For thousands of years, Glastonbury Tor, or Glaston Tor, has been a place of myth, legend, and religious devotion, a place of secrets – the ancient Isle of Avalon, a place associated with the very dawn of Christianity in the British Isles …
The Glaston Chronicles series combines time travel, history, adventure, and religious themes. It focuses on the Marian shrine of Glastonbury in England, a place of legend and religious devotion, long associated with figures such as Joseph of Arimathea and King Arthur.
The three books newly republished are The Glaston Secret, Journey to Castle Raven and The Excalibur Mystery. The first two books were previously published by Theotokos Books under different titles, but publication has now been assumed by Blue Army Press, the publishing division of the World Apostolate of Fatima, USA.

Future Glaston Chronicles books
The next Glaston Chronicles book will be a continuation of Book Three, in which Matt and his cousins enter a future in which the Reformation failed to succeed, a completely different world. Subsequent books will hopefully include an adventure involving Joseph of Arimathea and the Holy Grail, and there are also plans for a further book set in a future United States.
p.s. the author has also written a number of non-fiction books – you can see info about them here …

I’ve really been looking forward to the third installment to the Glaston series… But It’s been so long since I’ve heard any update on it. Is it coming out?
Thanks Edward – yes, there has been quite a delay, but it is due to be published by Blue Army Press in the US, shortly – hopefully before Christmas! They are also republishing the first two books – and I have started work on the fourth book. Thanks for your interest in the Glaston Chronicles. God bless, Donal
