Novels & Works in Progress

Writing is an expression of imagination and faith, as well as honesty. I enjoy writing about people. I enjoy putting my imagination into the pages of history to bring facts and dreams together. This page is an introduction to some of the people about whom you will one day read in my novels. That I like them is no surprise. If you want to read about them, I've done my work.

Traitor's Daughter has now been published by Eres and is available at major online book retailers. See the short piece below for the link to purchase the book directly or download a sample. You can read the first review at goodreads.com.

Pendyffryn: The Conquerors

This series marks the beginning of my writing about Wales. It grew from a fascination and sudden, deep connection with a culture and language I had never known to exist but discovered one blistering, dry summer as I wandered in ruins and recognized a strength of will to survive that few of its neighbors can claim. When I first began to write this series, I was mesmerized by a sense of mistaken romanticism that had, in fact, no relation to the historical 'reality' of Wales. These books are a celebration of the spirit to survive and withstand, against overwhelming and seemingly formidable odds; to resist enemies until they surrender to your superior strengths of courage and determination.

Traitor's Daughter

An historical romance set in 10th Century Wales during the reign of Hywel Dda, the Lawmaker: like all families, Heledd Bannawg's has its feuds. Condemned to bond servitude and forbidden to wed, Heledd's worst nightmare becomes her only hope. Traitor's Daughter was the first historical romance I completed. By the time I began to write this book, I had lived in Wales for several years. The story is set five decades after Pendyffryn: The Conquerors, at a time when treaties between Wessex and Hywel Dda had stemmed the tide of blood, violence and disruption. Traitor's Daughter is also available at All Romance eBooks, Amazon at all their sites worldwide and Barnes & Noble.

Thank you to everyone who has read and commented on the first chapter of Traitor's Daughter. Your thoughtful generosity is much appreciated.

Here are a few of the comments I've received about this book:
"I like the premise of the story and the setting a lot. It's not an era that's been done a lot, so that's a good thing. I like how manipulative Alys is."
" Well researched and written."
" And now you have left me hanging, you temptress! "
" I loved your characters."
"I enjoyed reading this awesome book." read more...
