Jack Shepherd’s life in Australia is good. However, the arrival of a letter from England threatens to blow his comfortable life apart.
The only way he can unearth the truth, is to fly to London as soon as possible.

 Young Celia huddles in the back of a taxi, with no recollection as to how she got there. On arrival at Greyache House, her sense of fear and despair increases dramatically. Shrouded in perpetual fog, the menacing property is occupied by strange and unpleasant characters. Not least the evil cat, Crudus.
The only person, who shows her any kindness, is the housekeeper, Mary.
 While taking a walk, Celia finds an old shed hidden in the woods surrounding Greyache House. Finding the shed is the catalyst, propelling Celia on a terrifying journey through the land of Dauthus, in search of the narrow path. The path that will lead her to The Shadowed Valley, beyond which is the mighty gate and safety.

 Along the way she meets John, a young man also lost and searching for the mighty gate. However, he has chosen the wrong path and is heading into grave danger. Celia persuades him to join her. As they journey together, they encounter many terrifying foes, and Celia is forced to wrestle with a tragedy that strikes deeply at her heart.
Will they survive, find the gate and regain their lives and their memories?



 Jack arrives at Heathrow airport and is met by Ted, the friend who sent the disturbing letter.
What did Ted say in the letter that triggered Jack’s urgent flight to London? What could be the link between Jack and Celia, and can Ted convince him that he is Celia’s only hope?

Review 'Pieces of Light' by Julie Cave

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0890516081/ref=cm_cr_mts_prod_img 
I really enjoyed ‘Pieces of Light.’ Sadly it seems the final book in the Dinah Harris mystery series.

As usual the author Julie Cave takes us on an exciting journey, filled with twists and suspense.
Throughout the book the gospel is sensitively woven into the story.
I love the way the book ends!

If someone enjoys a gritty thriller, without the graphic violence and overt sex, then this is the book.

I highly recommend it. Once I started I couldn’t put it down.

The Shadowed Valley

Who was the hostile woman sitting opposite celia in the taxi?
What was Greyache House? And why was she being forced to go there?
Why did she have no memory of her past?
And why was the old shed hidden in the grounds of Greyache House so important? What was in it that would effect Celia's life? Plunging her into an adventure filled with darkness and dispair. If she could just reach the light, all her questions would be answered

Published at Last

It's taken quite some and I've had to have a fair bit of help, but at last my book is published and available in print and in Kindle form. In many ways it has been a rather stressful experience, but now it's done and I can relax, apart from the promotion side of things, which I actually enjoy, especially book readings and signings.
After all the hard work, I can only pray it does well. I guess it's a case of watch this space. :)

A Charming Story

This is a delightful story. I have never been to Africa but this piqued my interest. This is not the sort of book I would normally read, but the author Sylvia Stewart, held me from the first page to the last. I felt close to young Kondi as the story progressed and found myself concerned for her safety when horrid uncle Kakama came on the scene.
I found the glossary on the back page very helpful as well. I would certainly recommend this book as a Christmas present for any young person. What I also liked was the fact that the gospel is shared, but very sensitively.
