Story Behind The Book
My first novel, TRG was inspired by my INdian Arts customers that stopped by our gallery and were looking for ancient spiritual connections with the earth through our handmade items. I wondered why a similar, ancient connection with a more elemental spirtituality might not exist through our European ancestry as well. Being half-Irish through my Grandmother, and having a keen interest in Celtic and pre-Celtic religious thinking, I created outcast shepherd Finn O'Deirg.
Reviews
<p>Highly Detailed and Wonderful to Read!</p>
<p>The Red Gate brings the story of a family to the reader in such a way that they will feel as if they are actually in the surroundings being described. From start to finish, it is emotionally charged, highly detailed with descriptions so real it is amazing.</p>
<p>The plot is original, well crafted and each character is brought to life in a special way. There is tragedy, love, emotion. So much but yet nothing falls flat. No reader will be disappointed with this first book by Mr. Sutton and they will most certainly be awaiting the next.</p>
