About

I was born in Hampshire in 1958. As a priest of Odin and the guardian of Hiemdall's Hearth I have been giving regular poetry readings, as well as public lectures since 1996. Also, I received a degree in Religious Studies from King's College, London and extended my theological research at Hethrop College. Lastly, my first book, Caliban's Redemption was noted for its literary worth.

Description

<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">What happens when a king loses his prowess? The day Henry IV could finally declare he had vanquished his enemies, he threw it all away with an infamous deed. No English king had executed an archbishop before. And divine judgment was quick to follow. Many thought he was struck with leprosy—God's greatest punishment for sinners. From that point on, Henry's health was cursed and he fought doggedly on as his body continued to betray him—reducing this once great warrior to an invalid. Fortunately for England, his heir was ready and eager to take over. But Henry wasn't willing to relinquish what he had worked so hard to preserve. No one was going to take away his royal prerogative—not even Prince Hal. But Henry didn't count on Hal's dauntless nature, which threatened to tear the royal family apart.</span></p>

Story Behind The Book

&quot;A Haunting Conceit&quot; Iain Sinclair &quot;In this collection of poems and Mini-Sagas, Parry narrates the final journey taken by Caliban from a lesbian wedding in Liverpool, back to a London which does not exist. Along the way, concepts of Anglo-Saxon Witchcraft, Radical Traditionalism and English Ethnicity are discussed as the author unfolds his vision on an endlessly benevolent Spirit World.&quot;
