Prospero Books
WELCOME to the Prospero Authors’ Collective, where hand-selected books from hand-selected authors guarantee a great read every time. We may be small – and new! – but our range is wide. These are real books. All are available as ebooks (at very reasonable prices) and many can be had in print format too. (Some have been in print for years!)
Take a glance at our nest of authors and at our current and forthcoming titles. It’s hard to make an impact against the big boys and get known, and that’s why we need your help – so please LIKE and SHARE us, and pass on our address to your friends. Thank you!

And don’t miss the first in our drama series – the “lost” play: LOVE AND FATE by Martin Zerco, written in 1848.
Here are 3 more of our recent titles!
Nick fancied her at school but nothing came of it. Six years later he meets up with her again. But no sooner are they back together than she is dead. Did she fall or was she pushed? He looks for the answer in the dark and complex labyrinth of food politics while, meanwhile, his band is preparing for its biggest ever opportunity – a slot at the world-famous Glastonbury Festival. If he can make it. Read all about it! RIGHT HERE
It’s 2001, the start of a new millennium. Disease sweeps the nation, people are quarantined, the government fumbles. The weather is extraordinary and people grumble about illegal immigrants.
Britain’s Foot and Mouth Disease will cost billions and see the death of hundreds of thousands of animals. Farmers will lose their livelihoods and some will kill themselves. When the government is accused of incompetence the General Election will be postponed. All this before September, and that other tragedy on the other side of the world. 2001 was a lifetime ago, yet it could be today.
Relive that extraordinary year: right here.
And for book collectors:
