Interview with the Author Q - So, what makes the Golden Threads Trilogy special? A - A handful of readers noticed the science fiction elements very early and speculated that my fantasy elements were stealthy science fiction. I did my job if you have to consider ‘is that possible for science?’ I made this complete series a solid mix of genres. Starting with fantasy and slowly adding in hidden science fiction elements. By the mid-point of the series, the readers enjoy a clear view of both sides of the battle. In this war of wizards and warriors, there are equal elements of fantasy sword & sorcery and science fiction action & adventure. This world has the expected mythical creatures like elves, dragons, orcs and ninjas but with unique twists you will enjoy. I won’t spoil the story for you. I designed this complete series to keep building and compelling you to turn the page. I’ve made sure there’s never a dull moment. Q - Are these books safe for teens and tweens? A - Absolutely, there is no explicit details or bad words. Adult subjects are there but dealt with in a tween safe way. I made this complete series a fast, fun-ride for adults and teens to live with wizards and warriors! Each of the books has hit the top ten bestsellers list on Kindle for Fantasy and Science Fiction, which isn’t easy. Q - What order should I read the books in? A - Good question. I do not mean these books to be read out of order. I’d recommend the following sequence: Thread Slivers Thread Strands Thread Skein Q - So, why should readers give these books a try? A - Because the Golden Threads Trilogy is a fast, fun-ride that takes you to a wondrous world of wizards and warriors!

Theo has apprenticed himself to an explorer in order to follow those leads across the country—but one after another proves to be a dead end. Then Sophia discovers that a crucial piece of the puzzle exists in a foreign Age. At the same time, Theo discovers that his old life outside the law threatens to destroy the new one he has built with Sophia and her uncle Shadrack. What he and Sophia do not know is that their separate discoveries are intertwined, and that one remarkable person is part of both.

This globe-spanning history of sewing and embroidery, culture and protest, is “an astonishing feat . . . richly textured and moving” (The Sunday Times, UK). In 1970s Argentina, mothers marched in headscarves embroidered with the names of their “disappeared” children. In Tudor, England, when Mary, Queen of Scots, was under house arrest, her needlework carried her messages to the outside world. From the political propaganda of the Bayeux Tapestry, World War I soldiers coping with PTSD, and the maps sewn by schoolgirls in the New World, to the AIDS quilt, Hmong story clothes, and pink pussyhats, women and men have used the language of sewing to make their voices heard, even in the most desperate of circumstances. Threads of Life is a chronicle of identity, memory, power, and politics told through the stories of needlework. Clare Hunter, master of the craft, threads her own narrative as she takes us over centuries and across continents—from medieval France to contemporary Mexico and the United States, and from a POW camp in Singapore to a family attic in Scotland—to celebrate the universal beauty and power of sewing.
