An epic re-telling of the timeless tale of King Arthur and his knights. Beautifully told in a flowing and natural style that brings fresh life to this tale, this book is also wonderfully illustrated with original drawings. It is a delight to read; thrilling, enchanting, brutal and sexy.
I am married to my husband Paul and have two girls in their early 20's. But my family doesn't end there, as I also have 5 grandchildren. I was born in a small village in Ash near Aldershot, Hampshire, England, but moved to Northampton in 1985 where I have since remained.
I began to write this epic book after I was involved in a serious accident where I was stuck with a dirty needle and for one year I didn't know if I would be suffering from AIDS or not. A lot of the darkness for this book comes from these experiences.
I have been writing my epic tale since 2001 and also creating my own artwork, which has been included in the book, much to my sheer delight. In the 1990's my husband and I sold many of my artworks and also his coloured computer artworks in quite a few exhibitions around England. The best exhibition we have ever had was in Northampton Museum and Art Gallery several years ago, where I was blessed with some enterprising sales!
I have put many hours of research into my book to maintain the original story of Arthur, but was determined to take the 'stuffiness' out of it and to make the characters real and believable. But my main interest, and the thing that fascinated me most, was the pagan beliefs of those distant times. I think that when it comes down to it I am very much like King Arthur, for I am a woman of two faiths. And I must mention that my epic tale does not end with the death of the king, for he is the King to be Reborn many centuries from now, far into the future, as the story continues...
