The Bear of Pichesham
A journalist uncovers the unlikely legend of a 700-year-old bear, only to discover that it may be real—and has plans of its own.
New York journalist Annie Maylor needs a new start. Scouring her family history for a story that will reboot her career, she travels to England searching for the truth behind the strange entries in her great-grandfather's diary - stories about a bear, stories that make no sense.
What she finds is the village of Lower Pichesham, welcoming and beguiling, rich in history and concealing a hidden past. Lurking somewhere in that past, the bear is real. She has her own stories to tell, improbable adventures that start in the Dark Ages of Central Europe and wind up at the dawn of the space age. And the bear has her own agenda…
As their paths collide, Annie begins to unravel the mysteries shrouding Pichesham. When events take a deadly turn, she discovers the secrets that lie within her. Secrets that trigger an astonishing adventure of her own.

Forced together by circumstance, devout monk and wild outsider find themselves hunted and harried, drawn ever nearer to a confrontation with their pursuers. But in this slippery tale where nothing is quite what it seems, fate (or something like fate) may have its own mysterious agenda ...
A prequel to The Bear of Pichesham, this mystical adventure blurs the line between the real and the fantastical.
Turold & Afelgievu
Turold & Afelgievu - Book 1 of Turold
Nestled quietly in the Bayeux Tapestry, among kings and knights and the story of conquest, stands a small man. His name is Turold. Most who pass him by don't look twice.
They should.
Second son of a minor Norman lord, too short for a knight and too stubborn for a priest, Turold has made himself something rarer - a teller of tales and witness to history. With the gift of a voice that speaks directly into the minds of the powerful, a ring that binds him to a creature of questionable morals, and a talent for being overlooked, he walks the edges of great events. He was there at the surrender of Brittany. He was there when Harold swore his oath. And when the conquerors decided who would tell the story of what happened - they chose him.
But this particular story is not his alone. In distant England, a lady of distinction fights her own battles against rejection and illness, against those who think her theirs to use as they will. Afelgievu listens and acts. They will not meet this time. But their destinies are entwined
Set in the same world as The Bear of Pichesham, fantastic and historical events interweave in England and Normandy in the years before the Conquest.
