About

I am writing and publishing novels and shorter stories for children aged 4 to 13 years. I have taught poetry and other aspects of creative writing at the Gateway in Shrewsbury, at Burton Manor College on the Wirral, Deputy head of a Shropshire primary school for nearly twenty years, and member of the Society of Authors and the National Association of Writers in Schools. After early retirement, I set up my own art and craft business, became an actress, and then three year training to be a C of E minister and two years to be a Third Order Franciscan. Now I am a full time writer with my work in independent bookshops. Much of my time is spent in writing and author visits to schools, teaching creative writing and reading from my stories.

Description

<p><strong><em>A tragic warrior lost in two worlds... Which one will he choose?</em></strong></p><p>The war in Iraq ended for Freddie when an IED explosion left his mind and body shattered. Once a skilled gamer as well as a capable soldier, he's now a broken warrior, emerging from a medically induced coma to discover he's inhabiting two separate realities.</p><p>The first is his waking world of pain, family trials, and remorse—and slow rehabilitation through the tender care of Becky, his physical therapist. The second is a dark fantasy realm of quests, demons, and magic, which Freddie enters when he sleeps. The lines soon blur for Freddie, not just caught between two worlds, but lost within himself.</p><p>Is he Lieutenant Freddie Williams, a leader of men, a proud officer in the US Army who has suffered such egregious injury and loss? Or is he Frederick, Prince of Stormwind, who must make sense of his horrific visions in order to save his embattled kingdom from the monstrous Horde, his only solace the beautiful gardener, Rebecca, whose gentle words calm the storms in his soul.</p><p>In the conscious world, the severely wounded vet faces a strangely similar and equally perilous mission to that of the prince—a journey along a dark road, haunted by demons of guilt and memory. Can he let patient, loving Becky into his damaged and shuttered heart? It may be his only way back from Hell.</p>
