Jake Conley
Jake Conley, my psychic investigator gave me the opportunity to deal with some serious twenty-first century issues, such as the environment, racism, unscrupulous artefact collection and power seeking. All the while, thanks to Jake’s retrocognitive ability, not deserting my preferred Anglo-Saxon period. Being able to witness the pre-Conquest centuries through modern eyes, makes Jake’s sorties into the past a vivid experience for him and, I hope, also for my readers.
The Jake Conley series of six novels draws on fantasy very heavily. Readers who enjoy that genre should find satisfaction here as Jake can travel in time, bind minds and shape-shift. He comes across the old Saxon gods, deals with seers and meets good and bad elves, a unicorn, a seraph and demons.
I never lose sight of historical authenticity, amidst this fantastic array of characters, so readers accustomed to my historical novels should still find material to interest them. As an added bonus, there is a great deal of archaeology thrown in. For example, the artefact of the fourth book, The Snape Ring can be admired in the British Museum as well as on the cover of my book.
I hope you enjoy my modern-day secret agent, Jake Conley, loosely based on the author, with all his faults. Except that Jake has an elfin beauty that I can only envy! NEWS Pinions of Gold and The Serpent Wand are both on pre-sale (publishing dates July 26 and August 25 respectively).
