In 1436 a dispute arose between the people of Sherborne and their abbot over the ownership of a baptismal font. Before it was settled, the abbey was burnt down and a bishop murdered. Some saw the hand of evil at work and blamed a newcomer to the town, accusing her of being a witch. Others saw her as a saint. Wolf Wood is set in the turbulent years of the late middle ages. The old feudal aristocracy is losing control, a new middleclass is flexing its muscles, the authority of the church is being questioned, law and order have broken down and England is facing defeat in France.

An exploration of the horror and madness of religions through the ages. It is a journey through our collective psychic wilderness, seeking to understand the human need for meaning, and the ways we have attempted to find it through mythology, mysticism, and spirituality in all its forms.
The Nature of Religion is a comprehensive examination of religious practices around the world and throughout history, using three types of analyses: historical, phenomenological, and sociological.
NoR ties in human cultural evolution with development and changes in religious practices, as well as approaching the subject as a phenomenon (breaking it into its component parts - i.e. mythology, cosmology, ethics, metaphysics, etc), and the roots of religious behavior (categorizing people as believers, teachers, and skeptics).
The work is 300 pages, with a detailed index, and 245 stunning illustrations, including rare masterpieces of art by Gustave Dore, Albrecht Durer, and works by dozens of other Medieval, Renaissance and Primitive artists.
Available in print ($18.95), and in pdf, ePub, and mobi formats ($3.99).

Wolf Wood (Part Two) traces the lives of the next generation of the Gascoigne and Perry families during the tumultuous years of the War of the Roses. The story follows the main historical events. The Gascoignes and Perrys are fictitious. Most other characters are real and I've done my best to portray them according to the historical record. Edward IV is one of my favourites. He was evidently a bit of a lad when it came to the ladies but there was far more to Edward than that. He was a good-natured fellow, a competent soldier and a conscientious ruler who was at pains to heal the scars of civil war. Circumstances brought Edward to the throne at the age of nineteen and my story follows the extraordinary series of events leading up to his coronation. The history of England would have been very different if Edward had not died at the comparatively young age of forty-two. FREE UNTIL 25 APRIL USING COUPON VV79B.
