Fatal Rivalry: Part Three of The Last Great Saxon Earls
Description
<p>In 1066, the rivalry between two brothers brought England to its knees. When Duke William of Normandy landed at Pevensey on September 28, 1066, no one was there to resist him. King Harold Godwineson was in the north, fighting his brother Tostig and a fierce Viking invasion. How could this have happened? Why would Tostig turn traitor to wreak revenge on his brother?<br />The Sons of Godwine were not always enemies. It took a massive Northumbrian uprising to tear them apart, making Tostig an exile and Harold his sworn enemy. And when 1066 came to an end, all the Godwinesons were dead except one: Wulfnoth, hostage in Normandy. For two generations, Godwine and his sons were a mighty force, but their power faded away as the Anglo-Saxon era came to a close.</p>
Story Behind The Book
I was born on a tiny farm on the south coast of England and went on to become a fairly successful theatrical photographer in London. I retired (young I hasten to add) from the media rat-race and now work part time in education....the other part of my time is spent either writing or riding and training my two horses.
I write fantasy.....nothing 'high' or even remotely so...as I have a serious Elf allergy. I set my stories in our own world as I think they can be more disturbing that way.
Some have accused me of writing for young adults.....but I write to please myself.....that should tell you how mature I am!
