The Sapwood Tales

Join Lucy, Doe, and Colin on a wild adventure in the mysterious world of the Sapwoods, where we meet strange tribes-folk and cast special spells, explore old mines, and invent clever devices, and fight for our lives using only our wits and a rather large knobbly parsnip - and it all begins when we discover a rare amber gem with a magical Sprite trapped inside. We travel to a far-away town to seek help from a Great Magician, but when we get there, something happens, and everything changes!

Will Lucy swap the gem for a pair of funny gloves and a new pencil case? Will Doe hop about like a rabbit? And will Colin splat-a-duck with his new Three-Bolt-Catapult?

All these questions - and more! - will be answered in The Sapwood Tales – The Adventures of Lucy, Doe, and Colin, a story stuffed with dim-witted humour and a lot of giggling.

The Satin Moth

This novel is a powerful, grim, historical fantasy story, based around the slave trade of the 17^th and 18^th centuries and its repercussions on a family whose wealth is built on it. The first part of the story introduces the present-day 10^th Lord of Eastlyn, Robert Montague, and his family, who continue to endure the consequences of a voodoo hex placed upon them centuries before. The second part describes the 1^st Lord of Eastlyn, George Montague, a wealthy but cruel and callous slave trader, and the enslavement of an Amazonian warrior named Nabila. Much of the novel’s strength is rooted in its foregrounding, which depicts man’s inhumanity to man and the vile and heinous nature of slavery. The final part shows the effect the curse has had on the Montague family and describes the actions and courage of young cousins who set out to free themselves from the voodoo hex placed upon them. The twists and turns that take place as a result are comprehensive and will provide entertaining relief for the reader following this tale of human suffering and vindication.

The Secret Life of Squirrels

The grey squirrels on the south coast of Hampshire are having food problems. It’s winter and there is little food – raiding the local bird table is not an option. A big seagull guards the food for the smaller birds. What can the greys do? Someone finds a video on the animal social media ‘Metube’ which claims that the trees growing green acorns grow them all year round – an evergreen food source!

The problem is that greys aren’t allowed on the Isle of Wight where the trees grow. The red squirrels and humans don’t want them there either, as Rufus, red squirrel leader, tells them in no uncertain terms! 

The greys take to boats and try many weird and wonderful ideas to cross the great blue water that separates them. But the reds fight back big time. Who will win?

The Secret of a Seminarian

Sergio was born into a traditional Christian family in the ’80s. His mother, a devout Catholic, was always his protection; she always loved and protected him, and his father was the man he always wanted to become in the future and his inspiration. However, as he grew older, his mother began to see something different in him, and this became more evident as he passed puberty; she saw his sadness and his way of being, and felt more ashamed of her own son. Little by little, the love that his mother had for him was changing; Sergio noticed his mother was more distant and the sweet words of affection that she had said before turned into frightened looks. All the while his father harassed him more and more, reaching the point of several times attacking him in the heat of emotion. In the hope of being able to change him, his family decided to take him to a seminary so that any demon he had inside him could be removed, but when he arrived at the seminary, Sergio found two very different men who completely change his life and his vision of seeing the world.
