Produktbeschreibung

A ghost story set between the death of the English king, Henry 8th, and the coronation of his daughter Mary Tudor. Religious and political persecution run rampant as the country swings between the Catholic and Anglican religious reform. Henry's son, Edward, states on his young deathbed that the crown, and country, should pass lawfully toward protestant Lady Jane Grey but the Catholics push for Henry's daughter, Mary, to take the throne regardless of his decree.

While the intrigue plays out the story sees Mary attend the burning of the witch Morgan; much against her guardian's wishes. Something happens there that changes the would be queen forever.

After consulting the catholic church, the barber surgeon and, lastly, the Anglican bishop to no avail, Lord Norfolk, Mary's guardian, sets off to find a strange man said to be an alchemist. He previously was condemned as a pagan heretic and the man went into hiding, Norfolk has strange luck which eventually leads him to the man.

There follows a series of events which perplex and mystify the guardian and ultimately forces him to reject everything he ever believed about God and religion.

Autorenporträt

If we create our own reality then you may find mine within the words of my writing. If art reflects life then shouldn't it contain joy and grief, gain and loss, good and evil?

All those hidden depths we do not like on show, those parts of ourselves usually hidden away far from public sight.

Real art is sometimes obscene, Art is sometimes confusing, obtuse and obscure but it must also be full of light and happiness, great insight or intrguing puzzles; it must show us a way to look at ourselves more fully and understand what we see with greater clarity.

Over the years and years of my life I have put to paper what has moved me, what has opened my eyes, what has shocked me to the very core and what it is to be me.

I was a very lost soul for much of those dark days, months and years and tried to shine a light into the darkness with artifacts of oblivion; still today my consciousness drifts between the fluid and fixed, the focused and obscure.

It is open like the books I have created, Let's face it, I am no Dickens or Shakesphere,. But considering I was virtually illiterate when I left secondary education I've not done too bad.

The pen kept scribbling, not making much sense at times, and over that time (with careful editing) a line was been drawn from 15 to 59.

Give it a go, you may find the growth and progression stimulating; all it may cost is time.
