About

I I'm an art teacher, freelance writer, dancer and avid gardener. I've written three non-fiction books which have been published by small presses. All three are spiritual in nature. When God Speaks is a journey through the landscape of God's powerful promises. Transformed--Inspiring Stories of Freedom relates the amazing tranformation of men caught in the bonds of addiciton and released by the power of God.Letters to God on a Prodigal Son is a journal of a mother who cries out to God in prayer for her addicted son and finds the true source of peace and hope. I'm working on a spiritual warfare novel to be released in the fall.

Description

<p><span><span>Harold Godwineson, the Last Anglo-Saxon King, owed everything to his father. Who was this Godwine, first Earl of Wessex and known as the Kingmaker? Was he an unscrupulous schemer, using King and Witan to gain power? Or was he the greatest of all Saxon Earls, protector of the English against the hated Normans? The answer depends on who you ask. He was befriended by the Danes, raised up by Canute the Great, given an Earldom and a wife from the highest Danish ranks. He sired nine children, among them four Earls, a Queen and a future King. Along with his power came a struggle to keep his enemies at bay, and Godwine's best efforts were brought down by the misdeeds of his eldest son Swegn. Although he became father-in-law to a reluctant Edward the Confessor, his fortunes dwindled as the Normans gained prominence at court. Driven into exile, Godwine regathered his forces and came back even stronger, only to discover that his second son Harold was destined to surpass him in renown and glory.</span></span></p>
