Pull of the Yew Tree is a literary piece of intrigue and love set in Ireland during The War Of The Roses. Based on the great Geraldines, the Earls of Kildare, the charismatic characters take the reader on a journey through a world fraught with death, dishonour and betrayal. Unlike the English rulers of the time, little about the Fitzgeralds has been produced in fiction novel format, until now. This is the first book in the Crom Abu series and ends in the aftermath of the Battle of Barnet, a battle fought during a period which came to be known as The War Of The Roses.

Renie, the youngest sister, is living with the newly married Nell, happy in her waitressing job at the King's Head Hotel. But a shadow falls over her the day Mr Judson arrives as assistant manager. Feeling increasingly harassed by him and also eager to escape from Nell's unpleasant husband, Renie is delighted when she is offered a new job in London. Although she at first finds the city a huge and bewildering place, soon she is settling in and making friends. And yet she still worries about her sister Nell, and the way her husband Cliff treats her. When tragedy strikes Nell and her family, Renie is left feeling horrified and helpless. Her only comfort is her growing friendship with the injured Gil, towards whom she has felt an instant trust and affection. But can their relationship progress from friendship to something more? And how will the return of the threatening Judson affect their future?

As some of the oldest living organisms to be found in Europe, yew trees have become inextricably bound up in some of the oldest enduring institutions of European culture. In The Immortal Yew, Tony Hall explores the biological, cultural, and mythic significance of these imposing evergreens. Supporting a range of animals and plants, yew trees foster new life by contributing to biodiversity in their surroundings. But their common occurrence in churchyards and their evergreen leaves have given them a separate folk status as symbols of life--in the British isles, they have come to represent the resurrection and eternal life central to the Christian faith. Their enduring significance to British culture extends beyond the church, however--even the founding political document of British government, the Magna Carta, is believed to have been sealed beneath a yew tree. Despite the enduring presence and significance of the yew tree across a millennium of British history, this seemingly immortal stalwart faces new threats in the twenty-first century as elderly trees near the end of their lives and global climate change threatens the next generation. Perhaps by spending time in the generous shade of one of the yew trees Hall documents in this beautifully illustrated book, a new generation might begin to learn the importance of protecting its legacy and invest in its future.

Its unique invitation: change your perspective by "being as a tree" and consider yourself in light of the qualities of our arboreal friends. Engage with the spirit of each tree and explore its relationship to the stages of your life and the rhythm of your days. Experience within yourself each tree's positive attributes, gain perspective by taking on each tree's role as "witness," and find respite from the frenetic pace of modern life. Praise: "Wise, inspiring, and entertaining, this is a profoundly practical book about nature's magic and how it supports our personal development. I warmly recommend it."—Dr. William Bloom, author of The Power of Modern Spirituality "A very fine book on the deep magic of the trees. Penny Billington shows us how these trees function as guides and initiators, teachers and friends and along the way gives us a first rate introduction to working with the energies of the land to promote healing and new life."—Ian Rees, Psychotherapist, Trainer, and Program Director of the Annwn Foundation

My seventeen short stories are arranged in chronological order with the exception of the first "The Cosmic Lifeguard" which is the story of an alien who can recover victims from a watery grave. As for the rest, they start in ancient Greece and finish with a story of the very distant future. Many of my stories started as thought experiments such as "Could someone sometime in the Middle Ages have discovered the cause of bubonic plague and why were they ignored?" or "Could druids have known how to treat cancer?".
