Publishing is delighted to announce that they have acquired the ebook rights to one of the great series of the 1980s -- THE SERGEANT by Gordon Davis. Beginning in 01 October 2013 we'll be issuing all nine books in the series, this time under the author's real name, and all featuring covers painted by Tony Masero.

THE SERIES
The series consist of 9 books over a 3-year period beginning in 1980. Mahoney, we learn, has often been promoted and busted in his long career. During the period of the Novels, May 1944 to December 1944, Mahoney is a Master Sergeant, that serves in special missions with the Rangers, and as a Company Sergeant, Platoon Leader, and Squad Leader in the "Hammerhead" Division. Mahoney, with his always present side-kick, Corporal Edward Cranepool, become involved in several of the key battles for the liberation of France, and invasion of Germany. Mahoney, as a US Army Ranger aides the French Resistance before, during, and immediately after the June 6, 1944 D-Day invasions of France. Later, tired of always finding himself involved in "suicide" missions, Mahoney and Cranepool transfer to the "Hamerhead" Division in General George S Patton's 3rd Army. With the Hammerheads, Mahoney participates in the battles of the hedgerows after the Normandy invasions, the liberation of Paris, the crossing of the Moselle and battle for Metz, and the defense of Bastogne.
In the first book in the series, Death Train, which takes place in the summer of 1944, Mahoney is a US Army Ranger working behind German lines with the French Resistance, "maquis", to disrupt a rail-road line that will be essential to German troop and supply movement after the D-Day invasion on Omaha Beach. The book establishes Mahoney as a tough, career Army, individual, and an experienced combat veteran that had seen action since the initial US amphibious landings in 1942 at Morocco.
The series ends with Book 9, Hammerhead, circa late December 1944. Mahoney, disgusted by all the death he has seen, and killing he has done, is praying in a small Catholic church. Facing the altar, with his back to the church, he is nearly killed, before two of his arch enemies end up shooting each other. After determining that one of the men has died and the other likely did as well, Mahoney returns to his prayer.
