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

On November 15th 2004 I suffered a horrific accident, falling 30ft down to a concrete slab. I suffered a left broken leg and head trauma, causing vestibuliar damage, causing my head to literally spin. It took years for me to recover and during 2005 is when I decided to return to my writting. I found a spiritual sense and presense within me that took me over, like God had a plan for me and that plan of course was writting again and continuing with my artwork (Creamic sculptures). It's still amazing that God spared me on that day, returning to nearly the same physical state I was in before the accident. I wanted to write a story where opinion overrides passion and passion evokes opinion. A story that faces the reader to look at life changing decisions-real delimmas. Women's issues are an explosive topic and hold an emotional bond that reflects in our everyday lives.
