About

I am an avid reader and writer of fantasy fiction. As a child I enjoyed the works of Susan Cooper and JRR Tolkien. As an adult I read a wide range of genres, but fantasy is still my favorite, and like millions of others, I enjoy George RR Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice series. I have published a novelette called 'The Viscount's Son' and am currently working on my first novel, a Young Adult fantasy called 'The Borderlands'.

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

The Viscount's Son started life as a webfiction blog serial. But over time, I became more intrigued by the story that evolved and thought readers might too. I decided to give it more love and attention and develop it into a novelette. Once I finished the story it continued to intrigue me and I have begun work on a sequel, which I hope to release in 2014. This will be a novel.
