The five-book series The Spinner’s Game AVAILABLE on Amazon
Set in the between-time, when hunter-gatherers turned to settled agriculture, when spirits and demons morphed to gods, the five books of The Spinner’s Game takes the story of Kerrid, wise woman, shaman, across continents and weaves through ages fraught with floods and droughts to become the prototype of our most ancient myths.
LEARNING TO FLY
e-book and paperback available on Amazon
Medievalist Neve is delighted to find herself surrounded by swirling colours and foot-stomping music in Regin-jarl’s mead hall… even if her presence is dependent on the memories of a banished angel.
Prompted by the angel to find the truth of her grandfather, locked in a cage to be food for vampiric grimmen, trapped beneath a dragon… life isn’t fun for Neve… though she does like the music!
ROOTS OF ROOKERI

An astrologer-priest, a judge’s daughter, a playwright-dancer and an unwilling heiress…
A triple eclipse, a sea-monster, not to mention the bandits…
A student of the inner lands
of human givens and of the past
my writing reflects the treasures I’ve found there.
