• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A fast-moving Gothic thriller, sinister, sexy and evocative, calling on many elements of the supernatural as well as contemporary issues, as experienced through the eyes of a feisty heroine without a recorded identity.
Ankerita, a Tudor noblewoman released from her tomb after half a millennium of disturbed sleep, is desperately trying to stay one step ahead of traffickers, the evil organisation that needs her for her blood, and the demons still trying to reclaim her soul.
She becomes aware that her best friend is dying, but that there is a chance the friend can be cured if Ankerita can complete the 'Summoning'. She needs to track down a number of lost treasures, hidden long ago by a sorcerer from Celtic legend.
The ritual shall be evoked on a specific night when five planets align again for the first time since she died, but her pursuers are ever present, and if the invocation is disturbed, it will be Ankerita who loses her life.
As per 'Ankerita, Seasons out of Time', the first novel in this series, all supernatural content is based on existing sightings, legends etc., some of which have been experienced by the author personally, and the occult procedures are a combination of documented rituals and methods.

Autorenporträt

Robert Wingfield used to sleep in the technology department of a large organisation between 9 and 5 each day, (except on Fridays when they woke him at 4 and sent him home early), but he finally got tired with this taxing routine and left his job for good. A prolific writer, to date he has over twenty works, electronically and in paperback, available through various outletsall can be tracked through www.robertwingfieldauthor.co.uk.

His work covers several genres:
Satirical sci-fi novels, 'The Dan Provocations', hopefully having you laughing out loud (or cringing, when you realize how closely satire matches reality).
Gothic chillers in the form of the 'Ankerita' series (The Seventh House) featuring a Tudor anchoress reborn in modern times.
Travelogues in the 'One Man in a Bus' series, currently cover Sicily, North Cyprus and Syros in the Cyclades.
Other short stories with a supernatural flavor ('The Black Dog of Peel' is free for you on this site).

For the younger reader, 'The Mystery of the Lake' and 'the Mystery of the Midnight Sun' have a Swallows and Amazons feel, and are suitable for even your grey-haired old great-aunt.
'The Adventures of Stefan' kick off with 'Stefan and the Sand Witch', a modern day fairy-tale, and 'Stefan and the Spirit of the Woods', an eco-fairytale.

For those who have elderly relatives telling them about embarrassing ailments, you need 'Everyone's Guide to not being an Old Person', a gentle satire on what people do when they get old, and how to avoid it.

For those struggling authors, he runs The Inca Project, a set of free resources to help you get your works into print. He also provides formatting and editing services through the project, to ensure you get the best result from your masterpiece. See www.incaproject.co.uk

He has written many reviews on management books and was a member of the Chartered Management Institute and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers when he was working and could afford the subscriptions.

His other interests include digital forensics, nature and building conservation, photography, and resisting emotional blackmail from his Labrador.
