A man of peace in a time of war, Isambard Kerne must choose between the power of words or swords. The fate of both Earth and its Shadow hangs in the balance. Will he be able to master the Way of the Windsmith in time to save the valley of his ancestors? Or will the terror of war change Kerne into what he fears the most? 

'You have captured the strong physicality of the ancient Celtic Afterlands from their myths and legends, without sacrificing any of their ‘otherness’, their spirituality. It is gripping story made even more poignant and potent for being woven out of familiar and haunting strands from ancient Irish and Welsh traditions, and familiar and haunting images from modern wars… It is a chilling concept that we affect the Afterlands by our actions in this world. It is a thought-provoking book…apart from being a thoroughly readable yarn. I love that your skill in poetry comes through in your prose. I love the quotes at the beginnings of the chapters drawing the threads of time together and weaving a rich tapestry of different, yet similar, realities. Moyra Caldecott, author ‘Guardians of the Tall Stones’ and many others

Imagine an island at the crossroads of time where lost souls find each other… Isambard Kerne, Edwardian antiquarian and First World War observer, missing in action at the Battle of Mons, finds himself in the Afterlands of his Celtic ancestors and has begun the Way of the Windsmith – the path he must take to find his way back home, for he is a man alive in the world of the dead. Having learnt the secrets of Eurus, god of the East Wind, Kerne must sail into the west, to Hyperzephyrus, the Land Beyond the West Wind. With the help of a mysterious boatman called Barinthus, he finally makes it to the fabled Island of the Blessed, Ashalantë, a city in the sea crafted by dreams, where the vision of Plato, Da Vinci, Brunel and others have come to life. Here he has to endure the Circle of Truth and embrace the shadow of his past. He meets Amelia Earhart, legendary American aviatrix of the Thirties, who is assigned to him as his angel to instruct him in the art of flying. As they climb higher they find themselves falling in love, but Priestesses of the Spiral are forbidden to do so. If Earhart breaks her vows, it could shatter the fellowship of the Nine Sisters, and cause the downfall of Ashalantë. Torn between duty and desire, Kerne and Earhart find themselves embroiled in a tragic chain of events that threaten to bring about the destruction of not only this otherworldly paradise, but its shadow: Earth.

The Burning Path

Three strangers meet in a nameless desert and must come to terms with their past before they can escape it: a First World War airman; an American aviatrix of the Thirties; and a French poet of the skies from the Second World War. They are the lost of history and must go into the desert to find themselves. To find peace they must walk the burning path. Each is forced to confront the question: What are you prepared to sacrifice for the one you love?

'You use words so beautifully. You describe the interlacing worlds so dynamically and brilliantly.'
Moyra Caldecott.

Save your country, or save yourself. You  decide...

Kerne and Earhart  reach Hyperborea, the Land Beyond the North Wind,  where the windsmith  must master the secret of the Bora if he is to escape  Shadow-World – but  first he must save it. In an alternative 1940s Great  Britain, Kerne is  confronted by a dystopian version of his precious homeland –  laid waste  by prejudice, pollution, and fear. The country is ruled by the  fascist  army of the White Dragon. Kerne must undertake a perilous journey into   the far north to become Hyperion, Lord of the Winds, if he is to defeat  Aveldra  and the Agents of Discord once and for all. The spirit of the  Battle of Britain  is kindled as the fate of a kingdom is fought for in  the air between Spitfires  and fire-breathing dragons. In the hour of his  country’s greatest need, a King  returns – fulfilling an ancient  prophecy – but is too late? The lost of history  clash in this epic  finale of The Windsmith Elegy.
