  The Children of Avalon: A Journey Through the Wyrd invites readers into a mythic world where the land hums with ancient stories and the threads of the Wyrd weave past, present, and future into one. 
  Sent by the Daughters of Avalon, Aurelia, Brynn, and Eira leave their marshland home to uncover the secrets of the Thorn Bushes—mystical guardians that hold the truths of the land and the soul. From the shifting currents of the Whisperflow to the shadowed groves of Brinmere and the haunting cliffs of the Mouth of Ffall, their path is anything but straight. The trio must confront visions of their fears and longings, face a Roman empire hungry for dominance, and uncover a past that refuses to be buried. 
  As the rune-stone guides their way, the companions encounter mystical allies like the enigmatic Merryn and his loyal corgi Kess, and face tests from the land itself. Each step brings them closer to understanding the Wyrd—not just as a force around them, but as a spiral of memory within their very souls. 
  A tale of self-discovery, resilience, and ancient magic, The Children of Avalon explores how understanding oneself is key to unearthing the truths of the world. For readers who long for rich folklore, lyrical storytelling, and the timeless clash between the old ways and the empires that try to claim them, this is a journey you won't forget.

  After the death of her husband, Liz McLuckie has taken early retirement and moved to Whitby, a picturesque fishing town on the North Yorkshire coast. She thinks the renovation of two ramshackle fishing cottages will take her mind off things, but she soon discovers Whitby isn’t quite the peaceful retreat she imagined. When she discovers the body of a local Professor near the medieval Abbey, Liz reluctantly finds herself at the center of a murder investigation. The post mortem reveals death by drowning. So how did he get onto the clifftop? And why did he have a fish in his pocket? Liz follows the trail of the murderer, and many red herrings—both literal and metaphorical—in the company of her friends, including an almost-reformed burglar, a disgraced archaeology student, and Nelson the bull terrier, the ugliest (and bravest!) dog in Yorkshire.

  This witty, caustic yet compassionate novel explores the meeting of two unlikely young people in 1923: Amos Bell, the train driver of the Flying Scotsman train, and an opera singer, Madame Neil-Gregory.  This is a true story. 
  Their Northern erratic love story takes place in cities around Britain, as Alice Neil-Gregory (her birth name) builds her career as a coloratura, eventually singing dressed as Elizabeth 1 for George V at the new Wembley Park in London. The couple struggles with changes in society after World War 1,  and try to embrace becoming ‘Bright Young Things’ in a world of jazz music, silent movies, and women’s emancipation. These people break with the conventions of their working class parents, but the burning question, which keeps the reader wanting more, is ‘Will Alice ever marry Amos?’

  It's 1912, and protagonist Helen Fox is a factory worker living in New York's tenements. When tragedy strikes in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, Helen is seduced by the Suffragist cause and is soon immersed, working alongside famous activists. 
   
   
   
  As Helen's involvement with the cause deepens, she encounters myriad sources of tension that test her perseverance: estrangement from her husband, who is blindsided by his wife's sudden activism; ostracization by neighbors; unease at working side by side with wealthier suffragettes; and worry about her children as she leaves them to picket the White House in Washington. 
   
   
   
  The narrative spans World War One and concludes with the triumph of 1919. In a time when the obstacles for women, from any background, were insurmountable, Helen discovers her voice as an independent woman and dreams of equality in a male-dominated society.
