THE BOOKS
Hello and welcome to my website. It is a great pleasure to introduce you to my writing.
The Sword and the Serpent is the first book in the Sigurd trilogy and I am delighted that readers are anxious for the sequel.
Highland Storm is my first Romance novel, and it being well received has encouraged me to begin a series of Romance novels.
There are other works in progress, and I will be bringing you along on the journeyas the stories unfold.
I hope my readers have as much pleasure reading my stories as I have writing them.
Highland Storm.
A Romantic Adventure
There are not many choices for a spirited, well educated girl in late nineteenth century rural England. When Rebecca’s parents suffer financial collapse, she is married off to her father’s wealthy business partner, a Highlander of considerable power and attraction. Her parents’ future secured, Rebecca soon finds out that her own is less than certain. Bitterly opposed to marrying Logan MacPherson, she has to face the fact that she is falling in love with him, a man haunted by a mysterious past. What dark secrets lie buried in this sombre house? Where did her husband go on their wedding night? What is it that takes him from her and keeps him away from Killmorran?
Sigurd
The Sword and the Serpent
A bold tale of one man's quest to change the world and avenge his father.
Battling to hold onto the New World settlement, Sigurd must break the magical binding of a Celtic priestess known as the Black Witch of Nidaros. Under her protection is Gudrid, abandoned by Sigurd and lusted after by Vidar, the son of his most bitter enemy.
Drawn to Sigurd and to his own fate at the will of the Norwegian king, is Grey-Water, chief of a tribe sworn to keep the invaders from his land.
The twisted web of deception and intrigue is watched over by a mysterious ancient race know as the Old Ones, who orchestrate Sigurd's drama from the invisible realm between the worlds.
They all converge in the mystical Isle of Alba, where Sigurd is forced to confront the witch, Maera, and face at last the repugnant truth of the secret she holds.
