PRINCE OF ITHACA or THE TWELVE AXES When Odysseus goes missing his way home from the Trojan War, Prince Telemachus sets out on a secret voyage to find his father and bring him home. Accompanied by the mysterious Athena, who claims to be the daughter of Zeus, he follows his father's trail battling witches and monsters as he searches for the Invisible Isle where lonely Calypso is keeping the king prisoner. Will romance blossom when the two young people finally meet? Or has Athena got other plans for the handsome prince? And with Odysseus out of action, can Telemachus take the impossible shot through twelve axes to save Ithaca? This book was inspired by my 2007 Seven Fabulous Wonders tour of Malta. Legend says the neighbouring island of Gozo is where Odysseus was shipwrecked on his way home from the Trojan War, and it's easy to imagine the nymph Calypso living there in her cave by the turquoise sea. The story fills in the missing chapters of The Odyssey, taking Prince Telemachus and his friends further than Homer did and giving them a bigger part in the king's rescue. Read a sample HERE. |

RED MOON The wolf will lie with the deer and give birth to a new nation... Set against a world of spirits on the Mongolian steppe, this fantasy romance is inspired by the "Secret History of the Mongols" and takes the form of a love triangle between the young Genghis Khan (Temujin), his sweetheart Borte, and his blood brother Jamukha. When Borte's father has a prophetic dream of a wolf and a deer whose descendants form a new nation, her hand is joined to nine-year-old Temujin's in betrothal.
