When Sally Schofield and her husband, Tristan, buy the house that Sally has always dreamt about, Sally thinks they have found the perfect place to live out the rest of their lives.

Unbeknownst to her, the sleepy Dorset Village of Upper Chilling has been a battleground between good and evil for the last 800 years, and destiny now sees Sally as part of the final conflict.

Finding herself increasingly aware of supernatural forces at work both in the village and in her life, Sally must unlock the secrets of the Upper Chilling’s past to save her future dreams. In a battle that she could never win by herself, could Sally’s only hope lie with the mysterious ‘Lady in Blue’?

Born in London, Robert’s family emigrated to New Zealand when he was eleven.


Working for forty years as an engineer, Robert used his creativity initially for mechanically related projects. As time went by, Robert was eventually persuaded by his friends and family to start turning some of the many plots that he had developed over the years into meaningful dialogue, including this novel, The Shadow of the Cross.

    An intriguing novel with an ongoing supernatural theme in which the author's fresh style of writing will continually keep you guessing where the plot is leading. Only at the end will the initial chapters fully make sense, as a thought-provoking twist comes to light. With relatable characters and interspersed with snippets of Robert's sure-to-smile humour, ‘The Shadow of the Cross’ fresh approach to literacy will keep the reader entertained until the very end.
