If the Memory Dies, a Forest Falls ‘For the good of all the worlds you must heal the severed root. It starts and ends with the tree.’ Time is running out for the tree weavers of Syluria as an illness takes hold of the sacred Nymet tree. Their only hope seems to lie in a half-whispered legend of a flame-haired girl from beyond the Dreamtime. Charlotte Stone doesn’t feel much like a legend with her life falling apart around her. She is forced to swap her exciting, nomadic lifestyle for a sleepy East Anglian village but Brackenheath is not all it seems – and neither is the lonely old oak on the hill that has been haunting her dreams. Charlotte and the Weaver Tar’sel join forces with some unlikely allies in the form of a straight-laced fairy civil servant and a delinquent elf with a case of ‘brown thumbs’. Together they set out to save the Brackenheath oak and with it, an entire hidden world from destruction. Meanwhile, as the roots of the Nymet Tree begin to loosen their grip, an ancient evil awakens… and it’s closer to home than Charlotte realises. The Children of the Nymet is book one of ‘The Nymet Chronicles’, which follows the adventures of Charlotte Stone as she pieces together the puzzle of how the fates of her family and Syluria are irrevocably entwined. The Lord of the Rings meets Artemis Fowl and Lara Croft in Charlotte Stone and the Children of the Nymet, a new fantasy adventure story laced with old magic for the 12+ age group.

“Do you trust me Meghan?” His voice was soft, almost pleading. I swallowed and tried hard to discern his expression in the dark. The paltry amount of light reaching this far into the small cavern glinted off his eyes, giving him the appearance of a demon trying to tempt me into doing something evil. “Yes,” I answered, my own voice a mere whisper, “I trust you.” “Good.” He gave my hand a quick squeeze, and then I was pulled forward into the icy abyss that loomed before us . . . A year ago, Meghan Elam learned that she was Faelorehn, a being of the Otherworld. Immortal. Now she must juggle her life in the mortal world with the one she has started to build in the Otherworld. However, keeping her identity secret from her friends and family while trying to avoid a wrathful Celtic goddess is no easy task. With the help of the intriguing Cade MacRoich, Meghan will learn that not only does she come from a place full of magic and wonder but that she, too, is far more powerful than she ever thought possible.

The Book of the Great Queen is the culmination of nearly 20 years of the author's study and practice as a dedicant of the Morrigan.

Cover art and illustrations are by Valerie Herron of Mystic Media. Production of the book has been crowd-funded through a very successful IndieGoGo campaign in 2014, nearly tripling the original goal."

This structural analysis of myth, first published in 1985, focuses on social and political problems of Indo-European mythology. Dr Jarich Oosten tells how the ancient Indo-European gods competed for supreme power and the exclusive possession of the sacred potion of wisdom and immortality. In examining the social code of the wars of the gods, he reveals that there are remarkably consistent patterns in time and space: paternal relatives, equals at first, prove unable to share power, magic goods, etc; while some gods retain their divine status as an exclusive prerogative, their brothers or paternal cousins are transformed into demons; relatives by marriage, however, who are unequal at first, succeed in sharing power and magic goods, and thus become equal partners in the pantheon. Dr Oosten describes how the ancient mythological cycles were broken down and transformed into heroic sagas and epics, and shows how many traditionally related themes – the severed head, the magic cauldron – were preserved. Gradually the political problems of kingship came to overshadow the social problems of kinship, as in the development of the myths of King Arthur. Dr Oosten argues that the social code remains basically the same, and his analysis of this code gives a fascinating perspective on the development of Indo-European mythology from the oldest written sources to the comparatively recent faitytales.
