Bart Cline was born in California, USA.

After finishing school he studied film making before abruptly leaving the country to travel. His experiences on the road form the basis for many scenes from his first novel, Wanderlove.

Instead of returning to the USA as he had planned, he stayed in Europe for another year, and then another, before marrying and settling in northern England. Always restless, short careers in publishing, graphics, and IT kept bread on the table.

When his wife passed away due to cancer, he re-thought his life and turned to writing as a career.

Mr Cline has two children and is remarried.

Copout, Mr Cline's 2013 novel, is a thought-provoking police thriller about a detective who works out the clues to his cases in his dreams.

His newest book, Send Him Victorious, is an amazing epic thriller about what would happen if today's kings and queens ruled with absolute authority as in the past. How would it affect his or her family, country, and the world? Buy and read to find out!

King Alfred of Great Britain believes a king should rule his country rather than merely enjoy the good life in the palace.

He wants to lead his troops into battle rather than leave it to the generals, make life better for his people rather than entrusting it to parliament.

But when he achieves his goal of creating a British New Order, he finds it is only the beginning. The risk he has taken comes with consequences.

The King’s philandering son Prince Adrian finds he cannot handle his responsibility in the New Order, despairing to go back to the way things were.

Alfred’s headstrong daughter Princess Frances is jealous of her older brother’s position as heir to the throne, wanting a greater part in the New Order than her father had envisioned.

The scheming Archbishop Woollie Youngblood sees an opportunity to remove the King and claim power for himself as Lord Protector.

Army private Jimmy deals with the fallout to the common man of the sweeping changes wrought upon his country, as a civil war breaks out between the King’s supporters and everyone else.

But could even a wise King have foreseen the international opposition to his plan as he incurs the wrath of the mighty US president?

A incredible saga of global proportions which will grip you until the last page.

------------

Devastated after being fired from the force following a violent crime, he is unable to officially investigate the incident and bring the perpetrators to justice. Spiralling into dejection, Donovan’s life could be considered no more successful or happy than a train wreck. His only hope is the affection of a woman, who also happens to be his best friend, and who does not want to engage in a romance with him.

But each night, Donovan's dreams grant him a release—living out fantasised versions of the movies he so enjoys, while gaining insights into the crime—and solace, enjoying the good things that reality denies him. There he’s successful, happy, and free, until his world of dreams crosses over into his reality with deadly consequences. Can he fight his way back from the brink of oblivion, save the life of the woman he is in love with (and who is not in love with him), and stop the terrorists—and will it be worth his while?

Dreams, classic movie genres, and reality meet in a dangerous cocktail.

Wanderlove 14-Feb-2013

by Bart Cline

( 3 )

£2.29

What would you do if you were a traveller with severe wanderlust, out of your country for the first time, and you fell in love?

And what would you do if you were separated from your new love after only a few days?

Would you search an entire continent?

Europe is a big place when you’ve lost someone.

It’s worse if you’re on the run.

Worse still if you’re guilty.

It doesn’t get any easier when your only friend is a drug addicted vagabond.

Colleen is a naïve young American touring Europe just after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Florian is the experienced traveller she falls in love with. He encourages her to do something she knows she shouldn’t, and then disappears. Colleen, carrying the resultant load of guilt alone, sets out to find him. With the entire European continent to search, she realises she doesn’t really know that much about him, having only a few vague leads to follow, with only her drug-addicted friend for company. A year later, having confronted her guilt and learned some uncomfortable truths about herself, will she still love Florian? Will she ever love anyone or anything again?

A novel of love and travel.
