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 headstrong daughter. A playwright-poet-dancer. An unwilling heiress
A triple eclipse. Unfriendly native fauna. Not to mention the bandits and a sea-monster
All in a totally immersive world. That’s Roots of Rookeri
A student of the inner lands
of human givens and of the past
my writing reflects the treasures I’ve found there.
