Former journalist and editor with publications like The Toronto Star. Toronto Telegram, Christianity Today. I have lived in Toronto, Virginia, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, London England and Wales.

So exploring a legend, asking how accurate it is and asking "what if" the legend were indeed true. If so, what kind of impact might it have on today's society? That gives me the genesis of a story. For example, my first book looked at the legend of King Arthur and his sword Excalibur; the second looked at the Holy Lance legend, and my latest explores the legend of Prince Madoc who landed in Mobile Bay some 300 years before Columbus, and who disappeared into the American interior leaving a trail of legends about Welsh-speaking native tribes. Once I have the legend, the 'what-ifs' take over!(less)

Two parallel worlds

It’s about a clash of cultural expressions. It’s about arguments for and against foreign influence on culture.

Sounds like today, doesn’t it? But it is actually the middle of
