THE FIRE TREE SAGA
The Fire Tree Saga charts the lives of a young girl whose bafflingly realistic dreams turn out to be real events and two young women who could not possibly have less in common but who, as fate would have it, share more than they could ever dream. Every little girl has dreams of being a queen. The Fire Tree tells of one who is born to it and another who has it thrust upon her. It isn't just a story, it's an inspiration. The Fire Tree had only burst into flames once before, eight hundred years ago. It was, I assure you, mostly regarded as a mere myth. The tree was first aflame when the Vikings were about to put Queen Kiffan - Queen of the West Highlands of Scotland - to death. The Fire Tree is ablaze, again! What can it mean for her descendant, Queen Annis? Could she be the warrior queen foretold by the ancients who would unite Scotland and deliver it from disaster? What is the object that the screeching eagles in the mountains guard in their nest? The answer to this and many other intriguing questions unfold in the 7 books of The Fire Tree Saga. Follow the story as the meek become bold, as the servant becomes the master, as the downtrodden rise up and how those who have given up hope find something in which to believe.
THE GIRL WHO COULD DISAPPEAR
Greesha is a dreamer. She dreams of the future and of the past. Her dreams, however, are incredibly vivid and astonishingly real. Slowly, the shocking truth dawns on her: The dreams she has feel like reality because they truly are reality.
When she starts to hear voices, she tries to ignore them, but the speaker will not be quiet. When, finally, she replies, she embarks on an astonishing adventure that will take her to places she had no idea existed.
Greesha was born on the island of Ellan Vannin in the Irish Sea (which will, one day, become known as The Isle of Man). She begins life as another hungry mouth to feed in a desperately poor family. As she grows, she develops gifts that risk her being accused of being a witch. There is only one consequence of such an accusation: That is death by burning.
In a moment of carelessness, while dreaming, Greesha accidentally saves someone's life and, in doing so, fundamentally changes the history of Scotland. Can she make things right or will she be drawn, ever deeper, into a web of strange events?
Her intervention means that, when King James of Scotland becomes King James of England in 1603, there will still be a Queen of the Scottish Westlands and she will be a strong rallying point for the clans who live there.
