So thrilled to be a Finalist in the Readers’ Book Awards for Book of the Year 2025! And then to be awarded a medal! Thank you so much, Coffee Pot Book Club. It’s like an early Christmas present.
Troubled medievalist Dr Anna Petersen and her old adversary, archaeologist Professor Matt Beacham, must unravel mysterious runes on an Anglo-Saxon seax found at a weird burial containing both 6th century and modern remains. My latest novel has garnered some really lovely readers’ comments:
“a beautifully crafted historical romance with a time travel twist”,
“richly layered with sensory detail”,
“brings both the past and the present timelines to life”,
“solidly researched and authentic”,
“a page turner”,
“engrossing”,
“beautifully crafted”,
“utterly compelling”,
“fast paced, a rivetting plot!”
and more …! Wow! Thank you so much, all my dedicated readers, old and new. What a great end to 2025. If you haven’t yet read it, it’s available at
