Candle Dark
Book One - Ironbridge Gorge Series
Joshua was nearly eleven and he worked down the Blists Hill coal pit in
the Ironbridge Gorge and he hated it down there. He hated working in the dark,
he hated the rats and the stink of the tunnels, and he especially hated it when
the mine flooded and his boots got soaked and rubbed his feet raw. Then the day
that Mr. Bradley the horsekeeper gave him another beating so bad he ached and
ached all over, he made up his mind to run away and find work on the Severn
trows. But what would happen to poor Drummer, left behind in the dark? What
would happen to his mother, left to the mercy of the evil Isaac Whitlock? And
how could he sail to Bristol when his father had been sent to work in the most
dangerous part of the mine? Afraid of the river gangs, and sick with worry
about his dad, Joshua must decide whether to run for his life, or to stay in Coalport
and protect his family despite the terrible danger.

Book
One - Wolf Series
It was Toland’s twelfth
year of life when his father hurled
the wolf’s head at the mighty Eorl Uhtred, bringing his childhood to a violent
end. These were dangerous times, with people driven
from their settlements, tribal wars, and bands of robbers on the roads, but
Toland must keep his solemn promise to save the Lindisfarne Gospels from the
Vikings, protect his family, and find his father. With
his faithful hound Bodo, he sets off on his quest through Anglo-Saxon
Northumbria. Surviving the first Viking attack of Lindisfarne, his many
adventures lead him to the mysterious hermit on Inner Farne, Bamburgh fortress,
the slave girl Kendra, the mystery of the stolen jewels, a blood debt, and a
terrible discovery at the White Church…..
