The Erzulies or Ioa in Haitian Voudon are three sisters. The watery Erzulie is La Sirène, a beautiful mermaid who lures men to her watery domain where they live for what seems like a year, but might be decades or centuries. Generally benevolent, she can turn as violent as the stormy sea. She appears in Lost & Waiting

My genre-bending adventure novel Lost & Waiting is out now on Amazon in paperback and Kindle.

I use the myth of the World Tree to highlight the significance of plants to our world and the importance of their conservation.

The novel draws on Chilean and other myths and folklore. It has a strong female lead, with an element of historical fiction.

Honest reviews will be very welcome.
