The Purple Thread
My first novel, inspired by a letter sent by Saint Boniface to the Abbess of Wimborne Abbey asking for two men, by name Begiloc and Man to be sent on mission to Thuringia. The letter implies that they were former slaves but could still be disposed of as the Church thought fit. This intrigued me and got e thinking. So The Purple Thread was born. I changed Man's name to Meryn and followed their adventures from Wimborne to Frankia, Thuringia and down the Pilgrim's trail over the Alps to Rome and back. The adventures of two eighth-century Britons can be found in these pages.

Wyrd of the Wolf
My second novel, inspired by the end of paganism in England. The Isle of Wight is considered the last bastion of paganism in England and I wanted to write about that and in doing so created a wonderful female character, Cynethryth. Readers wanted to know about her later life so I was pleased to write a sequel: In the Name of the Mother.
