Well, if we're talking about getting into that end-of-the-year spirit . . .
Last year I published a book that was written especially for Christmas! Well, no, not really - but a lot of the story takes place around Christmas, and the season takes rather a large part in proceedings. There are carols, gifts, nativity plays, shopping amongst the Christmas crowds - oh yes, and even Father Christmas a... Read more of this blog post »

In the Image of Ravenna (Literature & Fiction)
2 chapters
—
updated Mar 29, 2012 09:19am
Description:
Ravenna is no longer young. In fact when she sees her own reflection, she feels as though she is turning into her mother, with whom she lived until the latter's death. She ekes out a precarious living through the skills in her own hands, forced by ever-incoming bills to be always on the alert for new clients for her drawings and paintings.
Edward has also reached his middle years. On the death of his mother he left the house they had shared for so long and moved closer to the university where he lectures in History. He is liked by his students, who refer to him affectionately as "The Prof", although he has not yet reached those giddy heights in his career.
Both live alone. And yet . . . someone watches over one of them.
(This book is Adult Fiction, but the extracts given here are not offensive in any way.)

updated Jun 19, 2011 07:23pm
Description:
This is a Christmas story for adults, with strong emotions and themes not suitable for children. It isn't explicit, but suggested. However these two chapters are "safe" enough.
Flowers for Alys (Literature & Fiction)

updated Oct 04, 2010 04:57am
Description:
This is a tale from another time and another place.
The time is somewhere in the past. The place is somewhere where life was simpler, or more complicated, than it is nowadays. Somewhere where events could be beautiful or terrible, or both.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

It is the longest day of the year.
