About

My name is Su Williams, author of the award winning, YA paranormal fiction Dream Weaver Trilogy and founder of Dream Weaver Novels & Promotion. Generally, I write in the YA genre but I believe strongly in the pay-it-forward theory and supporting indie authors, so I also publish anthologies with authors from around the world. I'm very hands on with all my work, doing my own edits, formatting, covers, and marketing/promotion. Though I'd never claim to be an expert in any of this, I do alright and am building a list of authors who trust me with their babies. I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with my husband Ben, son Josiah, and daughter Sarah. And have two grown children, Jack and Aundraic. Our home usually teems with a menagerie of critters that currently includes: Kooper (the Poophead) a spazzy beagle who has no concept of personal space; a demon-spawn-from-hell kitten, Cana; an obnoxious and snuffly tortoiseshell, Necco (yeah, it means cat in Japanese); and a crested gecko named Reid (after Spencer on Criminal Minds.)

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>
