Audio Book

In a long-ago land inhabited by spirits, anything can happen. A god can be a mountain or a shower of gold; a nymph can be a stream or an echo in the wind. This timeless collection for all ages contains sixteen magical stories of gods, nymphs, kings and monsters.

Quaker Trilogy

My new Quaker novel, Seeking Eden, will be published in 2012, along with new editions of No Shame, No Fear and Forged in the Fire. All three books will have new covers. I hope to be able to show these early next year.

Publication dates are May 2012 for the first two books and June 2012 for Seeking Eden.

Seeking Eden is a story of love, friendship and conflict. It begins in 1683, when the Heywood family, inspired by William Penn’s vision of a more tolerant society, sets sail for the new English colony of Pennsylvania. Sixteen-year-old Josiah, apprenticed to a merchant whose trading voyages take him to the Caribbean, discovers that even in Philadelphia not everyone is free - and he must struggle to stand up for what he believes in.

The Quaker Novels

 

Deep Water




“Jon’s done a terrible thing. And while he says nothing, his friend could be dying…”


Deep Water is a short book that teachers find excellent for stimulating discussion among groups of children. It is now out of print, but you can buy copies of the most recent edition from me on Amazon Marketplace – look for my name under ‘new’.  For details of this book, see Middle Years Fiction.

“Deep Water thrilled the children in my class, stimulating huge amounts of discussion on the rights and wrongs of each character.”
Linda Weir

“This story kept me on the edge of my seat…would make an ideal Year 7 class reader as…there are so many talking points.”
