About this author

Hi, I have recently had my first book, The Companion of Lady Holmeshire, published by World Castle Publications. I have a long history of creative work, from oil painting to jewelry design and working alongside an interior designer. The recent recession took out both my job and my jewelry business. Having enjoyed period movies for years while making jewelry, I decided to start writing a novel in that genre. It just felt good to turn my creativity in that direction. I began by looking through picture books of British villages and castles. The story began to grow, and I am thrilled with the fact that it was accepted for publication and that I am now here as an author! I hope you enjoy both The Companion and in the future, my work-in-progress,...more

Simon de Montfort and King Henry III

All of God's Creation forms a line of power and greatness, from the hierarchies of heaven, through popes, kings, lords and common mankind, and so on down to the lowliest worm - so said Thomas Aquinas.

Debra Brown Great, thanks! I am so busy, but want to get some books read, at least.


message 4: by Sophia

Sophia Alright, I'll put it in the general section. I'll try to copy in the blog tag for it since it is so pretty and eye catching.

I'll encourage folks to put what level their doing and updating when they finish books so the rest of us can maybe get some good book ideas. (-; Thanks so much.

Oh, and I'll put something up on the FB page too. Good idea!


message 3: by Debra

Debra Brown You could mention it on our FB group, too, if you would like. I should look into getting a link on our blog.


message 2: by Debra

Debra Brown Hi Sophia,

Please do! That would be great. You could post it in the first section if you would like.

Thanks!

Sophia Hi Debbie!

I am planning to participate in the Historical Tapestry reading challenge for this year. It suddenly occurred to me that others might be interested in doing this too.

Would you mind if I posted up the reading challenge in the Historical Fiction group you run on the site here under events or under whatever you think it would be best to put it? No biggie, if you prefer that I do not.

Hope you had pleasant holidays.
Sophia/Sally/Sundee
