NEW: A Little Something... Just For You

The first collection of short stories and a few poems

 

The Rooster Coop

Set in India although the theme is universal, The Rooster Coop follows Shahana, a young well-bred, well-married Brahmin woman as she faces a crisis in her life. Must she give up everything she knows to follow a new path? Will she find some other way to be true to herself? Does the past always come back to demand its truth?

 

Dissent

Set in the Welsh borders, Chapel country. A powerful story of one woman’s search for acceptance into a community she does not understand, a way of life she has no feeling for. Will she follow her own path, be true to herself, or bow to her only son’s wishes? Would you make the same decisions? Have the same courage?

 

NEW: The Man & The Map

Follow the story of the making of the Mappa Mundi as its young designer finds his own way in life.
