Hywel (The Cyfarwydd Series)
” Imagine a time when climate change is such that you notice seasonal changes within your life span. Imagine a time when unseasonal weather causes snow one week and a heatwave the next....floods destroy farmland and homes. .. the borders of your country are buckling under waves of immigrants. .. the infrastructure and government of a country is hard pressed to deal with all of the above. … add to that scenario, a failing currency, no central government, no emergency services, no lines of communication, no health service, no legal system to apprehend and punish, no means of receiving aid from overseas, no transportation system and no media. Got the picture of the 5th century? ‘Hywel’ traces two decades of British history prior to its subjugation by invaders and settlers from mainland Europe. It is the story of a young man in the mid-5th century who became the story teller at the court of Gwidol Gwytheryn(Vortigern)…”
White Clam
“When young Chet Palmer joined the crew of the coastal schooner Exact in the frontier city of Portland in Oregon Territory in the year 1851, he had no intention of losing his freedom. But a routine trading voyage to the Indian west coast of Vancouver Island, with a stop in Puget Sound to offload a group of pioneers who planned to build a city there, has left him in the alien world of the Nootka Indians as a slave and triggered an adventure of survival and enlightenment beyond his wildest imagination.…Chet realizes survival is up to him, a stranger in a strange land. He immerses himself in the ways of the Indians, constantly aware that his life hangs by a thread and danger lurks everywhere. In time, Chet's acquaintance with a fellow slave, a young Salish boy from the Washington Territory, turns to friendship and to partnership as they plot an escape to the freedom of the Puget Sound country to the south.”
Doves and Thunder Gods
” In 1967, when second lieutenant Sandy O'Connell begins nursing on a Kansas fighter pilot base, a dying pilot tells her."Laggards come home from war with stories to tell; true heroes are rendered speechless." Little does Sandy know that she will soon become one of the silent few. As the war in Vietnam escalates inequalities - between rich and poor, politically connected and grass roots citizens, women and men - become the fiery center of a conflicted country…”
