Tralee, Ireland. September 1948.
An arrogant, and highly agitated, priest arrives home after 40 years.
Days later he's dead. Suicide? Or did his past catch up with him?
Fourth Book in the Southern Swallow Series finds the Academician Li K'ai-men in exile on Hai-nan Island. China has a new invasion threat. A showdown between ingenuity and technology explodes as the Sung Dynasty tries to preserve itself.
I write historical fiction set in the Tudor and medieval period, featuring women like Anne Boleyn, Margaret Beaufort, Elizabeth of York and Katheryn Parr.
Background
Information
I have spent most of my adult life bringing up my four children and running a smallholding in West Wales. When the children grew old enough not to need round the clock attention I went back into education and gained a batchelor's degree in English and a master's in medieval history. Now I combine those skills to produce Historical novels. Two years ago we downsized to a home overlooking Cardigan Bay on the west coast of Wales.
I have ten historical novels available in paperback, on kindle and some as Audio books:
The Beaufort Chronicles: Three book series following the life of Lady Margaret Beaufort.
A Song of Sixpence: the story of Elizabeth of York and Perkin Warbeck.
The Winchester Goose: at the court of Henry VIII
The Kiss of the Concubine: a story of Anne Boleyn
Intractable Heart: the story of Katheryn Parr
The Forest Dwellers
The Song of Heled
