Interpretive historical fiction is both difficult and fun. Whereas there a few known facts, and some ideas that have become the ‘received wisdom’ and hence unchallenged, I have drawn on many published supportive and contrary opinions and conclusions to explore this tumultuous episode in the distant history of the island of Britain.
This book tells the story of how two Romanised young Welshmen, taken to ensure the loyalty to Rome of their fathers, fell into circumstances that led to a full scale rebellion that took Britain out of the Roman empire for ten years at the end of the Third Century. Their names became Carausius and Allectus, and both declared themselves as emperors in turn. Very different personalities, with very different skills, these led to increasing tensions between them, and a dramatic outcome was inevitable.

Written in four parts, one for each protagonist – Mary, Billy, and Tommy - plus a final chapter when the brothers are united, The Soldier and the Orphan follows the unpredictable life journeys of each protagonist as they search for love, truth and their family.

I am anxiously awaiting the publication of the third and final work in Cheryle Coapstick’s “My Mama’s Mama” trilogy. Ms. Coapstick has produced an outstanding duo of exciting and entertaining novels. Will #3 continue to thrill, inform, and engage the reader as “Alaska’s Firy” and “About Miss Ruth” have? I am counting on it. Through Miss Ruth’s nearly lifelong Alaskan odyssey, I’ve become more eager to learn about Sitka and its multi-ethnic population of adventure seekers. By blending this salty, damp, northern wilderness with history and hardy risk-takers, Cheryle has taken the reader on a wild, sometimes sentimental, and often hazardous journey visiting real places and populating them with both familiar and fictional characters. It is at once a voyage, then a trek, and finally a home--the trip is masterful. Thanks to Cheryle, I have seen, felt, and come to know Sitka and its men, women, and children. Let the story continue; I’m ready to go back. Bring on book #3!!
